Marla Maples
motivation

Behind Maples' rather cool, conservative, somewhat impersonal and businesslike demeanor (as described on the previous page), she is much more passionate and emotional. Marla Maples often conceals her vulnerability beneath a veneer of toughness or indifference.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, she is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Marla Maples is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and she only allows a special few into her inner world. Like a wary animal, she is cautious and mistrustful of those she does not know until "he sniffs them out". She is highly instinctive and intuitive. Marla Maples usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though she may be unable to clearly articulate why she feels the way she does. Her feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Marla Maples also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and she forms very intense love bonds and attachments. She is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that she perceives as a threat to her relationship with someone she loves. When Marla Maples commits herself to someone or something, she is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Marla merges with or "marries" the person she loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for her, and often stormy and nasty. When Maples has been wounded, she is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Marla will most certainly never forget the hurt and she often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to her.

Whatever she does, Marla does with passion and fervor, and she often goes to extremes. Maples can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Maples can also be very narrow-minded: either she is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for her at all. Rarely is Marla Maples emotionally detached and objective. She definitely has a fanatical streak. She is also immensely strong-willed and her tenacity in pursuing her objectives often borders on obsession. She is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Marla Maples loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Marla never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Marla Maples tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to Maples. Marla Maples has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy her; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Marla Maples may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Marla Maples tends to see things from her perspective only and to be rather subjective. She also enjoys talking and expressing her views but does not always listen as well. Marla Maples has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

It could be hard for Marla Maples to face up to her mistakes because of her insecurity and self-doubt. Her early years may have been undermined by poor relationships with one or both of her parents who may have been ill, weak or alcoholic.
