Natalie Portman
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Natalie's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Natalie Portman comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Natalie Portman - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Natalie Portman" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Natalie a little better. This page describes the disguise Portman wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Modest, unobtrusive, and often rather quiet or shy, she is a person who is content to stay in the background or to serve as an assistant, in the supporting role rather than in the lead. She is quite humble in her own assessment of herself; she seeks perfection, with a tendency to be overly self-critical. No matter how well she does something, Natalie Portman always sees the flaws in it and how it could be improved. Often Portman will simply refuse to attempt something because she feels she cannot meet her own high standards.

Natalie Portman has an eye for detail and she gets upset when something is not done just so, usually something others consider rather inconsequential or trivial. She is hard to please and her relationships with others may suffer because of this. Natalie Portman also has refined sensitivities and is very discriminating and particular in her choice of foods, clothes, friends, artwork, etc. Order in Portman's environment is very important to Portman.

Portman steps into situations rather cautiously, and not without realistically assessing all of the risks and potential advantages involved. Unless something is a safe bet, she is unlikely to dive into it. Natalie Portman tends to underestimate her own capacities and to lack confidence and trust in life, which inhibits her spontaneity. Worrying is a bad habit of hers. On the other hand, Natalie rarely falls flat on her face and what she does, she does very well.

Others see Natalie Portman as a self-sufficient and rather self-contained person. Portman has a strong sense of propriety. Politeness, good manners, and correct behavior are important to her. Her clear, cool, objective and non-emotional attitude is apparent to others first, and though she is really quite helpful and caring, she does not radiate much sympathy and as a result, others may not see the helpful side as readily. Natalie may seem more businesslike and factual as well as more conservative than she really is at heart. She is the person others might go to for technical advice or an unbiased opinion, but not for emotional support.

She is keenly observant, intelligent, and has a great desire for learning and for self-improvement, but she is not especially ambitious and is often satisfied with a rather simple, unglamorous position in life.

Natalie Portman is extremely sensitive to all of the incoming impressions and energies around her, and at times she can be overcome or dominated by more forceful personalities. Learning to establish clear boundaries is important for her, as Natalie Portman tends to become enmeshed emotionally and/or psychically with whomever she is with. She may have the chameleon's trait of seeming to become the people or person she is with the most.

Natalie Portman appears to be unusual, highly independent, and a free spirit. There is a touch of brilliance, of the creative genius, in her manner. She is also restless and easily distracted, tending to fly from one thing to another, which may give the impression that Portman is unreliable.

Natalie has an open and cheerful manner and attracts attention because of her good taste in clothing, hairdo and general well kept appearance. Natalie has the ability to create a harmonious environment and relationships and she is happy and confident in the company of others.

Natalie Portman tends to suppress her feelings and may even pretend that she does not have any, therefore appearing rather cold. Natalie feels separated from others and is inclined to isolate herself. Others see Natalie Portman as a reserved, detached and serious person.

Natalie Portman seems to float between the worlds and prefers to live in a world of illusion rather than reality. Somewhat insecure and uncertain, she may try to avoid responsibility. Her ideas tend to be a bit strange and Natalie Portman should guard against pursuing the wrong objectives.
