Nina Hartley
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Nina's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Nina Hartley comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Nina Hartley - 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 Nina Hartley" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Nina a little better. This page describes the disguise Hartley wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

She is very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind Hartley's quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When Nina Hartley wants something she goes after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and what Nina Hartley wants, Nina Hartley usually gets.

She is not a person who lives haphazardly or superficially. Nina wants to live passionately and intensely and is not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. Nina Hartley functions well in crisis situations and she often seeks them out, for she enjoys the feeling of living at full capacity.

She is very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. Nina Hartley usually has strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. Hartley approaches life very instinctively and is not always fully conscious of why she feels or acts the way she does. Nina Hartley also has a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal rapport with them.

In new relationships she is rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until she gets to know and trust someone - and trust does not come easily to Hartley. When Nina Hartley commits herself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, she is intensely loyal and devoted to them and she also expects the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If she is ever betrayed by someone she cares deeply for, Nina Hartley is capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as she once loved. Nothing is done halfway. In fact, she is intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever she cares about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in her.

Because of her natural reserve, others may see Nina Hartley as something of an enigma. She is quite self-protective and often defensive. Nina Hartley also has a very magnetic quality, especially to members of the opposite sex.

She may come across a bit scattered, nervous, or restless, as if she cannot sit still. Nina Hartley seems alert and quick, but sometimes a bit on edge. Nina tends to stay perpetually busy, and would find handiwork of some kind to be soothing.

Nina Hartley seems quirky, unusual, offbeat and "different". Sometimes it seems that she is trying to provoke people and upset the status quo just by being herself. Hartley tends to be restless, excitable, and somewhat ungrounded or nervous as well.

Nina Hartley radiates a sense of pride, self-assurance, and a definite awareness of her own importance. It is hard to ignore Hartley when she is present, and her personality may overshadow or dominate the scene.

Nina Hartley appears responsible, conscientious, and solid - qualities which encourage others to take her seriously. She is unlikely to present herself as more than she is, and this humility is often endearing, or at least appealing, to others. Even as a youth, Nina Hartley seemed mature for her age.

Nina Hartley has a dynamic personality and great ability to improvise, but she is likely to surprise, perplex or confuse people in her relationships constantly. Her somewhat eccentric, impulsive and hasty actions could lead to accidents if she is not careful.
