Shirley Temple
drive and ambition

She is non-combative, noncompetitive, and somewhat of a pacifist. Temple will give something up rather than fight for it. She may seem weak-willed or ineffectual, for she does not have a powerful ego drive for personal achievement and material advantage, or for winning at the expense of someone else.
