FLORENCENIGHTINGALE
The Maiden (Persephone): Loves to play and go to parties. She is close with her mother or otherwise distraught if she isn’t. She switches friends and interests often; she loves variety. She doesn’t have plans for her future beyond Satrurday night. She seems very gentle and innocent and can be a wonderful listener. She can help people through trauma and can be sensitive and psychic.
Examples: Lucy Ricardo from “I Love Lucy,” Rachel Green from “Friends” and Dorothy from “The Wizard of Oz”
The Father’s Daughter (Athena): Loves to be in the city. She prefers male friendships to female and values work and career above all else. She is willing to do anything for the team and is extremely self-reliant. She always dresses for success, even when home alone. She is smart, intellectual, confident and very self-assured.
Examples: Murphy Brown and Queen Elizabeth I
The Seductive Muse (Aphrodite): Loves to be the center of attention and has a strong need to express herself. She is smart and creative, emotional and deeply feeling. She loves herself and her body. She loves to dress up and wear alluring clothes and she of course enjoys sex. She enjoys female friendships but sometimes can feel ostracized. She encourages other women to be creative and sexual; she inspires men.
Examples: Marilyn Monroe, Scarlett O’Hara and Cleopatra
The Matriarch (Hera): Loves to spend time with her family, even if they drive her crazy. She enjoys entertaining, planning parties and get-togethers for her family. She is very committed to marriage and dreams about her wedding day often. She will start a business to run as a surrogate family if she doesn’t have a family of her own. She sees her identity as wrapped up in her family and puts her husband’s image and career above her own.
Examples: Monica Geller from “Friends” and Roseanne from “Roseanne”
The Nurturer (Demeter): Spends a lot of time with her children or students or patients, whoever is in care. She puts others ahead of herself and is driven to help people. She is helpful and a joy to be around. She is a great listener, generous and committed to her family. She stays home most of the time.
Examples: June Cleaver, Florence Nightingale and Mother Teresa
The Amazon (Artemis): Loves to be outside with animals and nature. She prefers female friendships to male, but often winds up with more male friends. She values women and children and is a feminist even if she doesn’t verbalize it. She is unafraid to be out alone at night and is willing and able to fight to the death to defend herself; she stands up for her causes. She prefers function to style when it comes to her clothes. She wants to be self-sufficient and prefers to live with a man instead of marrying him.
Examples: Xena, Wonder Woman and Joan of Arc
The Mystic (Hestia): Loves to be alone most of the time. She tries to keep the peace no matter the cost and values her home life and solitude. She works carefully and slowly on one task at a time, as if there’s more than enough time. She is able to resist others who try to manipulate her. She takes part in a spiritual life and may be into the occult. She lives without material desires and expensive possessions. She may be a vegetarian and is into recycling and saving the earth. She doesn’t care if others see her as eccentric or spacey.
Examples: Phoebe Buffay from “Friends” and Annie Hall from “Annie Hall”
The Female Messiah (Isis): Cares more for others than about herself. She has a healthy sense of who she is and has a strong belief system to pull her through tough times. She seemed smarter and older than most adults when she was a child. She is willing to sacrifice herself for the good of all and stands up for her beliefs no matter the cost. She renounces material possessions and lives in tune with nature. She has an inner strength that never dies.
Examples: Trinity from “The Matrix,” Erin Brockovich, Joan of Arc, Wonder Woman, Hester Prynne and Lady Godiva
