The specificity of your personality can be summed up by your nostalgic yearning for your roots – a “paradise lost” which is also a source of energy and vitality. Your power is linked to memory.

As a result, you may sometimes become distant and secretive. Your tendency to be rather short-tempered and easily offended, a classic flaw, is also the consequence of your need for protection and security.
