Susan

Based on Susan Walters, an emergency room nurse for 30 years who survived an attempted murder on her life by a hit man in Oregon. She fought like a warrior, killed her attacker and still showed incredible compassion towards her ex-husband for ordering the hit. A Susan is a prepared fighter who won’t back down in protecting themself or others. If they have to end you they will, but they won’t enjoy it because they value human and are very empathetic.
Wow! Did that person seriously just get hit by another driver and rush over to see if they’re okay? What a total Susan.
