demure 

Of a quiet, modest, unassuming, reserved nature. Somebody who is serious or sober (moderate, self-controlled) and even shy. For most of the 1800s, this was the ideal for a woman, as illustrated in Jane Austen's works and the works of many poets, writers, artists, and leaders. Not necessarily a doormat, but certainly a docile, gentle kind of persona.

The boy next door was enraptured by the ingenue, a shy, demure thing with big doe eyes and a sweet disposition.

He was a demure, unpretentious young man with his feet planted on the ground.

The boy was demure on his first day of school. Although he was to himself most of the day, he formed an acquaintanceship with a few of his classmates.
