Flaviana

Humane, sociable, emotional and sensitive, Flaviana is a woman who is feminine and charming, eager to please, sensitive, intuitive and a dreamer. She´s an idealist who could be attracted by large social, community and humanitarian movements, in which she is capable of investing herself. She craves varied and frequent personal experiences and when moved by a cause she is capable of mobilizing all of her courage and energy, just as she is of making sacrifices, in order to achieve her goals. On the other hand, she avoids confrontation like the plague, and faced with the blows of fate is likely to become withdrawn and can have difficulty coping emotionally. Although she may appear reserved and even proud, this is just a facade that conceals a lack of confidence, shyness and an overwhelming emotionalism.

She likes change, diversity and travel. She is a bohemian at heart and her freedom is sacred. Fun-loving and Epicurean, she can resist everything except temptation. She is sentimental and romantic, albeit contradictory, the innocent libertine - she wants thrills, passion and excitement, but at the same time she seeks the security of a stable relationship, a home and a family. But what if Prince Charming, virile, brave and generous as she imagines him, only exists in her dreams? She could be frequently disappointed, although if he does happen to turn up one day, Flaviana will surely win him over with her generous spirit and her fertile imagination, and she will love him with all her heart.
