\k(o)-rinna, kor(in)-na\
Korinna is a female name, meaning 'maiden'. Derived from the Ancient
Greek 'Corinne', '
Cora', or 'Korina', it's often confused with 'Corrin'.
Korinna's are
shy and reserved, severely lacking in self-
confidence. Introverted, hypersensitive and emotional, they need to feel secure in their immediate surroundings. Korinna's seek connection because it is as essential to them as
oxygen. They feel stimulated and encouraged by the
people they love, and can't cope well with solitude. Discreet and trustworthy, they are attentive listeners. Pleasant and conciliatory; their partner will not be neglected. She's capable of disregarding her own desires in order to make her beloved happy, especially if she has reached emotional maturity. However, underdevelopment can lead to a sort of prolonged childhood, characterized by emotional dependence.
Being of a nervous disposition, they're inclined to process matters internally, retaining a certain self-control, moving forward in life slowly but surely. They can often be divided with
work, revealing themselves to be stubborn, perseverant and anxious to do a good
job down to the last detail, whilst at other times, they appear
lax, careless and can let themselves go to laziness. This is due to a lack of affective motivation. As
children, they are extremely vulnerable and terribly introverted, capricious, nervous and particularly exclusive. They must learn to take responsibility for themselves from a very early age.
