Warrior
According to "The Heroic Myth Self-Test", I am a Warrior. As a Warrior, I am strong, loyal, a fighter, and do well with instructions. I agree that I do have a tendency to stand strong with my personal viewpoints and defend things and ones that I love. Even in cases when ones that I love hurt me, I still defended their character, regardless of the torment I was dealing with. I chose the above photograph to depict myself because the cartoon appears determined, strong-willed, sexy with strength and confidence, admired, angelic, protective and protected, and has the ability to flee whenever desired. The gold she is wearing symbolizes richness, wealth, and elegance. Also, this is one of very few illustrations of a female warrior.
The golden armor that is worn relates to my conscious protection of my heart, mind, and feminine body parts. The fact that the midriff is not being protected represents the preciousness and defenselessness of my womb and the children that I have bared. It is believed that a woman's weakest point is during pregnancy when her womb becomes more important than herself and any trauma to the womb can severely implicate the life of the woman and the unborn. The sacredness of the vagina is characterized by the criss-crossing of the swords and the dip of the golden armor. It could also symbolize the strength and power that the vagina has. It has the ability to choose who has access to it and whether or not a life could be created there. The double sword can also indicate decapitation if anything unwelcome comes near the vagina. Once again, I agree this is a very sacred part of my body to be cherished and that holds truth for all women, whether they realize it or not.
Strength and confidence is illustrated by the woman's head being held high and her straight back. My confidence is shown when my head is high and my posture follows accordingly. Warriors have to be strong and confident in order for them to be persuasive and reassuring. Body language communicates all types of truths that the mouth may lie about. I usually allow my body language to tell the public how I feel, except for when I need to make a particular impression. For example when I'm upset at work, I cannot allow customers to see this, so I put on my happy, confident, strong, superior mask. Typically, I hate to wear masks because it's telling the world a lie, but sometimes there are circumstances where you have to put your best foot (and face) forward in order to obtain success.
The golden helmet depicts how I protect my mind by filling it with knowledge and awareness. I strongly believe in the power of education. Without education, one is not aware. If I were uneducated, in any respect, people would be at liberty to take advantage of me in more ways than one. They would be able to manipulate me into signing absurd contracts, I would not be aware of the consequences of posting private and ignorant comments on Facebook, and I would not be able to think for myself. I would be left dependent, but not know about trust, let alone who to trust.
