Athanasia is a simple and nice person, but she can easily be influenced by others. She is sensitive and always eager to express her agonies. She is not very stable in her opinions, but she can be very reliable at work.
Um, no…I am far from simple, nice is not usually the word used to describe me, no one can change my oppinion, and I am very stable in my oppinions. I go by my middle name, but the so called “nicknames” are something I would never consider. I give you points for saying I’m reliable and express my agonies quickly, but that’s about it. O_o
