Behavioral Portrait
She's thought about this more carefully than you have, and she'll let you know by redirecting rather than correcting. Unremarkable shirt, forgettable haircut, not looking for approval on either. She can spend an hour on a classification nobody asked for and be genuinely satisfied when she's done. Conversation with strangers is a tax she pays without enthusiasm. The idea matters, the person sitting across from her, considerably less so.
