Fiery is a great descriptor for me. I am a very passionate woman and not just in a sexual manner. I am determined to have my own informed opinions about a great many subject and do not change my thoughts with the turn of the tide. Surely, I may change my mind if more information is revealed that may cast valid doubts on previous points. Fiery though I am, I do temper some of that passion eloquently among certain company but I do not abandon my point of view. That would be disingenuous and there is far too much of that in this world.

Of course, some people do not appreciate this. That's a tremendous loss on their part, but as I love intellectual discourse and pursuits I have yet to encounter one that lacked passion. After all, this is why some clients desire intellectual Companions. They want someone who has her own thoughts and are not afraid to voice them in an elegant manner. Authenticity is important. A fiery, passionate Companion can inflame the mind and the body equally.
