SK: “As a shy introverted person I thought being confident & assertive meant being the loudest in the room. With Maria’s guidance I learned I do not need to be that way — I can still be myself.” - feedback received. #lifecoaching #developmentcourses #assertivenesscourse #confidence

Pursuing impeachment IS speaking out, and it’s a form of speaking out that is loud, assertive, and demands attention.

I agree that the Greens will come unstuck when subjected to scrutiny on their policies and their leader but a more assertive alternative is needed from the centre too. The Lib Dems have a lot of very good policies; I just wish there was more confidence and energy in pushing them forward.

Sound like an inexperienced ref who hasn't yet figured out when and when not to be assertive, along with taking the role far too seriously. This'll come as scant consolation, but trust me when I say that they'll put their foot in it soon enough and be found out.

Canada's assertive foreign policy and economic diversification increase its leverage with the U.S., potentially reshaping North American geopolitics and yielding better terms in negotiations.

Trump seems to be the catalyst the EU needed to become more economically and militarily integrated and assertive. The EU should award him a gold medal. He craves gold medals.

We don't need any more writers as solitary heroes. We need a heroic writer's movement: assertive, militant, pugnacious.

It's interesting that the Strunk & White writing style guide suggests using direct, assertive language.
And social media requires a lot of: mostly, maybe, probably, kinda, sort of, possibly, I guess, dunno, could be, pretty much, usually, a few, there are times, might be, and may haves.

libra, the sign of energy and ambition, is also strong at the moment and that means you must be assertive and ambitious. if you make an effort to be more ambitious than your rivals you could make a name for yourself. you can do it.

Alyss... does not. She just doesn't think of herself that way. Strong and assertive as she is, she's still an elf raised in a human city. The norm for her was either to get dealt slurs or to get objectified by shem and even before Vaughan her sense of self-worth absolutely suffered for it greatly.

Does your original character consider themselves beautiful? What is their reason if they do, or if they don't?

Christianity is patriarchal I won't deny that. But don't conclude that we hate women. Men that teach must remain assertive and male personalities are always stronger so it's just practical for men to have the burden to teach.

Men are socially dominant in Christianity and women are recessive.

A brunette model with loose, wavy hair stands confidently in an urban alleyway, wearing a long black leather coat that flows around her like a dark cloak. The coat's lapels are wide, and its asymmetrical hem creates a sense of movement even when she's standing still. Underneath, she wears a gray knit sweater with a subtle texture and a single button at the neck, tucked into high-waisted black leather pants that hug her legs. Her right hand holds a black leather handbag with silver hardware, while her left hand is clenched into a fist, slightly raised. The model's posture is assertive, with her weight shifted onto one leg, and her facial expression is determined. The alleyway is dimly lit, with tall buildings on either side and a hint of mist in the air, casting long shadows that accentuate the model's features. The lighting is soft and diffused, with a warm glow that highlights the textures of the leather and knitwear. In the background, the alleyway stretches out, lined with old br...

Had to do that a few times when I was younger because again, when you don't have any material support, sometimes you gotta grab fiction and superglue to put together your personality again and - whoops, villains get to be assertive and say 'no' to authority figures. And wear the best oufits

Lorelei “Rory” Winter (World of Darkness, she/her) An entropy/life mage from Cologne, Germany. She comes from a long line of mages & was trained by her mother & grandmother. She suffers from eldest daughter syndrome as she’s always taken a caretaker role with her younger siblings. However this has resulted in her making very few decisions for herself. During a divination reading she found a string of fate leading to her soulmate (it’s quite rare for someone to find their soulmate whether it be romantic or platonic). The only problem, the string led to Ames, IA USA. Torn between responsibilities to her family & coven & finding her own happiness she decided to take the step towards decisions for herself. After about a year of being in Ames she finally met her soulmate, Cas (one of my Hunter players). As she’s spent time with the party she’s come to see the reality of being a Hunter. When Cas was on death’s door she reflected on her next steps. Does she continue down this road despite its struggles or should she give up & avoid the constant life & death situations? She confessed to Cas her reasons for coming to America & that they are soulmates along with her growing romantic feelings towards him. The two started dating & now she aims to learn how to be a Hunter to support Cas & her new friends. Pyewacket (World of Darkness, she/they) A powerful mage that holds the Seat of Forces on the Chicago Council. She is bubbly & loves music. She works as a DJ, mostly downtown or north side Chicago. This passion leads into her magic as she specializes in sound manipulation. However her magic is tied to her emotional state so she must always be mindful of her emotions as they can trigger her magic. The original Chicago Council in my Mage campaign were all named after cats. Pyewacket comes from @sketchbunnyplus.bsky.social Vellarus (World of Darkness, he/him) The former head of the Cult of Ecstasy, but now serves on the Chicago Council in the Seat of Time. He is a problem but kept the rest of the tradition in check. He met the party before the battle in Concordia. He messed with them by bringing in alternate timeline versions of himself. He also had them question his various unmarked canned alcoholic drinks that he pulls randomly from his inside coat pocket. He has met 2 of my Hunters in game & has chosen to stick around to see what sort of trouble they get into. He gifted one of my Hunters a can of alcoholic gravy. Tegan (mage), Evan (werewolf), & Chris (hunter) My adorable throuple in my World of Darkness campaign. They met during a hunt Chris had & it was sparks at first sight. They all started dating but Chris had to keep it secret from her conservative family, mostly her father. Evan kept it a secret from his pack as they had a hatred for humans. Tegan’s family are sleepers but knew of her poly relationship but not of her or her partners’ abilities. The trio eventually moved in together, leaving their family issues behind them. Tegan attends uni for music, Chris runs an auto body shop, & Evan does customer service for Chris & is a homemaker. Tegan is generally reserved but passionate about the things/people she cares about. She is a forces mage mostly focusing on sound manipulation. Evan is a pacifist by nature but will fight to protect Tegan & Chris. He enjoys being a homemaker & gets so much joy from taking care of others. Chris is assertive, has a thick skin & is a bit autistic. She is skilled in marksmanship, knives & crafting.

I get the sense that Francesca is also very different in the books. More assertive and whatnot? Which makes sense for books that release years apart! When you have a TV series, you don't want Daphne, Francesca, and Eloise to have virtually the same personality.
