Personality Profile

Eshe always seamed a bit high strung or flustered. Giving off a feeling of a hard working if not a bit high strung woman. Clearly being caring and concerned with patients and friends. But lacking some of the basic interactive skills that would should have at her stage in life.

This goes double for personal relationships.
