She has a heart of gold and is caring and affectionate. She enjoys Hello Kitty, Manga, Jellycat, crafting, shopping, and keeping active. At times she can feel anxious, become easily distracted, and may need calm, reassuring support to help her feel safe and confident.

Reliable and punctual
Trustworthy and honest
Flexible in your approach
Organised and able to use initiative

Additional Information
Due to past experiences, building trust may take time. Clear and supportive communication is important, as speech may sometimes be difficult to understand - you may need to repeat back for clarification.
