I think Anij is very autonomous, part of a culture of people who are very contemplative, meditative, who truly live in the moment. She is not intrusive in terms of what she expects from others but focuses more on what she expects of herself. She’s strong, protective, soulful, and spiritual. She was actually a great person to take a vacation from myself with!
