Fire Dragon personality
Fire amplifies the Dragon's visible presence, producing a portrait of conviction expressed with colour, enthusiasm and a readiness to take the lead. The strength lies in making a bold proposal feel immediate rather than distant. Its demanding side is impatience with a measured response, particularly when questions about detail are mistaken for a lack of belief in the larger idea.
