Metal Rabbit personality

Metal adds definition to the Rabbit's soft-spoken style, combining courtesy with a clearer sense of personal boundaries. Discernment becomes the focus: choosing carefully what to welcome, keep or decline. The challenge is allowing those choices to be explained openly, since a polite exterior can otherwise conceal a fixed decision that the other person has not had a chance to understand.
