to be alone. Like Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) in Friends she can be herself regardless of what others think. She needs to find and express her free spirit.
    What happened to her at an early age to make this archetype dominate her personality? Was she abused, pushing her into her own world? Did she see so much pain she opted out of ordinary life? Was she encouraged to be psychic? Was her mother interested in the paranormal?
    To grow, this archetype is best paired with one of the following:
    The Gladiator — can teach her about feeling and expressing intense emotions.
    The Seducer or Seductive Muse — can teach her about sexuality and loosening up her shy, quiet nature.
    Messiah — can push her further into the spirit realms, giving her a chance to act out her convictions.

The Villainous Side of the Mystic: The Betrayer
    As a villain, the Mystic is the nice old lady who secretly poisons her husband. She can use her quiet nice nature to disguise her dark side so well no one would ever guess she was capable of doing anything wrong. Her sunny disposition can mask a monster lurking beneath the surface.
    She's so unobtrusive people assume she's nothing more than a sweet shy person who could do no wrong. When people learn that she isn't what they expected they feel deeply betrayed. They set a higher standard for her than most women.
    When she feels trapped by a family member she snaps and tries to regain control of her life and home. Rejection can also make her lose control.
    She has a tendency to avoid people and social situations. She's so afraid of doing something wrong that she tries to please everyone in all situations. This causes her so much stress she snaps. She feels inadequate and is terrified of rejection. She has no close relationships, is inhibited and socially inept, and is reluctant to take risks.
    She thinks people never really look at her and never try to see the real woman inside. She happily gives them the “quiet little woman” stereotype to hide her deviant nature. If married she may feel her husband is a pain who takes away all her peace and quiet. She justifies her actions by saying she may kill someone but they won't feel a thing.
THE BETRAYER
Usually feels trapped.
Uses the “quiet little woman” stereotype to her advantage.
Thinks of herself first and foremost.
Has no problem taking a life or breaking a commandment because she goes to church and pays her dues.
Relies on the kindness of strangers.
Lets others feel good about helping her so they let their guard down.
Is an expert liar.
Maybe a sociopath. Very often a mental illness can be the cause of her deviant behavior.
Is socially inept.
Is afraid to take risks and make friends.
Wants to be alone.
Feels inadequate and fears rejection.
Tries to please everyone around her and may snap under the pressure.
