Which Type of Romance Heroine from the Past Are You?
If you found yourself in a Jane Austen novel, who would you be? Do you see yourself in a story by the Brontë sisters? According to Austen, "there are as many forms of love as there are moments of time." So have fun with this, it is by no means an absolute science.
A letter arrives from your lover with urgent handwriting. You break open the seal to read that he/she must leave the country, and that you can no longer be together. What do you do?
Saddle my horse and gallop full speed to their homestead. This is not how it ends!
If they have the audacity to end things in a letter, I'm better off without them. Love will come again.
Tear up the letter, saddle my horse, and gallop full speed to their homestead. I'm leaving with them, no question.
I am devastated, but circumstances such as these happen for a reason. It was not meant to be.
How did you meet your lover?
At a society ball. We saw each other across the room, eyes smoldering, until he/she asked me to dance.
At a dinner party. He/she was promised to another, but we could not ignore our intense feelings and so we ran away together.
In an orchard while I was reading under a tree. It was initially a bit annoying, because I was really into my book.

Your lover asks for your hand in marriage. How do you respond?

The Independent and Unknowing Damsel
You're certainly no damsel in distress. You are a formidable force on your own. Love comes naturally to you. When it happens, it happens. It takes you unaware, because you were perfectly fine being on your own. Your lover is not your other half, rather, you make each other better.
All Chaos and Passion Heroine
Yourself and your lover are so passionate you set each other on fire. Your love affair is emotional and intense. Your heart knows no bounds between love and despair. You have two states: deeply, irrevocably in love or devastated by love lost, there is no in between in your wild heart.
The Love Comes Slowly Heroine
Your heart has been shattered before. You remember what it was like to pick up the pieces. Now you're wiser about love, more careful with your choices. That does not stop you from falling deeply, exquisitely in love. It makes you strong, brave, and capable of true healing.
The Love Conquers All Heroine
Love is everything to you. It consumes you and takes up your entire being. You have a paramour, whether you have found them or not. The one soul that will shake the ground beneath your feet. Romantic is an understatement when it comes to you and your lover.
