Personality
The Geminus twins are both affectionate, doting upon those they love. They are very close brothers and never argue. Marcus adores Flavia and gives her the pet name "My little owl".Yet in 'The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina' he changes and becomes very stern toward her and even shouts at her, which he never does. Flavia finds out it's because he has been criticized about letting her be too independent and he even arranges for her to be married to a senator's son in Rome.

Famous quotes containing the word personality:
“But most of us are apt to settle within ourselves that the man who blocks our way is odious, and not to mind causing him a little of the disgust which his personality excites in ourselves.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
“The child begins life as a pleasure-seeking animal; his infantile personality is organized around his own appetites and his own body. In the course of his rearing the goal of exclusive pleasure seeking must be modified drastically, the fundamental urges must be subject to the dictates of conscience and society, urges must be capable of postponement and in some instances of renunciation completely.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
