Overview
The Butterfly is free-spirited, expressive, and endlessly curious about connection. They value honesty, independence, and emotional transparency above convention. For them, romance is a garden of experiences—not a single path. They thrive in relationships that celebrate autonomy and independence, and wilt in dynamics that feel restrictive or possessive. The Butterfly believes that romantic connection is renewable: it grows stronger through freedom, trust, and truth.
