Your name of Magenta has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You do not find it easy to articulate your deeper thoughts and feelings; it is much easier for you to pen your thoughts. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. You seldom allow others to get too close until you are sure you will receive understanding. Although you would give anything to be spontaneous, fun-loving, and natural, your name makes you very serious and self-conscious instead. Others find it a challenge to get to know you and although you want affection, friendship, and understanding, your aloof, shy qualities rebuff the attention of others. You find companionship in novels and can become so absorbed in your reading that you are unaware of what is going on around you. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. A quiet walk in the outdoors, where you can listen to the sounds of nature, the wind in the trees, the lapping of water against a shoreline, the chirping of the birds, which become your companions, allow you to experience peace and freedom. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent.
