Cautious: careful to avoid potential problems or dangers; acting with or showing care and thought for the future; acting or done with careful forethought.

I like to think it doesn't matter much to me but looking back at my favorite characters, one of the only things they have in common is their cautiousness.

Some impulsiveness is allowed, because I don't seem to like "timid" characters like Belle, and the really extreme version, like Elsa.

At the same time, the princess should learn a lesson about "the rashness" of quick decisions without thinking of the possible outcomes. If the princess is manipulated into "cutting a deal" without having all of the variables explained to her--- as in being lied to--- then I do not completely blame her for the fallout. I don't expect her to be omniscient!!!!! But she should say she is "sorry" for believing a lie, and she should take responsibility by fighting back against the manipulator, or by admitting that she was wrong.

As someone who spent my whole life being as vigilant as possible and trying to think about the long-term consequences of things, I pick this. I like to see a DP who is doing everything she can to keep herself out of harm's way. I don't expect self-defense classes or anything but I like the DPs to pay attention to their surroundings and weigh their decisions before making them. I think that is so valuable and underappreciated in life.

"The best way to solve a problem is to avoid the problem in the first place." I strongly believe that and it has kept me very safe.

I believe in "the biggest risk in life is not take risks at all" and "every change you seek is a risk in its kind". Change is inevitable and so comes the risks with it, some are huge and some are less. IT should not overlap with living in fear and not wanting to change your situation despite it being not suited to you in the name that changing would result in taking risks.

I wouldn't want characters like Tulio from Road to El Dorado. Impulsivity is very far from my least favorite trait( I prefer impulsivity over Tulio's flaws). Impulsivity without selfishness is fine. However, I wouldn't call boldness my favorite trait either.
