This week Jolenta does a deep dive on Summer House’s Ciara Miller, and The Lover archetype. The Lover is that magical loving person that all the other characters are drawn to. She loves hard and is incredibly loyal. But treat her badly and the whole world will be mad at you for hurting such a kind soul. Just look at the mess West Wilson has gotten himself into after working so hard to win back Ciara’s affection.
