-Most “E” answers with some “A” or “B” in the quiz.-
Theatrical Romantics are mainly Romantics, YIN, with YANG undercurrent. They can have a Yang bone structure, Yin body flesh and contrasting features. A Theatrical Romantic will have an hourglass silhouette that looks more delicate than a pure Romantic.
When it comes to men, they might have smaller torsos, round shoulders and their faces will also be contrasting. They will have some softness, but that doesn’t mean they will look feminine.
When gaining weight, a Theatrical Romantic will maintain their hourglass figure, gaining weight in their bust and hips. Their arms and legs also look fleshier, and their faces look rounder. In a man, they will also gain weight in their chest and hips.
