o How does their sexuality manifest itself?
She is not a very sexual person, she masturbates on occasion, if her body is in some kind of sexual distress.

o What about them is base and puerile? Greed? Approval? Esteem?
Linda is very much a narcissist, though she'd never admit it.
She sees herself as a protector, and a healing force for people, she might shove away a more capable doctor if someones life is in danger, considering herself to be "the only one who can save them."
this is why she works with the orphans, she looks down on them, considers them ill, incorrect. she hopes one day science will be able to fix them.
she isn't much lustful or gluttonous.
Linda can have wrath, however, if someone were to get in the way of her goals.

Graduation from Medical School, she considers this to be the moment she truly became everyone's angel, a real nurse.
Getting a job thanks to her friend, Donna.
o What is their pathology? How will the behave? How would this person overcome things to behave a different way?
She behaves like a child with a gun. she is very agressive with her care and concern, and can be overbearing. she may confront her own weaknesses at some point, if helped along by close friend, and might then behave in an extremely reserved manner, being unsure of herself and her place in the world, unsure if she can really do anything to help people.
