The Holtzclaw Portrait Summary

Stature - Tall, blond haired, blue eyed, tow-headed, with a prominent nose and inclined to baldness.
Moral Character - They admire prudence rather than rashness--what they call foolhardiness. While they don't usually have deep piety, they are quite temperate, and have a high standard of morality, while not being fond of gambling or strong drink. They are not usually very forgiving, and if someone has wronged them and then comes against hard times, they might state unsympathetically, "Good! He got what was coming to him". While, if a friend comes against hard times, you couldn't find a more sympathetic, giving and devoted friend.
Independence- Independence is like breathing air to a Holtzclaw--they're passionately fond of personal independence, and deeply value the rights of others. This affection for independence leads them to not cooperate well with others, be quite self-assertive, have little regard for others opinions, and have a lot of ambition. This love of independence leads them to be well thought of, but not highly successful.
Family - Holtzclaw's are very loving to their families, devoted and faithful, fond of their homes and stay in it, and dotingly fond of their children. They value security and and love their land. They have a love of ease, and the ability to get along with very little, and enjoy a very simple life.
Personality - They usually are quite shy, but they are quite the jolly fellow and very good company, having geniune fun in his character, at times, is quite witty. They are very opinionated on a variety of subjects, enjoy a good argument that might be more heated than enlightening. They have an empatic apathy toward ostentation and braggadio. There is in him a little Socratic irony, which while minimizing his own value, takes a slightly malicious delight in pricking the bubbles of other people's vanity, and more than that, secretly laughs at other people for accepting him at his own low valuation.
Education and Success - Holtzclaw's come from an old schoolmaster, and pride themselves on being well-read and well informed. They have common sense and book sense. He is economical and thrifty. They tend toward the orderly, logical type rather than the brilliantly inventive, nor are they clever with their hands or mechanically inclined.
