The following is a personality profile of Philippa Gregory based on her work.
Philippa Gregory is social, boisterous and can be perceived as shortsighted.
She is confident, she is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time. She is laid-back as well: she appreciates a relaxed pace in life. But, Philippa Gregory is also assertive: she tends to speak up and take charge of situations, and she is comfortable leading groups.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for belongingness.
Considers helping others to guide a large part of what she does: she thinks it is important to take care of the people around her. She is also relatively unconcerned with achieving success: she makes decisions with little regard for how they show off her talents.
