Courtesy. That would be a most basic trait I am looking for in a submissive. First impressions are very powerful. Don't underestimate the effect your first communication will have on my impression of you. Your ability to follow a simple request has important consequences on further communication. If you would like the courtesy of a response, have the courtesy to read my profile. I will not reply if you haven't read it.
Ideally, I'm looking for a live in submissive who desires to serve his/her Mistress throughout the day and be rewarded with partnership, love and appreciation, sexual and play opportunities and support in personal growth. Open to new adventures along the way. I value the following traits: honesty, integrity, intelligence, openess, liberal world views, playfulness, self confidence, flexibility , patience, calm, outgoing, respectful, responsible, emotionally stable, reasonable.
As a Mistress, I like to be in control of my submissive's actions, one who will attend to my needs and wants according to established protocols. I don't need or want to micromanage my submissive's actions, nor am I looking for a puppet on a string. I enjoy attending play parties and private play too. I'm active in my local community.

Occasionally I will sub and in my experience as a submissive I enjoy the freedom of giving myself over to another's control. I choose my partners carefully. When you contact me, you must tell me your favorite color.

While I enjoy being with submissives who have some experience and know how to behave themselves, I have experience introducing this lifestyle to new participants. I have limited tolerance for those who think it's nothing more than a spanking and a good fuck. Those who are interested in learning, understanding and participating in the variations, both mental and physical aspects of BDSM are quite enjoyable.
