Daughter.
Without the skills or opportunities for business she will rally behind her husband's career as if it were her own. Watch out if he ever tries to leave her. She would be most upset at the loss of being involved with his job more than anything.
Lieutenant Jordan “L.T.” O'Neil (Demi Moore) in G.I. Jane is a Father's Daughter, not an Amazon, because she fights to become just like a man and prove she is as good as a man. An Amazon would retain and value her female essence. Jordan tries to fit into the boys' club as a male. Her words, manners, actions and values are very male by the end of the film, and she sacrifices herself for their approval several times. An Amazon like Xena would never care so much about fitting in, and in the film Courage Under Fire we see a heroic Amazon woman, Captain Karen Emma Walden (Meg Ryan), who retains her female essence throughout the film. She has no problem with feelings and tears.
What Does the Father's Daughter Care About?
Her name says it all — she cares about aligning herself with powerful men and supporting patriarchy. She wants to be accepted by men as one of their own so she can get ahead in her career. Getting into the old boys' network is a major career stepping-stone for her.
She only cares how men view her. Women can say what they want of her but she feels they usually wind up admiring her for her accomplishments.
She loves to win, or more importantly, to see her team win. She'll go to great lengths to see this happen — she's a real team player.
She wants to study and learn new things, to broaden her mind.
She likes to travel to distant lands but never without staying in a luxury hotel. She never does anything she can hire someone else to do for her. She has a busy schedule.
What Does the Father's Daughter Fear?
The Father's Daughter fears female friendship because it reminds her of her own femaleness, which she tries to suppress. She sees women as the weaker sex and fights everyday to prove she's not weak.
She can handle losing a battle or two but is terrified of losing the war. Such a loss of control is devastating.
She needs to remain in the city. Going out into the wilderness would just starve her desire to learn from books. She needs to see that nature has a lot to teach her as well as books do, but she just doesn't resonate with it.
Like the Father's Daughter archetype, Margo Channing (Bette Davis) in All About Eve is strong, stubborn and proud. She is a natural leader.
What Motivates the Father's Daughter?
The need to know, understand and belong are strong motivators for her. She wants desperately to fit in with the boys and prove she's better than most women.
Any challenge that allows her to use her strength in strategizing will grab her attention. She won't tolerate anything disorderly.
She needs to be self-sufficient and independent, but she likes to know there's a powerful man nearby to fall on “just in case.” She likes how the goddess Athena helped Achilles reach his goal but also wanted him to be of service to her.
Competition is one of her great passions, especially when it involves sharing the risk within a team so she doesn't have to be the only one to fail. If she loses, the entire team loses and she won't be left alone to pick up the pieces.
How Do Others See the Father's Daughter?
She's neat and professional in appearance. Even when she's at home alone she wears nice neat clothing; it may not be the most comfortable thing to wear, but appearance counts.
To others she seems unemotional because she's always cool and calm in a crisis. She appears to be calculating something behind intense eyes.
She has a hard time letting loose in front of others. Her home is the only place where she can truly relax. She has some playful games and hobbies hidden in her closet. She enjoys indoor activities best.
