Histoire. Née en 422 à Nanterre, Geneviève est d'abord religieuse recluse. Elle rassure, nourrit et sauve, par ses conseils judicieux, la population de Paris lors de l'invasion des Huns, en 451, puis de celle des Francs. Sa réputation est telle qu'elle devient conseillère des rois Childéric et Clovis. Elle est à l'origine de la construction de la Basilique Saint Denis. C'est la patronne de la ville de Paris.
Caractère. De caractère rude, ce sont des "fonceuses" qui affectent de ne pas accorder beaucoup d'importance à leur vie sentimentale. C'est en fait une carapace qui dissimule une très grande sensibilité. Volontaires, voire autoritaires, elles sont aussi généreuses. Peu sociables, elles n'ont que peu d'amis. Travailleuses, elles font passer la vie professionnelle avant tout.
