Submissive Badass

A badass is a leader. They stride in confident, stare The Rival down, and dominate any situation they're in...Except when they don't. This is an index for badasses who shy away from the leader role. They may appear meek and mild at first, but show hidden reserves of strength, or conversely, they may appear strong and confident at first, but show a hidden gentle side.
