Gumbo-Limbo is a very unusual wand wood that is heavily prized in Florida. Owners of gumbo-limbo are bold folk, despite their often thin and tall stature. They tend to jump into situations head first and like to live without a particular destination or goal in mind. They seek a general feeling of accomplishment or enlightenment, no matter the place or subject. Despite this, they have a strong idea about what they want to feel and do. If something displeases them or makes them feel insecure, they may attack the cause of this discomfort/insecurity with great prejudice. When insecure, they can become overly sensitive and self-pitying. They are protective of their achievements and belongings. Not liking to share credit or responsibility, they have the tendency to take over a whole project during group work.

It is important to them to have a fine appearance and to live in luxury. They believe that appearance does hint towards the nature of a person or place, especially their self-worth and confidence.
