The antagonist appears early and keeps appearing. A parent who could not be argued with, then a headmaster, then a company, then a state agency or a rival who seems to have unlimited means. The native's plans are large and are met by something larger, and the contest becomes the organising fact of a decade. Such people are not victims; they select these confrontations, and they are visibly less alive in periods when nobody is standing in the way.
Reversed, the native is somebody else's immovable object. Given authority, they use it thoroughly, and are astonished to be told they are overbearing, having experienced themselves as reasonable throughout. Partnerships and family money are common battlegrounds, and the arguments turn on control rather than sums: who decides, who was told, who holds the papers. The word used about this native by those who lose to them is usually not unfair but relentless.
The resolution is neither surrender nor conquest but ownership of the appetite. A native who admits plainly that they want power can then choose what to do with it, and such people make excellent advocates, prosecutors, union officers and turnaround managers, since they know exactly what the other side is protecting. Unowned, the opposition produces a life of grievance against enemies who are half real, and an old age spent reciting the case. Both ends belong to the native. Only one is usually claimed.
