Ambitious
Queen Elizabeth knew what she wanted to achieve. She had goals and aspirations in mind and was devoted to achieving them. She wanted to convert her nation back to her religion, and did so, like she said she would. Without her ambitious personality, she would not have been the powerful and respected ruler she grew to be.
Independent
Elizabeth's choice to never marry earned her the name of "The Virgin Queen." She didn't want to share power with a suitor, so she chose to remain single. She handled this diplomatically by using her wide range of suitors to her political advantage.

Loyal
Elizabeth showed much dedication throughout her life. Mostly, she was dedicated to her people, country and job. She showed extreme devotion to all of these things, which is what allowed her to be such a powerful ruler. She was also extremely committed to her religion of Protestantism.

She was set on remaining single, and did just that. She argued to remain single, and achieved her goal. She was determined to convert England back to Protestantism, and succeeded in that venture as well. Through determination, her dreams and goals became reality.
