Childlike

Women mostly do their best to appear as young adults, regardless of their actual age. Meaning, girls try to appear older and older women try with varying success to appear younger. So be it, the behavior is widespread.

Which makes the presentation-of-self of White House press spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre seem, at best, unusual. She seems to present as a precocious child, talkative, intelligent, but pre-adolescent and naive. 

She reminds me of Hermione Granger in the first couple of Harry Potter films. Am I the only person who has this perception? Isn’t this an unusual role model for a woman in the public eye?
