Those lucky enough to be loved by a Scorpio know that they are loyal, devoted friends for life. Scorpios are not fearful individuals, often trying things that others would not attempt. This is because they most often become self-aware at an earlier age than most other signs.

They are devoted to their friends and family and will become protective if needed.
