Psyche, in the beginning, is the ingenue.
She is young, naive, smart, and beautigul.
She goes through an initiation and becomes a goddess.
By the end of the story, Psyche's archetype is that of the maiden ;
beautiful, clever, capable, and vulnerable.


This is the shortest answer I can do.
Hope this answered our question.
