What's a synonym for a passionate person?
According to the few anthropologists brave enough to study them in situ, a small (not in stature) but little known tribe in the north of Ardor--the Ardorians--are particularly known for their passion for roasted anthropologist.

An alternative to Ardorian, of course, is: "hot-blooded" adjective: lustful; passionate. "hot-blooded, pulse-pounding passion"
synonyms: passionate, amorous, amatory, ardent, fervid, lustful, libidinous, lecherous, sexy, virile
A more moderate and general term is: Enthusiast noun: 1. One who is filled with enthusiasm; one who is ardently absorbed in an interest or pursuit: a baseball enthusiast.
