even-tempered
Never loses composure
Even-tempered describes someone who remains calm and composed, not easily upset or angered.
An even-tempered person maintains emotional stability across situations that might provoke others: She's remarkably even-tempered, even when the kids are screaming.
The word suggests a steady disposition rather than mood swings.
