A 'free spirit' is an English idiom that refers to a human being who feels unconstrained by convention; rather, the spirit of liberty is paramount to that person. Such people should be distinguished from libertines who could be considered to carry that spirit to excess.
The ''free spirit'' should be distinguished from the hero, in that a ''hero'' can be viewed as a leader, perhaps in a struggle. Rather, a ''free spirit'' tends to act alone, without the connotation of moral victory.
The combination of ''free spirit'' and ''winner'', for example in the Olympic games has existed for millennia. This can be viewed as the antithesis of the authoritarian or tyrant.
Free spirits are inclined to explore life and taste new experiences that hold true to the deepest parts of themselves versus being influenced by what the masses around them are doing. They are often people who think freely and have the courage to hear their own voice and follow their own integrity.
