If you need another characteristic in addition to the cogent ones already mentioned, you may wish to consider the fatalism of Romeo and Juliet. This trait, of course, is concomitant with their impetuosity.
Both Romeo and Juliet summon and allude to fate as a force acting in their lives. In the first act, Romeo has a sense of foreboding:
I fear, too early. For my mind misgives
Some consequence, yet hanging in the stars,
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date
With this night's revels, and expire the term
Of a despised life closed in my breast...(1.4.113-117)
After Mercutio's death, Romeo ,
This day's black fate on more days doth depend,
This but begins the woe others must end....
Oh, I am fortune's fool! (3.1.120-121,137)
This sense of foreboding certainly affects the actions of the two lovers. When faced with the dilemma of marrying Paris when she is already married to Romeo, Juliet also resorts to thoughts of fate:
I'll to the Friar, to know his remedy.
If all else fail, myself have power to die. (3.5.252-253)
In Act V, with his sense of fate, Romeo assumes that Juliet's death is true, and cries out, "Then, I defy you, stars" (5.1.24) and rushes to the apothecary. Likewise, Juliet succumbs to the same fate as her Romeo in her impulsiveness. They are, indeed, "star-crossed" lovers.
