NEGATIVE ENNEAGRAM TEST

Enneagram Tests are often criticized for focusing too much on the positive aspects of a person’s character. Are you ready to face your Enneagram dark side?

((Thank you for the tag @stxrksarc this was very interesting!

So Scott tied between Type 2 “The Helper/The Giver” and Type 7 “The Enthusiast/The Adventurer”. There’s loads of traits than come with both of these, and some relate to him more than others. The entire list is under the cut.))

Enneagram Type 2 is characterized by a deep-seated desire to connect with others by offering assistance and support. While this personality type is known for their kindness, generosity, and empathy, the negative aspects of their nature can create challenges in both their personal lives and relationships.

Enneagram Type 7 is characterized by a strong desire for novelty, excitement, and avoiding discomfort. While this personality type possesses many strengths such as creativity, optimism, and a sense of adventure, the negative aspects of their nature can create challenges in both their personal lives and relationships. 

Avoidance of Negative Emotions: Tendency to avoid facing negative emotions by seeking distractions.

Restlessness: Struggling with being fully present, and always seeking new experiences.

Overcommitment: Engaging in numerous activities simultaneously, often to the point of exhaustion.

Yandere Enneagram: The 27 Tritypes

please reblog. i'm begging you. this took 4 hours... open this link for the google document version open this link for the personality test for this system

Overview

Inspired by Enneagram Tritypes, I made this yandere theory system! It's just for fun, but feel free to type yourself or characters in it.

This is based on the idea that there are 3 centers to the Enneagram: the gut, the head, and the heart. They're made up of the 8, 9, 1, then 5, 6, 7, and 2, 3, 4 types respectively. The tritype is then all of the traits of one type from each center combined.

Some of the traits are negative and may not apply to a more healthy yandere, while some might be too positive for a more unhealthy yandere. It cannot describe the yandere 100% accurately, however, it can give a good description of their behavior.

The explanations will be explained in how each type interacts with each other in the tritype.

Terms

Core: Your main type.

Fix: Your secondary/tertiary type, one of the other 2 numbers in your tritype besides your core.

Behind the locked door

In honor of Izuku’s mask disintegrating into rubble, I think it’s finally time for me to really dig deep into his character. I’ve been keeping this one in my back pocket for a while. Amid all the talk about Izuku’s fading narration, the “control your heart” subplot, I’ve been trying to find the words to articulate how I know exactly where this is going, at least on a certain level. Most recently, I read this meta from pika who brings up how the word “control” alone can be misconstrued (by us). And then I thought about how a while back I made a similar point, although I said Izuku was the one who got it wrong. At that time, I was holding back a huge piece of evidence because it was external to the story and I wasn’t sure it would be received well. As a result, my argument fell a little flat. Well, now—after 411, right before leaks for 412—it might be my last chance to play this card.

So about that external evidence. I struggle to bring it up because it’s gonna sound an awful lot like I’m projecting onto Izuku if I don’t do it justice. But… I look at the way his storyline has been going lately and I see a pattern emerging that I’m very familiar with. Fortunately, I don’t have to dump a bunch of personal junk on you in order to illustrate this pattern, because a certain personality typing system already has it all figured out: the Enneagram.

Now, hang on. I’m not one to put people in boxes. My trans ass? I managed to get a different result every time I retook the P0ttermore quiz. MBTI, zodiacs—not my thing. But the Enneagram comes the closest I’ve ever seen to covering all the bases and revealing actually meaningful insight, at least for myself. On top of that, I find it extremely useful for fleshing out fictional characters, hence this post will be taking advantage of that.

For those who aren’t familiar with it, here’s a quick overview: The Enneagram consists of 9 individual personality types, each arranged carefully in a sequential, circular manner. They are also simply named 1 through 9. While this might seem kinda basic, there is actually a surprising amount of nuance and fluidity involved. Typing is done largely through personal introspection (you don’t really have to take a test). Adjacent numbers share some core themes with each other, and according to a web of arrows between them, one type can take on either positive or negative traits associated with other types depending on how emotionally ‘healthy’ they are, causing a lengthy spectrum of different ways each type can manifest. That part gets kinda complicated to explain here, so for more info, the Enneagram Institute website is a decent place to start. I also highly recommend the Enneagram album by Sleeping At Last (and if you really want to dedicate some time, the accompanying podcast) to really get inside the heads of the types on a deeper level.

My interest in applying the Enneagram to Izuku comes from observing how differently one can interpret his character based on whether you read him as a 2 or a 9. And even though no one uses this language to talk about him, the distinction accounts for a bunch of different rifts in the fandom: whether you appreciate bkdk’s relationship, whether you can acknowledge Izuku’s flaws and weaknesses, the severity of his vigilante/rogue phase, and most importantly the gravity of his concealed heart, his rage, and what it all means—what he needs in order to grow and triumph.

Discussion of Enneagram types in the fandom is pretty scarce, but where it exists, I have only seen him labeled as a 2. Type 9 and type 2 can be similar at a glance in a lot of ways (actually, 9s can be mistaken for any type because they are like all of them combined). It’s easy to see Izuku as a 2 because he is the helping hero archetype. He puts others’ needs above his own and he is always ready and eager to help. If you listen to Sleeping At Last’s song for 2, you’ll notice that it’s all about care and noble sacrifice with the underlying theme of neglecting or even harming oneself: “I just want to build you up, until your good as new, and maybe one day I will get around to fixing myself too.” Sounds pretty obvious, right? Well, here’s the thing. You really get to know what your type is by how it hits you where it hurts, so I like to focus on each type’s basic fear and basic desire, first and foremost, as a tell. A 2′s basic fear is of being worthless and unloved. Consequently, their most basic desire is to be loved. And 2s have been taught through their negative experiences that love is conditional, something they have to earn from others. They need to be needed. So let’s say you think Izuku is a 2. This means you consider his heroic, self-sacrificing tendencies to be a result of his growing up quirkless and being told he is worthless and powerless because of it. Through this lens, he is trying to prove himself to the world by being useful. Along these lines, you may also assume he is trying to prove himself to Katsuki. Taking this train of thought even further, you may interpret Izuku’s relationship with Katsuki as an obsession of his, where he is either blind to Katsuki’s more negative traits in favor of gaining his love and praise, or else bitterly determined to prove him wrong. This is how a 2 might behave in an unhealthy relationship with an 8, which, yes, I do think Katsuki is an 8. That’s a tangent for another time, though.

But does Izuku ever “need to be needed?” It’s worth noting that while 2s’ search for validation might seem insincere, it is actually motivated by a deep, heartbreaking insecurity. They think they don’t even deserve love unless they are useful to someone, so they do everything they can to be worthy. Does Izuku show signs of this motivation?

If I stop to think about it, I can’t exactly see this in Izuku’s character. Yeah, his dream is to be a hero, and in his childhood, he was denied that dream. However I think we need to take a step back from that for a second if we want to dig deep. I mean, a lot of the other characters also behave heroically, act selflessly, and strive to help. Does that mean all of them are 2s as well? Of course not. So let’s instead turn to observe how Izuku acts with his loved ones, friends, and peers in other/adjacent contexts:

Inko: He is committed to protecting his mother from fearing for his safety. He wants to be good enough to not cause her to worry, rather than good enough to make her proud or make her love him. Idk about his father but at this point I think it’s safe to assume he is deeply unimportant.

All Might: I would describe their relationship as one of mutual responsibility. Izuku feels a responsibility to uphold All Might’s legacy, All Might feels a responsibility to teach him well. Because of this mutuality, I don’t think it quite makes sense to say Izuku deliberately seeks approval for its own sake. You know what I mean? They may be a mentor and a pupil but in practice they are almost more like co-conspirators. They don’t really have a power dynamic going on.

Shouto, Tenya, other friends: Izuku seems to take an interest in what makes his friends tick, and he sets himself aside in order to both analytically and intuitively determine what’s wrong and how to solve it. Examples include his fight against Shouto in the sports festival, and his stubborn concern for Tenya’s reaction to his brother’s forced retirement. He will put himself in the line of fire specifically when confronted with another person’s inner demons. This is not a labor that is asked of professional heroes, it’s just who Izuku is. You can also extend this observation to how he sees through Tomura to Tenko, but I’ll get to that later. Basically, while 2s seek to help in all kinds of ways, a 9’s strategy is always centered on the realm of the mind.

Kota: Adjacent to the paragraph above, before Izuku literally gets into a position where he needs to save Kota, he becomes interested in the boy’s point of view out of genuine curiosity. He doesn’t go “oh no, this kid doesn’t like heroes, I better get him to like heroes.” Instead he seeks out information as to why he thinks that way, and patiently listens. He’s sorry about what happened to Kota, and he understands. Twice (ch 71 and 72), he recognizes the fact that everyone has their own point of view on quirks, and he can’t really do anything about that.

Mirio: This might be one of the most telling examples. Mirio is the platonic ideal of an All Might successor. He’s “perfect.” He even looks the part. While this initially makes Izuku uncomfortable, he doesn’t become insecure and defensive over it. On the contrary, he easily comes to the conclusion that actually, Mirio should have One for All. Just like that (ch 172). If Mirio hadn’t dismissed the “hypothetical,” he probably would have gone through with giving it to him. That’s not how a 2 would respond. A 2 would double down and aim to be better than Mirio by trying to establish some relationship of need, fueled by the insecurity. Their shared subplot with Eri would have looked pretty different, I think.

Katsuki: I’ve mentioned before that I believe their rivalry only exists because Katsuki put it there. First of all, we can see that after the sludge villain incident, Izuku weirdly takes Katsuki’s dismissal of Izuku’s help as practical advice. Like, “oh yeah, I guess what I did was pretty stupid and dangerous, and I’m not cut out for this hero stuff. Now I can move on and find a realistic career.” Hello?? He accepted that so easily. So Izuku clearly isn’t motivated by a desire to prove himself to Katsuki. Even when he proclaims he’s going to surpass him, it’s like he’s happily mimicking Katsuki, not reacting based on insecurity or pride. Izuku is content to meet Katsuki wherever he is, and he’s satisfied with whatever kind of relationship they are able to have, including a rivalry, so he isn’t vying for his affection either. We can observe this when he gives up the role of reaching out a hand to save Katsuki to Kirishima, and also when he thinks about how “blessed” he is to even have a normal conversation with Katsuki. He doesn’t push things. It’s also stated in Deku vs. Kacchan 2 that Izuku doesn’t excuse or overlook Katsuki’s “bad side” but still admires him for his other traits. This is not at all characteristic of a toxic 2x8 relationship.

When 2s are at their very worst or pushed into unhealthy situations, they tend to become more needy and self-centered, even downright manipulative. But at Izuku’s worst, when he went rogue, he pushed everyone away to avoid being a burden. When the refugees at UA tried to prevent him from returning, he was like, “you’re right” and would have turned back immediately if not for his friends, loved ones, and other people who care about him telling him it was all okay. Meanwhile, Katsuki, in true 8 fashion, was pissed off at being rejected and having to deal with Izuku’s stubborn and evasive side (oh yeah, have I mentioned 9s are actually stubborn as hell?), but he made sure to establish that they are (he is) here to step in when Izuku can’t handle things by himself. Katsuki even opened up and admitted to his own weaknesses to show why mutual support is so important. Tbh, a lot of the above can be construed as just super healthy type 2 behavior, but not this. The way Izuku acts at his lowest, and his dynamic with Katsuki? Totally different. Dead giveaway for a 9.

Let’s get into the type 9 itself in more detail to show how it applies to Izuku more deeply—seriously, it’s beat for beat. One of the key differences is, while 2s seek validation, 9s are actually resigned to the belief that they aren’t important. Similar to 2s, a 9′s basic fear is of separation, but their basic desire is actually just peace or harmony rather than love. Notice how these motivations are just like a 2’s, except they have the “self” part taken out. With that in mind, they “achieve” their basic desire through selflessness in and of itself, without the need for recognition. That’s not to say that 9s are better than 2s. In fact, a 9 can be worse, in a way. If unhealthy, they will seek peace at almost any cost to themselves. In other words, they can be more self-destructive while still under the impression that they are doing just fine. “Peace” may refer to the expression of empathy, fulfilling the needs of others, sheltering someone, or mediating a fight—but also to repressing their own opinions and needs, not “rocking the boat,” ignoring negative emotions, or becoming a vessel for someone else to vent to.

What about inner peace? 9s value serenity, and thus they have a complicated relationship with the most tumultuous of emotions: anger. On the surface, 9s look like the type that is extremely slow to anger and highly tolerant. However, as much as they would like to believe this about themselves too, deep down, 9s are afraid of what might happen if they lose control. My phrase for it is this: I feel like a bottled tornado. Personally, I also think of anger as a basic desire to make others feel your pain—not necessarily sadistically, but in an effort to be known, to be understood. The difficult thing to grasp, especially for a 9, is that this is NOT inherently a bad thing. It isn’t wrong to seek sympathy. On the contrary, it is harmful to tell yourself that getting angry is wrong, because it’s like telling yourself that your pain is wrong, your pain doesn’t matter.

The problem is it doesn’t stop there. A 9, in shutting down their anger, ends up with such a low opinion of their own heart, their other emotions dull along with it. They cry less, laugh less, love less. It’s often said that they “fall asleep” to themselves. It all starts with anger. It’s interesting to note how different this whole mindset is from toxic masculinity—where men only feel allowed/able to express emotions through anger. This is sorta like the opposite. Anger becomes the dam rather than the river. For Izuku, I want us to consider that his suppression of anger carries with it the implication that he is hiding other things, too. It’s a given. There’s a whole sea of feelings out there, and we can only see the waves hitting the shore. This brings me to the whole “control your heart” thing. I do think it is worth mentioning that Banjou didn’t just tell Izuku to exercise control. He also told him that his anger could be useful if it is harnessed. With this added context, “control” here means “to master.” And Izuku seemed to grasp this concept… sorta. I think that if Izuku is like a 9, we can assume he has trouble understanding how anger could be a worthy source of strength. His emotions in relation to Katsuki feel more like a weakness to him, a character flaw in a hero, who is supposed to be detached and selfless. But he’s trying to understand, even though he’s afraid of it. He essentially applied the same strategy he used for mastering OFA itself: incremental strength training. Which, okay. Take a moment to absorb how odd that is, in relation to emotions, specifically. Does one learn to cry incrementally? Does one learn to use anger by bottling a fucking tornado?? Like, what, you think you’re gonna be able to let out juuust the right amount of air to avoid an explosion??? No, man… if you want to be the master of your emotions you have to be willing to sit with them. Confront them. Listen to them. Take them in completely and accept them as a part of yourself.

For someone like Izuku, though, it is very difficult to imagine how this is even possible. Tomura, as with every villain, can be used to reflect his hero counterpart’s greatest fear about himself. Tomura literally touches everyone and everything with his rage, and as a physical manifestation of that desire to pass his own pain onto others, destruction radiates from his fingertips. Thus, losing control in this manner must be Izuku’s worst nightmare, as if he would be completely unable to stop the collateral damage like an infinite line of dominoes. But his anger is not something he can overcome, as such.

An overarching theme in this heroes vs. villains conflict is that the villains are not merely obstacles to be overcome. Just think back to Himiko’s bitter rejection of the heroic sense of superiority. She demanded not to be pitied, condescended to, or lied to. Likewise, the answer cannot be that Izuku needs to restrain himself where Tomura doesn’t. What purpose would it serve to show that Izuku is better than him? Certainly not saving Tomura. If this was a battle against AFO, it might have been a different story. In that case, Izuku would have to overcome his emotional manipulation tactics. Tomura, on the other hand, is not so strategic. With his strangely childlike tendencies, he must relish making Izuku mad because it brings them closer to the same wavelength. It’s his own twisted way or seeking sympathy, or at least, the closest thing to sympathy he can get anymore, because he believes he is beyond saving. With that in mind, Izuku isn’t going to get anywhere unless he rises to meet him. Izuku has to match Tomura’s hatred with equally strong emotions of his own, whatever they may be, or else face the loss of OFA (as established in 305). This is not an easy thing to ask of a 9, once they have started to pull the blood from their extremities, become cold and numb. Bringing back circulation is painful and makes the skin crawl.

In case you’re worried about the focus on anger here, I want to reiterate that concealed anger in a 9 is just one sign of so much more. Back when everyone started fretting about Izuku’s habit of self-sacrifice, which would have been the only thing we need to worry about if he were a 2, I was freaking out because Izuku was also starting to look like a person who has too many secrets. You don’t even have to acknowledge the possibility that he lied about what triggered blackwhip. It’s written all over his face all the time these days. It’s especially noticeable when you contrast him with Katsuki after all his own growth. Katsuki confides in people. He acknowledges his weaknesses. He enjoys being himself. He asserts his place. He thinks about Izuku all the damn time and now he even lets himself be soft about it. All this warmth while Izuku is distant, muted, and blank. I know all too well what this state of mind is like. Man, I hate secrets. You get to the point where you don’t know how to talk about even the simplest most inconsequential shit. And the bigger things? They’re like a growing snowball of words in your throat that cannot possibly fit out of your mouth. The “easiest” way to cope is to simply fade into the rhythm of life. Go with the flow.

Since 9s have a natural curiosity about the interiority of other people, they may choose to focus on that in order to divert their own attention away from themselves. Taken to the extreme, they will lose track of their sense of self. Like I said, you can see Izuku doing this as he fights, analyzing the psyche of his opponent, and his match against Shouto in the sports festival was a fantastic early example. They became friends because of how observant Izuku is. His emotional intelligence and intuition are very strong, but gradually, as he has taken on greater responsibilities and experienced more trauma, he has gotten worse at applying these skills to himself. You know, we go on and on about how his narration has been reduced to nearly nothing, and it’s not just an absence of introspection, it’s an absence of self. It creates a lack of ownership over the narrative—what should be his narrative.

Right now, he’s focusing on trying to see Tomura as a person, figuring him out. I think it would be really satisfyingly ironic if in the process, he ends up uncovering insights about himself instead. It’s about time we learn what Izuku’s secrets are. I don’t actually think that Izuku mastering anger will constitute the emotion that is strong enough to keep Tomura from taking OFA. Moreover, he can’t expect to reach Tomura’s core, Tenko, unless he exposes his own. Rather, anger is the conduit for Izuku to unlock something else. Think of the way he described how Katsuki is his image of victory. The feeling manifests when he asserts a stronger sense of self (the urge to win) and he becomes more free with his words. I have no doubt that Tomura has the power to make unfiltered honesty spill out of him. He knows how to bring out his selfish needs, his pain, his pressure points, his fears, his insecurities. Hell, maybe Mt. Fuji erupting is a metaphor. I want to see Izuku explode while Tomura watches with mad glee. But then I want Izuku to Realize Things such that it finally sets him free. Then, instead of Tomura witnessing yet another person he touches fall apart, he gets to see someone become whole.

"I let the scale tip, feel all of it. It's uncomfortable but right. And we were born to try to see each other through. To know and love ourselves and others well is the most difficult and meaningful work we'll ever do." --Sleeping At Last, 'Nine'

[writingquestionsanswered]

I don’t know if you do advice for RP but I do a lot of it so to venture my question: I’ve been roleplaying for so many years now in one specific environment. always making an OC, writing for a few years, eventually ending their story, and picking up a new OC. problem is now I’ve been doing it so long I feel like I’m out of ideas that aren’t rehashes of old characters. It feels like there’s really only four “types” you can do. Nice & sweet, smart nerd, loud bold and big, or evil/mean. Anything that could help with this??? Thanks 💙

Role Playing: Stuck in "Character Type" Rut

Hmm... you definitely seem to be stuck in a "character type" rut as there are many different personalities and archetypes beyond what you've listed here.

A few things you can try to change it up:

1 - Character Archetypes - Do a search for "character archetypes" to learn some different types of characters. While archetypes can have all different personalities, considering different archetypes can give you a fresh new foundation for the personalities you gravitate to the most.

2 - Character Traits - You can also change up favorite personalities by tweaking the specific traits a bit. For example, you can have a character who's nice and sweet but also an ambitious fashion guru. Or, you could have a character who is nerdy and smart but also old-fashioned and scatterbrained. Or, you could have someone who is evil and mean, but also artistic and emotional.

3 - Personality Generator - If you need some inspiration, there are lots of personality generators online that can give you different combinations of traits, like "honest, determined, and avoids conflict," or "creative, disloyal, kind, unintelligent."

4 - Personality Test Types - Look up MBTI types, enneagram types, or other personality test types to get some potential character models.

5 - Choose Random Traits - Another option is to consider is looking up a list of positive traits and choosing a few that jump out at you, then do the same with a list of negative traits. Just make sure everything makes sense together.

I hope the above will give you some ideas for how to venture out from your go-to character personalities!

[ MYERS BRIGGS - DEBATER (ENTP) ]

ENTPs are known for their rebellious streak. For this personality type, no belief is too sacred to be questioned, no idea is too fundamental to be scrutinized, and no rule is too important to be broken or at least thoroughly tested. This may make ENTP personalities seem overly cavalier or defiant, but at their core, their innate tendency to test boundaries has more to do with their desire for innovation and change. As they see it, most people are too ready to do as they’re told and blindly conform to social norms, pressures, and standards. ENTP personalities enjoy the mental exercise of questioning the prevailing mode of thought, and they take a certain pleasure in uncovering the value of underdogs and outliers. Their active mind can’t help but rethink the things that everyone else takes for granted and pushes them in clever new directions.

[ MORAL ALIGNMENT - CHAOTIC NEUTRAL ]

A chaotic neutral character follows her whims. She is an individualist first and last, valuing her own liberty but not necessarily striving to protect others' freedom. She avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. Though unpredictable, her behavior is not totally random; she is just as likely to cross a bridge as to jump off it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment because it represents true freedom from both society's restrictions and a do-gooder's zeal. However, chaotic neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all authority, harmony, and order in society.

[ LOVE LANGUAGE - ACTS OF SERVICE ]

The acts of service love language is a way of showing love through actions that make a partner's life easier or more enjoyable. People with this love language feel most loved when their partner takes the initiative to do things for them without being asked. When a loved one goes out of their way to make their life easier, they feel deeply connected. An act of service communicates that they are a top priority. For them, actions speak louder than words.

[ ENNEAGRAM - THE CHALLENGER (EIGHT) ]

Eights are self-confident, strong, and assertive. Protective, resourceful, straight-talking, and decisive, but can also be ego-centric and domineering. Eights feel they must control their environment, especially people, sometimes becoming confrontational and intimidating. Eights typically have problems with their tempers and with allowing themselves to be vulnerable. At their Best: self-mastering, they use their strength to improve others’ lives, becoming heroic, magnanimous, and inspiring.

[ TEMPERAMENT - SANGUINE-CHOLERIC ]

The Sanguine-Choleric is more assertive than the other Sanguine combinations. They are very persuasive and make good debaters! They have an outgoing interest in others and the ability to gain the respect and confidence of various types of individuals. They have a firm, lively, and friendly expression. They tend to speak before they think, dislike being ignored, and can seem impatient, yet they don’t dwell on negatives. The Sanguine-Choleric has a difficult time with details, organization, and consistency. They prefer that others give them information that will help them make decisions rather than research it for themselves. They are usually optimistic, but may lack follow through.

[literatureloverx]

hey, just saw your reply. You can always ask someone you think is familiar or intelligent enough to find your enneagram or help you understand it, lol. I’m not that smart and just try different quizzes.

🍪-anon

Thank you for the advice, my dear! ♥️

First of all, don’t speak so negatively about yourself. From the way you write, I can tell you’re an intelligent person, and you shouldn’t be so hard on yourself!

Secondly, I’m very meticulous. I’ll likely watch several Enneagram videos, read plenty about it, and figure out how it works, what it’s based on, and how to type people effectively. After that, I’ll judge my own Enneagram type according to those criteria. Even if someone else typed me, I’d still think they don’t know me better than I know myself, so it would have to align with my own inner framework of thinking.

For example, when I discovered I’m an INFJ, I had done many tests beforehand. Let me start with the ones I took before studying cognitive functions: I first came out as an INTP, then INFP (multiple times), and finally INFJ.

When I started studying cognitive functions (up until that point, I genuinely thought I was an INFP because it was the most common result), I realised that this was completely inaccurate.

Then I struggled to figure out whether I was an ENFJ, INFJ, or ENFP, until I was certain that I simply couldn’t be a Fi user (and certainly not a dominant Ne user), even as an auxiliary function.

I became aware that the cognitive functions I use are Ni, Fe, Ti, and Se, though I still wasn’t sure in what order. I knew Ni and Fe had to be strong, while Se was definitely lower (I tend to devalue Se altogether).

I couldn’t accept that I was an INFJ at first because it’s such a rare type, and I didn’t want to think of myself as anything extraordinary or special in a toxic sense, so I continued researching. Eventually, I realized that being rare doesn’t mean being special, and it takes effort to become a genuinely remarkable person, which allowed me to accept my type. Besides, being an INFJ isn’t as “cool” as some people believe—it has its pros and cons, just like any other type.

At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding yourself better and figuring out what truly resonates with you.

So, to cut the long story short: anybody with enough experience could type me (and this could be you, I’m definitely open if you want to try! ♥️), but I would still have to prove the outcome to myself.

TWENTY EMOJI WHAT? AHDKFKG WHAT KIND OF QUESTION MONSTER POSSESSED YOU!? I love you, Marc. ♡ Thank you so much for asking and for asking so much. This is going to be a Rio 101 post, I'll be as brief as possible.

☆ Details about OCs ☆

─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────────

Rio

💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc's MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?

I... I think I haven't thought about this before for her, so let's solve it by doing a test. *elevator music for the wait* I see... According to the MBTI test, she's an ISFJ or an INFJ. I don't know how accurate would that be...

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc's favorite hobbies?

The obvious one: cooking. Like, who in the Yamamoto household doesn't cook?

The supportive one: watching sports. Playing is usually out of the question, but she'll be rooting for Takeshi at every game.

The one not many know about: crafts. Her favorites are cardmaking, lettering, and scrapbooking.

🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

After an eye injury, her eyesight not only worsened but also became more sensitive to light changes. She needs more time than average to adjust to brighter and darker environments.

💤 SLEEPING SIGN — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits?

She's been a mess since she was a baby. Rio often woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep until a couple of hours later. It still happens to her from time to time, and it's almost impossible for her to rise early in the morning.

🔺 RED TRIANGLE POINTED UP — does your oc know how to use any weapons?

Her main weapons are an iron fan and a katana, but she can give deadly use to a kitchen knife if necessary.

🔶 LARGE ORANGE DIAMOND — does your oc know cpr? do they have any other medical expertise?

She can disinfect a wound and put a bandage on it, but pray Ryohei is close by in case you really need medical attention.

🚫 PROHIBITED — does your oc drink/smoke? do they do it regularly, or is it more on occasion or for special events?

10YL Rio holds her drink pretty well, and if someone challenges her, she'll be up for it. It's usually sake, but after moving to Italy, she took a liking to wine too.

🎄 CHRISTMAS TREE — what is your oc's favorite holiday?

Golden Week and New Year's.

🐈 CAT — does your oc prefer a wide circle of friends or a few close friends?

Although she has a wide social circle due to her job, talks to everyone, and can be pretty friendly, Rio prefers to have a few close friends.

🐷 PIG FACE — what is your oc's favorite animal?

Do Jirou and Kojirou count as animals? She loves them with all her heart 💕 (And Dino's horses, and Hibari's Hibirds, and... Yeah, you know the drill, all animals are cute)

🌴 PALM TREE — does your oc have a green thumb? do they enjoy gardening?

It's not a hobby she's ever considered.

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc's positive traits?

Kind-hearted

Calm

Adaptable

🤍 WHITE HEART — what are three of your oc's neutral traits?

Lucky

Perceptive

Family-oriented

💔 BROKEN HEART — what are three of your oc's negative traits?

Over-dependant

Avoidant

Lacking sense of self

💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?

Takeshi, without a doubt, to the point she believes like she would be unable to keep on living without him.

🖤 BLACK HEART — has your oc killed or seriously wounded anyone before? have they broken someone's heart and/or broken someone's trust?

She's killed several people. It was an accident, she lost control over her rain flames and things happend™. In some verses, she's betrayed someone's trust too and works hard to regain it.

🥯 BAGEL — what does your oc's typical breakfast look like? do they usually eat breakfast?

Traditional Japanese breakfast made by dad if she wakes up on time (spoiler alert: it rarely happens without external help), or a rushed snack if not.

☕️ HOT BEVERAGE — does your oc prefer coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, water, or some other drink? how do they like to take this drink (ex. coffee with milk, hot chocolate with whipped cream, a specific kind of tea, etc)?

Tea and juices are fine, but there's nothing better than a glass of hot milk before going to sleep.

(Takeshi prefers cold milk, and if they accidentally switch their glasses, she'll grimace at first sip).

😞 DISAPPOINTED FACE — does your oc attract others, or do they tend to be left alone?

When she's her social self, Rio's earnest smiles and attention to others attract people, but she usually prefers to make herself imperceptible.

🤒 FACE WITH THERMOMETER — does your oc get sick easily?

Not easily, but her periods are an absolute mess, and when she gets it, she's k.o. for more than a week.

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

What else do you want to know?? I don't think I have three random facts after all these questions. Let's see:

Her mother named her after a kind of cherry blossom tree, and because of that, Hibari usually loses his will to fight around her after being infected with the sakura-kura disease.

She grew out her hair because the kids at school often mistook her with Takeshi. It kept happening despite it.

She's part of the sports committee of Namimori's student council. She always skips morning meetings, and nobody notices it. (Hibari does notice and is not happy about it, oops).

🌚 enneagram types this full moon

did you know astrology and enneagram are linked? the enneagram is a shape found in the ancient practice of sacred geometry and known to the greeks, romans and egyptians

more modern thinkers helped develop the ways of using it to distinguish personslity traits and model personal growth, as with astrology. enneagram can help you make the best of your chart as you understand how it creates your type

🦋 if you don't know your type you can take the test here

head triad

this full moon in pisces affects your emotions and is a time for SHADOW WORK. the head triad of the enneagram may need to connect more with their heart for this to happen successfully.

♧ fire sign head triads may especially resistent to this process but can call on natural boldness to see them through.

♧ water sign head triads will find it easiest.

♧ for air signs, tapping into your spiritual energy will allow you to do shadow work.

♧ meanwhile earth signs have an easier time staying grounded through this period of intense healing.

heart triad

lean into your emotions this full moon. for the heart triad, no matter your sign, the emotional nature of this lunar placement is your greatest strength

♡ for fire sign heart triads, shadow work means examining your passions and what may fuel them.

♡ for water signs this placement is the most auspicious to remove emotional blocks due to how in touch with your emotions you will be

♡ for air signs the emotional and spiritual energy of this blue moon will allow you to amplify the energy you are using to work through blocks

♡ for earth signs buried negative energy may rise to the surface. now is a good time to clear it out. this can include old relationships.

gut triad

the gut triad reacts by instinct and has a strong connection with the divine masculine. this blue moon you may discover more about where these instincts come from

◇ gut triad fire signs may use this as a time for healing wounds that happened as a result of hasty decisions they made. this full moon indicates a blank slate

◇ water signs may understand not all their emotions are true and that seeing past blockages by thinking before they act is the way to move on from old, negative energies

◇ air signs are flighty and the gut triad reacts by instinct making for a spontaneous combination. this full moon is a time to slow down

◇ earth signs are some of the most grounded and this works well with the gut triad. use this full moon to play to your strengths and center yourself before doing any shadow work.

[naranjodelirado]

The process of “finding” your personality type and how it relates to who you are.

There are many ways to find our personality type. There are professional or “official” tests, there are tests focused on the cognitive functions, we can watch YouTube videos about MBTI in general or about any of the 16 types. We can also read Carl Jung's original theory and we can familiarize ourselves with other ways to type people like socionics or the enneagram. There's more than enough information online to figure out what our personality type is. That's also the reason why it can be so hard for many of us to know what our type actually is, since there are so many aspects of personality to understand and consider.

Obviously, the more we try to find exactly what our type is, the deeper we need to go into the theory of the system (or systems) we are using. It's not enough anymore to just take one or two tests and choose the type we think is most like us. If we keep trying to find our exact type so we can be 100% sure that's the best possible description of our personality, we could actually lose ourselves in the process.

Personality types are more known today (2024) than ever before. Also, younger people have more access to all this information than the previous generations. One negative consequence of this could be that they identify with a certain type too quickly, in the sense that they don't think much about if they really are that type and also in the sense that they are still too young to be any specific type, their personalities are still forming.

When can anyone be sure that their personality is “complete”? At what age can we say that we have lived enough, we have made enough decisions and we have had enough experiences to know that we are this particular way? What about change? What about growth?

Perhaps the reason why some of us can't seem to find our personality type is that we are still figuring out who we want to be. It is possible that we are not so “solid” yet, we are still fluid, flexible. That can also be the reason why we are so attracted to personality types in general. It's easier and more fun to take tests online and study this theories and compare ourselves to famous people or to our favorite characters than to “solidify” who we are in real life, interacting in a more “concrete” or direct way with the world.

Only those who have lived their lives in a specific way for specific reasons for a sufficient amount of time and are also aware of these things can be certain that their personality type is that one and no other. We need to live our lives and know ourselves in order to find our personality type, not viceversa.

We shouldn't worry about what our type might be or if we really are the type we said we were. We should focus on living our lives being true to ourselves, we should focus on making our decisions in the most authentic way we can. If we do that, then with time it will become obvious that we are certain type and we could finally accept it and be sure of it because we know who we are. Maybe the questions in the tests will be easier to answer. Or maybe we won't care anymore about personality “types” and we'll move on to more important things.

There is one last aspect about this whole dynamic of finding your “type” and being yourself I will mention. We can never escape who we are. Even if we are trying to be like someone else, trying to “fit” into a certain description, that also is part of who we are. Even if we don't think about who we are and we live life just by being reactive or impulsive, that's also telling us who we are, what kind of personality we “have”. For example, I'm not sure what my type is, and perhaps any of the 16 types could write something like this, but there are definitely some types for which it would be more likely and some for which we would not consider it most of the time. If we think about most of our decisions and actions in this way, our type will appear.

Finally, it's always easier to type others than to type ourselves. So maybe it's not that we are not ourselves yet, perhaps it's not even that we don't know who we are or we're unaware of it, maybe we just don't want to accept who we are, or at least certain aspects of ourselves.

PSYCHOSOPHY/ATTITUDINAL PSYCHE POST #1: BEST PRACTICES FOR TYPING IN PSYCHOSOPHY AND ATTITUDINAL PSYCHE

Usually, I start each new section with an intro post, but not this time. I'm going after the best practices right away.

These 2 systems are similar enough to each other, I will write about them as one in these posts. Along with the Enneagram, I believe these 2 typing systems can pass the accuracy, reliability, and validity test if we follow these following best practices when we type people/ourselves in PY and AP.

1. Start by figuring out the person's AP type. It's easy to figure out if an AP type is also a Psychotype, so I recommend figuring out the AP type first.

2. Type the person by positions over everything else. Figure out which aspects a person is self positive/self negative, others positive/others negative, and process/result. Then put the aspects in the positions that match your findings. *Then* and only then, do I recommend the use of clubs, sextas, blocks, and the like-to check your positions, and see if they make sense with the person in question. If they do, the person is correctly typed. If not, go back to the positions, and investigate further.

3. Do not *start* with clubs, sextas, blocks, etc. Why? A lot of people can be described outwardly in the same way but still have quite different positions for the aspects. That's why I'm always positions first.

4. If you are having a hard time typing someone, it's because they're a clear extrovert/introvert with an ambivreted type, an ambivert with a clearly extroverted/introverted type, or they're not the PY archetype. In those particular instances, I look for other possible clues to the positions that aren't presenting themselves as typical manifestations of the type . For example, I had a non-archtypical dream person LVFE who didn't like to talk, so I had to determine most of his positions by his actions rather than what he said. Another dream person was a non-archtypical FELV, in that he was not counter culture to his family, and he didn't just blow where the wind took him. Instead, he got along well with his family and simply didn't prioritize volition. Position-wise, even with all those differences from the archetype, he was still 1F, 2E, 3L, and 4V.

5. Psychosophy and Attitudinal Psyche do not correlate at all to the MBTI or Socionics. Attitudinal Psyche does not correlate at all to the Enneagram. Please do not listen to the people on Personality Database who say that they do. There is only a *secondary* correlation between dominant instinctual variant and Psychosophy, and that is the *only* Enneagram correlation at all to either system.

6. Interestingly, there *is* a *direct* correlation between the conscious/unconscious dichotomy in Classic Jungian and the self positive/self negative dichotomy in AP and PY. They both represent the same thing. But I do not recommend using this to aid in your typings unless you are excellent at typing people in Classic Jungian or SOJT. If you are not great at typing people in those systems, I'd just start with the positions and then check your work using blocks, etc, as I mentioned before. (Funny how no one on Personality Database knows this.)

7. Don't trust that Rob Zeke always has the right answer. Some of his typings make no sense at all (like Taylor Swift as FELV-she's *1V* ,not 4V-don't know how you could mix those up), and he second guesses and changes a lot of typings that were correct the first time (like when he changed Eminem's typing from EFLV to ELFV-honestly I think EFLV was a better fit). If a typing on his website or Facebook group doesn't seem right, just go and retype the person on your own. Interestingly , both the examples I used here (Taylor Swift and Eminem) will be typed correctly in upcoming bonus typings in practice.

I hope that these pointers will help you to improve your typing accuracy, reliability and validity in PY and AP, and get you typing people/yourself at a passing rate of 60% or better . See you in the next post

► RELATIONS

FATHER: Harrison Thompson: A very successful and intelligent business man. To the public he’s known as a loving father, passionate, and successful. “Image is everything” as he would always say. Everything needed to be perfect and in its proper place. His cars, home, and appearance were always kept to the highest of standards; at least in public. After a long day of work he was known to come home and drink away his stress, with expensive scotch after expensive scotch. Before long he’d forget about keeping up appearances oe maintaining the perfect life and take out his frustrations on his family. It would always start verbal but it would always escalate from there. Flash became the main focus of this as he reminded him too much of himself, or as he would say, “How can you remind me so much of myself but be such a failure.”

He finally started cutting Flash some slack once he got into MIT, but after being expelled and getting injured he was dead to him.

MOTHER: Rose Thompson: She was a nice enough woman but her marriage slowly wore her down into being a husk of her former self. So much of her time and effort was spent trying to stay on her Husband’s good side that she eventually gave up on trying to defend her son. She would tell him to just shut up and keep his nose down. Tell him to not make his father mad. To listen to his father.

SIBLINGS: Jessica Thompson: Flash’s little sister. She’s nice, sweet, smart, and innocent. She’s about ten years younger than him. She was labeled a miracle child due to fertility issues with their parents. With that title also came favoritism. She was the perfect child to their parents, and was treated substantially better by their father. Always being praised for being pretty, smart, and talented. He didn’t resent her for it, but he’d be lying if he said seeing it didn’t hurt. She’s the one he misses the most since he’s been estranged.

EXTENDED FAMILY: Not close to anyone in particular

BEST FRIEND: He’s never really had a best friend. He’s always been on the more popular time but his personality is ultimately for show. He needs to be perceived. He needs people to find value in him, see him as worthy in ways that his father never would. This has resulted in most of his friends only getting to know this shallow facade of who he is which has kept anyone from feeling close enough to become a true best friend to him.

ADVERSARY: Either his Dad or if we add Jack O Lantern to the plot him

PARTNER(S): No significant romantic partners, and none current

— BIOGRAPHY . THE WEALTHY CIRCLES OF SHANGHAI HAVE A PARTICULAR WAY OF DEEMING YOU A MISTAKE WITHOUT OUTRIGHT SAYING SO. The only daughter of one of the wealthiest business couples in the country, the path of LIENA CHEN was paved long before she was born. Diverting from this path meant being subjected to the utmost criticism and scrutiny— an experience your mother is subjected to tenfold. (your sympathy for her begins with this knowledge and ends with your abandonment— she is undeserving of the cards she was dealt, but so are you.) 

Your mother relinquishes all responsibility of you the moment you’re handed over to the elite NYC boarding schools you’d attend for the remainder of your youth. There, you are prepped alongside other kids of the elite, molding yourselves in the image of your varying responsibilities. At first, you pursue perfection in hopes of garnering your mother’s attention. Not a mark is missed— every classes is attended on time. Invitations to events go unanswered (or even more humiliatingly, an assistant is sent in her place.)

Other methods are tested out in hopes of garnering her attention. You attempt the reverse method, A.K.A. failing horrifically, but this only results in in newfound scrutiny from your instructors, fellow students, and headmasters. A drop in performance is wholly unlike you. You are restored to your former glory— deciding that attempting to attract your mother’s attention is a futile effort. (and don’t even get you started about that glorified sperm donor called a father— to you, he is nothing— vying for his attention would be beneath you.)

You chose instead to shape yourself into a weapon. You focus on expanding your arsenal of languages, diversifying your studies to become as worldly as possible, and eventually graduating at the top of your class. It’s around this time that you discover what your mother’s true job is. You learn that she’s essentially tossed you to the wayside in favor of some of the most unsavory characters to walk the streets of New York. Beyond that, your mother’s reshaped herself in light of the empire she now possesses— and with little intention of sharing the newfound glory she’s obtained. The pair of you could’ve been unstoppable. A mother and her heir. Instead, she leaves you in the dark, perhaps out of some false belief that she can protect you from the mob.

Never mind that, though. The moment she  accepts the position of JADE TRIBE BOSS, the mafia becomes your legacy. If she would deny you your birthright, you’d reclaim it as your own. You pursue a degree in business administration, earning a Masters from Dartmouth in Business Administration. When you’re able to obtain possession of the family business, OLIVE BRANCH MARTINI BAR, it transforms into a front for information brokering for various parties across the city— the sort of information that could get you killed— or worse. The front still remains functionally a bar, but if you’re well connected enough, you’re able to access behind the scenes privileges. Expensive drinks alongside priceless information. 

It is during one of these moments that DEAD HAND is put on your radar. After gaining a position as an associate, you have an idea to turn it into something more. Years of hard work and you eventually work your way up to CONSIGLIERE. You advise the boss on important matters concerning the mob— and allow DEAD HAND unfettered access to your channels of information. You would do everything in your power to build them up, for when the time came— you would need every ounce of power in order to send your mother’s empire toppling down. No more pretending as if you’re merely a blight on her existence— you would make your presence known and felt more than ever. 

— FUN FACTS .

Takes her coffee black, occasionally with a splash of whiskey. Looks down upon people who use milk and sugar— she assumes them to be weak-willed.

Prioritizes revenge-seeking above all else... usually. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't occasionally distracted by work or personal dalliances.

— ; TLDR

ambitious, mommy-issued, revenge-seeking consigliere with a no-bullshit attitude

Acolyte [Arcana] Info Page

Name: Acolyte

Age: 16 (38)

Gender: Female She/Her

Species: Humanoid

Universe: UTAU

Personality: Introspective, Pessimistic, Apathetic, Kind

History: Following up from Angeli's story, Acolyte was created once the former accidentally got trapped in the void of another pocket multiverse, meeting with a strange someone to bring her out. The only catch was that she had to give up her current abilities in exchange for new ones. She took the offer and Acolyte was formed, now with the ability of absorption. She later met some of the other guardians of the pocket multiverse, soon getting into two adventures that ultimately led to the creation of Amaia and Estelle, two other members of the Main 6 besides her.

Hobbies: Reading, Writing

Powers: Absorption

Some abilities replicated include paint magic, code strings, tentacles, energy arrows, teleportation, healing, telepathy, telekinesis, manipulation

Feats: Has stopped wars before they broke out, fixed the multiverse on occasions, sacrificed themselves to restore the world and was reborn as Amaia, saved the world after that yet again, has made contributions to help out sides but hasn't participated in them.

Orientation: Aro/Ace

MBTI: INTP

Enneagram: 2

Zodiac: Gemini

Height: 5'10''

Favorite Food/Drink: Parmesan Chicken and Caramel Coffee

Worlds Visited: 1,986,542 (excluding Angeli's total)

Alternates Count: 126

Some Noteworthy ones include Amaia(Reincarnated), Estelle (Negativity), Nova (Positivity), Allia (Underswap), Amethyst (Abysstale), Light (Dreamswap), Palette (XTale), Eclipse (Lunar Republic)

Acolyte is the most emotionally closed off compared to the rest of the Main 6

Acolyte has around 2000 different abilities, but she normally uses five at a time on average. Other abilities that were replicated just made the exact same ones from before more advanced

Acolyte did a very dangerous test to see if she was still immortal, with a save star on standby in case she didn't survive it. She did it in the most gruesome way she could since she had researched beforehand the fastest way to kill someone. According to her research, slitting the throat and cutting off oxygen was her best bet, so she did that. She did survive though.

Acolyte did sacrifice herself to save the pocket multiverse she was now a part of, which destabilized her magic in the process and it had killed her the moment the magic tried to retract.

That's how Amaia was formed

Acolyte's soul type is Guidance (Kindness and Integrity)

Acolyte's favorite form of music is Vocaloid, her favorite songs in question (usually in English) are "Lost One's Weeping (Revenge Version)", "Error (Piano Cover)", "Yellow", and "Dramaturgy". 

Acolyte is the least invested in the Main 6, often going on her own to deal with issues herself. Sometimes during these times she runs into Star doing the exact same thing

Despite being similar in motivation and somewhat personality wise, they're more like rivals than actual friends.

Acolyte seems to have more in common with the Bad Sanses rather than the Stars, but it's more in line with her way of thinking and doing things

Acolyte's favorite AU is Dreamtale

Acolyte can sometimes hallucinate whenever she's alone in the Anti-Void. The strings on the ceiling often appear like either ropes or snakes, depending on what mood she feels at that moment in time. 

Acolyte has the most self control over herself, with the cost of it being able to express herself freely and healthily. This often leads to emotional outbursts for the simplest of things.

Acolyte has two hanging crystals pinned into her braid. They're actually emotional and magical regulators. Whenever she needs to go all out, she'd break the cyan crystal. Then request Star to make a new one because she can't keep doing that and exhausting herself!

(freida pinto. cis woman. she / her.) ⸺ 🦬 greetings, buffalos ! walking around campus, sporting her hair in a braid with flowers weaved in it, we’ve spotted ANUSHKA “ANU” RAI, a thirty - seven years old who contributes to our thriving community as a PHARMACIST / CHEMIST. according to our intel, she’s been around the sanctuary for a year and what we know about her, aside from the fact that she doesn’t agree with the decision to close the gates, is that she carries the weight of being the protective older sister of her 5 siblings and constantly feels like she’s not done enough to protect them, she’s a city girl at heart and misses her old life dearly ⎯ even that shitty apartment that grew mould and had leaky taps but this was her life now and there was no use dwelling in the past, and despite everything, she still remains optimistic for the future, though she’s not sure if it’s truly how she feels or if she’s just so used to pretending like everything will be alright that she doesn’t know how to not pretend anymore. doesn’t that make her fantastic ? we think it does, and that’s why we appreciate her so much, grateful for what she gives to our community.

bio

// TW: allusions to child neglect, mentions of death and grief //

you're the eldest daughter first, your own person second. it's been your identity since you were three years old, before you had really known anything else. the years that you were an only child are years that you cannot remember, but it doesn't matter because they're irrelevant. you can't remember the first time your mom told you were going to be a big sister but the photos show that you wear that title on your chest with honour. but with age, you slowly begin to resent the title, the responsibility that your parents have put on you. you love your siblings and would do anything for them, but you're just a kid too, not a surrogate parent.

being eldest meant you were overlooked, always the good child that no one had to worry about but that was because you had no choice. the supervisor couldn't be irresponsible now. but god, you wished someone would worry about you, that you could hang that title just for a little while and be a normal teenager for once instead of picking your siblings up from school and fixing their after school snack. the worst of it all was having to see your parents be the parents you wished you had to your younger siblings. you were the test subject, the one that they could afford to mess up on, but in their eyes, you were perfect so they must have done something right.

so in an attempt to rebel, you apply to the colleges furthest away from home just so you can get away. you love your family, but it's time to find out who you are outside of these four walls, outside of your family home. you don't want to be eldest sibling first, you want to be anu first, eldest sister second. but you can't bring yourself to do it when your youngest sibling is looking at you with their sad eyes and you stay. but you have to rip that band aid off sooner or later and apply for graduate school in nyc. it's only there that you realise that maybe you like being the eldest sister when it's something you can choose to be. maybe you were born with a maternal instinct and warm, comforting hands. you find your siblings in reuven's kids, making up for all the times you dismissed your siblings, making up for lost time, and in some way, healing your own childhood. you miss them, but at the same time, you think for the best.

that's until the outbreak and her first instinct to go back home, protect your family but by the time you get there it's probably too late. she had three children here that she had to protect now. in the end, you failed them. and failing them, served as a reminder how you had failed your siblings. how they ⎯ your siblings and reuven's kids ⎯ had looked at you as their caregiver, their protector but you couldn't even do the one job you were given. if you weren't the eldest sister, then what were you anymore?

grief destroyed you, destroyed you both to the point of no return and you left on a mission to find your family. your purpose had been destroyed and you needed hope to hold onto otherwise you'd collapse; that hope was believing at least one of your family members was still alive. it's a shot in the dark, especially since they could be anywhere but it's something you're willing to die trying. it takes years but you find one of your siblings. you realise you've missed so much, that you're sorry that they had to deal with losing your family by themselves. but you have a purpose again, an identity, and you spend it trying to shield them from the horrors that they've already experienced, tell them that you believe there's a cure out there. you never let them see that you're scared or worried for the future. only smiles and promises to safety. you're gotten so good at lying about the cure and stability of the future that you're not sure what you think anymore. it's second nature to you and before you know it the words come out.

your second wind of hope comes in the form of colorado university where you hear talks of a sanctuary. you no longer have to force yourself to lie to your sibling about safety when you believe you're safe. you still can't figure out whether you believe there's a cure out there or not, despite spending your time at the sanctuary researching the virus. in the end, you always come to the same conclusion, you have to believe in it because then what is all this for?

tdlr: a traumatised eldest sibling, carrying the weight and guilt of not being able to protect her siblings from the virus, who has made it her purpose to try to find/create a cure for the virus, even though some days she doesn't believe it exists, because she needs some hope to live for
