Amanda. 24. ISFJ. 4w5. Gryffindor. Narnian. Nature-Lover. People-Person. Spitfire. Smart. Brave. Compassionate. Fun. Incurable Romantic. Currently spending my days cleaning the house, socializing and trying to get a job.
Girls, romanticize yourselves. You are a queen. You are a warrior. You are an enchantress. You are a mermaid. You are a goddess. You are all of these things and more, you are the stuff of fairytales.
Women, traumatize others. You are a dragon. You are a wolf. You are a bump in the night. You are the last thing they see in the darkness. You are all of these things and more, you are the heart of their fucking nightmares.
Introverted Sensing (Si): Asami is strongly loyal to the people close to her. However, if betrayed, she doesn’t forgive easily. It takes her years to talk to her father again, because it is too painful for her. She learns from her mistakes, and she never trusts Varrick again after he tried to sabotage her business. Her experiences shape her beliefs. Her father’s betrayal forced her to reevaluate her life, but ultimately she didn’t change much. She remained faithful to Future Industries and to Republic City, and she shifted her loyalty for her family to her friends. She is naturally engaged in the physical world, shown by her skill with mechanics, love of fast vehicles, and appreciation of style.
Extroverted Feeling (Fe): Asami is naturally adept at reading people and navigating social situations. She is usually polite and generous. She is a very caring friend, always willing to help her friends and be there for them. Talking about her feelings helps her understand them and feel better. However, when she is upset she usually tries to hide her feelings, often out of politeness or concern for others, but eventually it boils over.
Introverted Thinking (Ti): Asami is an inventor who understands how mechanical things work. She applies this to concepts as well, to figure out how they work. She politely asks questions and is curious. She notices illogical inconsistencies and doesn’t like it when things don’t make sense.
Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Her Ne shows up in a healthy way in her inventiveness. She comes up with new ideas (Ne) and figures out how to make them work (Ti). She was responsible for rebuilding Republic City and designing the Spirit Wilds, which shows an ability to see the possibilities, what the world could be. On the other hand, her inferior Ne is often cautious and reluctant to change. She can be stubborn and close-minded when presented with ideas that contradict her held, personal beliefs.
Introverted Sensing (Si): Bagheera bases his interactions with Mowgli and Sher Khan on former knowledge of them both – his distrust of the tiger stems from what he knows of Sher’s past; his guidance of Mowgli originates in his role in the boy’s life (“I know [he’s special]; I raised him.” Bagheera respects the “jungle law” and tries to convince Mowgli at first to adhere to it, to become more like an animal than a man. But once he sees how Mowgli’s innovations are useful, Bagheera changes his mind, encouraging the boy to use his skills for the betterment of the jungle animals.
Extroverted Thinking (Te): Many of his decisions are rationally-motivated, rather than being born of sentiment; Bagheera is not afraid to do what is hard, to do what is right, particularly when it will save Mowgli’s life. His commands are not suggestions; they are orders. Following them keeps Mowgli alive. Bagheera is appreciative of the ways of the jungle, and respects their laws. He is willing to live by them, and enforce them when necessary. He puts aside emotions to keep others safe (not wanting to tell Mowgli the truth about what Shere Khan is doing to the wolf pack, knowing Mowgli will return and be killed).
Introverted Feeling (Fi): Though not forthcoming about his feelings, Bagheera loves Mowgli; he risks his own life multiple times to save the “man-cub.” He comes to respect Mowgli’s individuality and, once convinced it is not harmful, encourages him to be unique and pursue his creative talents. Bagheera initially shows some prejudice toward the bear, but does come to a point where he can offer affirmation and encouragement to his friend – which forms into grudging compatibility.
Extroverted Intuition (Ne): His uncertainty about how things may play out in the future makes Bagheera careful, practical, and dutiful… but against all odds, for whatever reason, when finding Mowgli as a child in the jungle, Bagheera defied animal convention and took care of him, leaving him with the wolf pack to protect him. He gradually opens up to new ways of doing things, once he sees how Mowgli can save lives through his inventions.
“All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel. There’s escaping from the wolves, fighting the wolves, capturing the wolves, taming the wolves. Being thrown to the wolves, or throwing others to the wolves so the wolves will eat them instead of you. Running with the wolf pack. Turning into a wolf. Best of all, turning into the head wolf. No other decent stories exist.” | insp.
“thank you so much for deciding the rest of my narrow little life for me” is everything you need to know about milah and why she needs to be defended—this is a person who has lost all her agency, who was claustrophobic in her own family, who was a complicated woman who fought back in the only way she knew how
