What is perseverance?
Perseverance is about being willing to bend, but not to break. It's the push to keep moving forward even when the destination seems unreachable; and it's about accepting all the pain that comes along with doing so.
The most famous example of Perseverance is that of The Tortoise and the Hare: while the latter overestimated its talent and rested on its laurels, the former didn't let the overwhelming disadvantage discourage it. In the end, it's the one who persevered that won.
The shadow of one's soul
An unhealthy Perseverance is usually unwilling to let things end. It can be close-minded and insistent, often hurting everyone involved in the process: the Persevering are the most susceptible to the sunk cost fallacy.
It can also build up a quiet resentment toward those it's been enduring for, as an unhealthy Perseverance often doesn't say things until it's too late.
Often confused with determination
DETERMINATION and PERSEVERANCE are often confused for one another, but the difference lies in where the energy points.
While DETERMINATION refuses every ending except the one it chose, PERSEVERANCE will look for different ways to achieve at least one of the results it was aiming for.
Of course, that doesn't mean one can't take from the other. Being so similar in behavior, the Determined and the Persevering often find each other to be fascinating: the former admires the endurance and planning skills of the latter, who in turn admires the Determined's desire for success.
Your secondary virtue
Your second-strongest virtue is KINDNESS, at 84%.
Thanks to KINDNESS' drive to help those in need, the kind Persevering will make sure to see any task taken on for the sake of someone else through to the end.
While this may be admirable, the tendency to do it for other people more than for themselves may prove negative for the kind Persevering in the long term.
Your lowest virtue is determination (25%). Of course, no one can be perfect at everything.
I can buy five times my body weight in steel and have it brought to me with like...no effort on my part. I can get shit to restore the books in the castle's library, a problem that Link has been working on for ages, and make sure it's shit that will FUNCTION at home, a place where powering electronics isn't exactly a thing we can do just anywhere. Much less ones powered by....whatever the fuck gets shuffled along through those wires in the walls.
I can buy more wool than I will ever realistically use within a normal Sheikah lifespan, seeds for foods that we don't have at home, rare metals and stones...
Dragged a couple friends out for food, now that Jill's back and was given the green light by the medical team. Chris tried to bet that I couldn't eat a whole cake. Easiest bet I've ever won that didn't involve murder, to my memory.
Jill asked if I was okay and I told her 'if you punch me in the stomach I'm pretty sure I'll dispense frosting like a shaving cream can' and Chris goes 'so yeah he's fine.'
Yup, I'm good. Just don't touch me for a few hours. Or make me laugh.

He's dead now, by the way. It was fantastic fun to finally maul his stupid ass properly. Think it's funny how he spent so long talking, only to devolve into screaming incoherently in anger when he realized Chris fucked off and left his ass to the most overpowered motherfucker in the world.
He still tried some monologue bullshit once the fucking thing crashed, but I made that physically painful for him to do for long. Literally and metaphorically, I had great teachers on how to be an obnoxious piece of shit with a bad sense of humor to the people who I am fighting against. 'Survival of the fittest' does not mean what you thought it means, Sunshine.
Moral of the story: don't fuck around if you don't wanna find out, I will help you and it will be a very difficult lesson.
And no I am not posting video of his death, I am not getting my ass banned from this thing to show that off.
[An edited video is posted where Albert Wesker is fighting with the one recording via an eye camera. The one recording is carefully avoiding his attacks, just barely, while Wesker monologues about things like 'superior genes' and 'uroburos,' and generally acts like a prick. It's obvious it's just the two of them in the hangar, and that Wesker seems to have the upper hand. At least until the one recording catches him with an injector. Wesker decides then that he's going to escape into his jet, attempting to take off, but the point of view suddenly changes from the hangar into the jet's cargo section a few feet from where Wesker is now standing, accompanied by the same spell tags and smoke that one would see with a Yiga's teleport spell, complete with infuriatingly obnoxious laughter. The view zooms in on Wesker's face as he suddenly realizes that they are not the person he thought they were. The exact moment of realization is rewound and slowed down, eventually paused on a frame where he is switching between shocked and furious expressions. A voice (Quin's) can be heard, asking 'do you think he's mad at me?']
