A1: What of the Meyers-Briggs personality types they most fit into? INFP, ENFT, et cetera…
ENFJ – The Protagonist
ENFJs are natural-born leaders, full of passion and charisma. Forming around two percent of the population, they are oftentimes our politicians, our coaches and our teachers, reaching out and inspiring others to achieve and to do good in the world. With a natural confidence that begets influence, ENFJs take a great deal of pride and joy in guiding others to work together to improve themselves and their community.
People are drawn to strong personalities, and ENFJs radiate authenticity, concern and altruism, unafraid to stand up and speak when they feel something needs to be said. They find it natural and easy to communicate with others, especially in person, and their Intuitive (N) trait helps people with the ENFJ personality type to reach every mind, be it through facts and logic or raw emotion. ENFJs easily see people’s motivations and seemingly disconnected events, and are able to bring these ideas together and communicate them as a common goal with an eloquence that is nothing short of mesmerizing.
The interest ENFJs have in others is genuine, almost to a fault – when they believe in someone, they can become too involved in the other person’s problems, place too much trust in them. Luckily, this trust tends to be a self-fulfilling prophecy, as ENFJs’ altruism and authenticity inspire those they care about to become better themselves. But if they aren’t careful, they can overextend their optimism, sometimes pushing others further than they’re ready or willing to go.
A3: Do they have any emotional or psychological conditions? Are they aware of it? Do they try to treat it?
Katerína is able-bodied and neurotypical. That she feels fortunate regarding physical and mental health (as well as other in other areas) is part of the reason she feels compelled to help others. While those she helps are amazing people who could very likely accomplish a lot on their own, many of them were simply dealt a worse hand.
A4: Are they a pessimist or an optimist?
She is mostly an optimist. She believes that almost all people are capable of doing good, and most of them wish to do good. When good people do bad things, it is often a result of outside factors (such as poverty or mistreatment). She believes that by helping and inspiring others she can help to make a better world for everybody.
B2: Do they get frustrated when lines at places like pharmacies, check-outs, delis, banks, et cetera, are moving slowly?
She can usually occupy herself talking to the others in the line, or if nobody wants to talk then she can use her cell phone to talk to somebody. She is generally a patient individual. She understands that it’s typically not the fault of the employees and sometimes not even the fault of the management (such as when there is a higher than usual number of customers for the time of day and thus not enough employees to expedite the process).
B7: How do they respond to babies crying in public?
If she is alone she might use headphones to listen to music and drown out the noise. If she is talking to somebody and the conversation can be taken elsewhere, she might suggest that if there’s no clear sign that the baby will quiet down quickly.
B16: Does your OC like to be the center of attention or more in the mix?
She is okay with either. She does not sweat it when all the eyes in the room are on her, nor does she need attention all the time.
C1: Does your OC have a moral code? If not, how do they base their actions? If so, where does it come from, and how seriously do they take it?
Her form of morality fairly closely resembles Kant’s categorical imperative:
Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law.
In other words, she tries to always act in a way that could be consistently seen as good. She avoids lying, tries to help and to not harm others, etc.
The downside to this is that sometimes she will, for instance, be kinder to some people than they might deserve or tell the truth when the person would rather hear a lie.
C2: Would your OC feel bad if they acted against their morals? If not, would they find a way to excuse themselves for it?
She would. She can be very hard on herself when she does something that she feels she should not have done. She will very rarely excuse poor behaviour, of others or of herself.
D4: Would they like to be immortal? Why, why not? If they are immortal, would they rather not be?
Her belief is that upon her death she will join Freyja in Fólkvangr. She would not wish to live an immortal life on Earth, because to die and join the gods is a great honour.
E2: Which of the nine types of intelligence is your OC strongest in? Weakest? (Linguistic, existential, naturalist, et cetera)
She is strongest in Interpersonal and Naturalistic knowledge and weakest in Logical-Mathematical knowledge.
E3: How many languages do they speak?
Three. Icelandic is her native language, although she speaks more English as a result of her time online and her time traveling. She also speaks a fair amount of Danish as a tertiary language. She would like to learn more down the line.
F1: What sort of home do they live in now, if at all? How did they end up there?
After she finished her schooling, she set up a small house (basically a shack) on a patch of fertile land a few miles away from the closest major city. Thanks to the low cost of land in the area and the basic income level that citizens receive, as well as her ability to live primarily off the land, she is able to maintain this living space without needing to work a job.
F7: What’s their “dream career” or job situation?
She would not particularly want to work a traditional career. She ideally would like to maintain her current way of living for as long as possible.
G2: Who makes up your OC’s family, at least the more important members to them?
She has living parents, but she does not live with them. They live further north in Akureyri, where she grew up and attended schooling. She visits them occasionally. She has no extended family that she is aware of.
G6: Do they have any favorite childhood memories?
While she grew up with her Norse polytheistic religious beliefs, the other spiritual practices were found later through online communities. She still fondly remembers when she first found them, and her first spells and rituals. Many of the friends from that time are still her friends now.
H1: What is your OC’s orientation, romantic and/or sexual? Has it ever been a source of stress for them? Have they always been pretty sure of their orientation?
She is homoromantic and homosexual. In the time/setting of Overwatch (at least as I imagine it), people are more open with sexuality and are less heteronormative; thus, she never went through the ‘I just assume I’m straight’ phase that many people go through, and her sexuality was never much of an issue.
H4: Does your OC believe in love in first sight?
She is a huge hopeless romantic type and is quick to think that infatuations are soulmates. Even after past experiences where she’s been burned or where the passion eventually faded, she hasn’t learned any lessons. She thinks love at first sight is real, but she also thinks every crush she has is the one.
I1: What are their favorite kinds of flavors– Sweet, salty, sour, spicy, creamy, et cetera?
There are foods she likes of all five basic tastes (e.g. spicy peppers, sour citrus fruits, savory tomatoes, bitter grapefruit), but especially sweet things. Strawberries are particularly special as they are a fruit associated with Freyja, but she also loves blueberries, raspberries, etc.
J6: How do they react to people whose political viewpoints are very opposite of theirs?
If someone disagrees with her but their stance is one that does not hurt others, she will respect their opinion and will often take their thoughts into consideration and reevaluate her own stance.
If someone’s stance is one that actively hurts other people, she will oppose them.
L3: Did you create the character to be like yourself, did they end up being like yourself, or are they very different from you?
There are things about her that we have in common, which was mostly in an attempt to make a character that I like and that is fairly easy for me to write. There are some differences, however. For instance, she follows Norse polytheism while I follow Greek polytheism. She is native to Iceland while I was born in America (though I do have Nordic heritage). This gives me reason to learn more than I previously did about these beliefs and cultures.
L9: How did you come up with your OC?
I sat down and said I wanted to “make an SJW Witch for the OvW universe” and then I did that. I spent a few hours reading on various topics and making decisions for the design of the character. It’s possible I’ll make changes to things in the future, but I like what I came to so far.
