She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Entrapta - Type 5w6
Entrapta is inventive, intelligent and curious. Entrapta loves to find out knowledge about the world and invent new things using her intellect.
At her best, Entrapta is kind to everyone she meets and genuinely wants to form friendships. She is optimistic and has a positive outlook on life moving on from setbacks quickly.
At her worst, Entrapta is lonely and easily manipulated. She has trouble processing social situations and other’s feelings, so she can be easily misled. For example, Catra convinced her that the Rebellion betrayed her which led to her joining the Horde.
Entrapta loves to learn and work with technology. She is constantly experimenting and trying to learn about the universe. Entrapta is shown that she cares about her research greatly and is very dedicated to it. Sometimes, this led her to make morally questionable decisions. For example, Entrapta was very interested in learning about the other worlds and portals so she was helping Hordak with his portal, even though she knew it was dangerous. It was only when she realised it would destroy the world that she wanted to stop.
Entrapta was never intimidated by anything, including Hordak. When she first meets Hordak she is more concerned with his technology and his plans for creating a portal than fearing him. Entrapta is very logical and understands that sometimes your experiments need to fail. She initially conflicted with Hordak on this view as he wanted to discard his failed experiments straight away. Entrapta is convinced that she herself is a failure, but believes it to be a good thing as failure is another way to learn. She believes that imperfections are necessary and tells Hordak his imperfections are beautiful to reassure him.
While Entrapta comes across as emotionally detached and unaware of social norms, she actually cares deeply for the other princesses. She wishes that she could be friends with them. We later learn that she is so concerned with tech because she thinks that if she uses her tech skills she can be useful and people will like her. Entrapta longs for companionship and is actually quite lonely. She finds this with Hordak and tries to search for him on Horde Prime’s ship. Hordak is the first person Entrapta feels a sincere connection with and she values him deeply.
I think Entrapta has quite balanced wings, but leans more towards a 6 wing as she craves to form relationships with others. She also shows her wing 6 as she is more inclined to technical sciences, whereas 5w4s are more abstract and philosophical.
Tri-type: 5w6 - 2w1 - 9w8
Some quotes to describe Entrapta’s motivations
"Imperfection is what makes scientific experimentation possible! Imperfection is beautiful... at least to me."
“Fascinating, my roots seem to be responding to the code. This is remarkable. Could this be my biggest step yet in making ancient and modern technology truly compatible?”
“It's really fascinating. I've been experimenting with a disc that was recovered from a mine in Dryl. It was a game-changer. It held more complete First One's code than anything I've ever seen before. But it seems to have reacted with the First Ones tech that powers my bots. It infected them with some sort of a virus.”
“Destroy it? But the experiment isn't complete!“
“Different groups are forced to mingle. Hierarchies form and break. It's the perfect place to observe behavior. And they have tiny food! Where's Bow? I wanna show him my new recorder.”
“This is the best social experiment I've ever been to!”
“Of course I'm ok! Have you seen this place? An Island, full of technological monstrosities, each more deadly than the next? Its paradise!”
“This place.. It's pure information. Everything I've ever dreamed of knowing about the planet, it's all here. So I'm staying.”
“Everything back there with the princesses and then... with Hordak.. was so.. confusing. I just wasn't suited for friendship. I belong here.”
