Orphan Black: Cosima Niehaus - Type 5w4
Cosima is inquisitive, intelligent, helpful and chill. Cosima is very curious about how the world works and has a real passion for science.
At her best, Cosima becomes more decisive and confident in herself (integrating to 8). She also becomes more open to other people, as we see with her relationships with her sisters and Delphine.
At her worst, Cosima has a tendency to withdraw from others when she is stressed. For example, she becomes distant from Delphine when she becomes the new head of Dyad. Cosima can also become a bit flighty and take on too much (disintegrating to 7).
Cosima is very interested in finding out about the clones and how it all works. As she starts to suffer from her sickness, she becomes very focused on figuring out a cure for herself and her sisters. With the help of Scott and Delphine, Cosima makes great strides in her research. For example, Cosima is the one who has the idea of creating stem cells with LEDA and CASTOR DNA.
Many of the Neolutionists are fascinated with Cosima as she is very intelligent and scientifically minded. For example, Susan Duncan immediately takes a liking to Cosima and wishes Rachel was more like her. They also want to use Cosima’s knowledge and intellect, to further their own ambitions. Cosima also has a bit of a curiosity about Neolution, as we see with her interest in Leekie’s lecture.
Cosima’s relationship with Delphine helps her become more open to new experiences. Delphine is very supportive and helps Cosima in all of her research. Delphine also puts Cosima first and most of what she does is for Cosima and the other sisters’ safety. Cosima is very loyal and dependable in her relationship with Delphine.
Cosima has a strong wing 4 as she is very individualistic, unique and romantic.
Tri-type: 5w4 - 4w5 - 9w1
