ESTP 8w7 Characters

Emily is a highly proactive woman who keeps on the move. She burned down her parents’ house after they beat up on her and her sister, then split with her sister, where she carved out her own life in New York posing nude for and sleeping with an aspiring model. She stole that painting on her way out the door, found a rich up and coming writer, and immediately seduced him into giving her the affluent lifestyle she wanted. Within this story itself, she asks Emily to take care of her son, then disappears… we find out later she drowned her sister rather than give in to her blackmail, then impulsively staged her own death using the corpse, and hoped to collect the insurance money before reuniting with her husband and child. But her jealousy over Emily moving onto her turf and into her house makes her incapable of not taunting her, thereby allowing people to know she is actually alive. She is very logical, amoral, and highly driven, but also charming when she wants to be, and she intends to frame Stephanie for her crimes and walk away without going to jail. She is mostly based on doing what feels good to her in the moment, rather than having a long term plan other than hoping to collect the insurance and run away with her family.

Enneagram: 8w7

Emily tells Stephanie that people who apologize all the time are wimps who let others grind them down, so stop it. She is fierce, confrontational, and unapologetic about what she wants; when she sees an expensive ring in her future husband’s family, she just steals it and then shows it to her husband, and when he says they will give it back, she refuses and asks him to pick between her or his grandmother—and her grandmother can’t give him amazing sex like she can. Emily tells Stephanie to just take what she wants, and if she gives people any ground, they will eff you in the face, so you have to assert a confident boundary first. She is negative upfront, complaining to a woman she just met about their massive debts, her husband’s spending problems, etc. Emily is frank and abrasive, and people laugh when Stephanie says that they are friends, because no one can imagine a ball-buster businesswoman who tells her boss to f-off for the weekend would befriend a kitchen wife. Emily wants to know Stephanie’s most horrible secret, accurately guesses what it is, and then uses that to blackmail her later down the road. She laughs at the idea that any of them can pull one over on her, and happily tries to shoot her best friend. After being run over by a car, Emily still tries to get up and leave, and at the end, we find out she has adjusted to prison life “very well” because she is so assertive and self-confident.
