ESFP 6w7 Characters
America has been running through alternate universes her entire life, adapting to them easily and finding out what they contain. She’s very hands-on in that she quickly saves Strange from being hit by a car (“first rule of alternate universes: trust nothing”), then steals food and is surprised when it’s not free (because it’s free in most universes). She leaves most of the problem-solving to Strange, but is happy to help him navigate an unknown world. Upon seeing the memory café, she immediately tries it out to relive her best memory—which then turns into her worst, where her fear of a bee opens up a portal and sucks her parents into it. ESFPs live so much in the present moment and in their feelings, they don’t really think about how to solve their problems if their problem involves intuition or figuring out how something works. She has simply been using her powers and assuming she has no way of controlling them; and it doesn’t become apparent to her she can open doorways if she wants to until Strange tells her she can control it. This shows the limitation of her thinking process—she just assumes she can’t hack her powers and make them work for her, by fixating on the fact that she seems to have no ability to use them unless she’s afraid. America has to learn to channel that power into confidence and self-determination, and then she is powerful.
Enneagram: 6w7
Fear rules America; it’s fear that caused her to open her first portal, fear that won’t let her experiment or enjoy these other worlds because she’s wracked with guilt, shame, and horror at the thought that she sent her moms somewhere she can never find them. When she winds up in Strange’s world, she’s at first fearful of him—but then clings to him as a source of protection, as she appeared to do in the other universe. She has a pattern of trusting people to protect her, then being betrayed by them. 6w7s do not think they are strong enough to do things themselves; they are hesitant about being alone, and so latch onto other people as guidance in an uncertain world. She makes Strange into a mentor-figure, but is also worried that he’s going to betray her “like the other one did,” and surprised when he doesn’t. It doesn’t occur to her she’s powerful on her own until he tells her she is, and then she learns to control her powers. It’s a metaphorical move from a 6 denying themselves authority to confidently asserting it. America has a wry sense of humor and is up for an adventure; she appears to enjoy the worlds she falls through and isn’t above engaging with them, as a healthy 7 wing.
