ISFJ 9w1 Characters

Kate doesn’t have much screen time, but seems to place a great deal of emphasis on social propriety and appropriate behavior, and carries certain expectations formed from Si impressions about the role of families. She has never met her uncle until recently, but by the nature of sharing blood with him, has formed certain expectations about his actions that don’t match her real-life experiences. She expects him to look after her and her mother, to be kind to her brother, and to guard their reputations—and is shocked and humiliated when he does the opposite, by using her as bait to entice young men to invest in his financial schemes. She assumed that being related would mean he undertook certain ‘roles’ in her life, and moralizes at him when he does not. She also asks him, “What have I done, that you would humiliate me like this?” As if she thinks that some action of hers has caused him to dislike her so much, he would abandon his responsibilities to her and seek to punish her. In reality, she can’t understand it, and is questioning it, demanding to know WHY this is happening to her, from a place of low Ti seeking to grasp why anyone could be so mean to her, as to put her through humiliation. She is so painfully aware of the inappropriateness of her being seated at a table full of only men that she cannot bear to look any of them in the eye, much less assert herself by telling Lord Hawke that she has no desire to be seduced by him. Instead, she flees rather than endure more of their teasing. She tries polite rebuffs against him later at the opera, and then threatens him with what her brother will do to him, if he does not unhand her. It sours her on her uncle for good, after she has benevolently given him another chance, showing a low Ne’s tendency to give others the benefit of the doubt.

Enneagram: 9w1

Kate is extremely mild-mannered and downright passive, except in situations where her moral virtue is concerned. She is so intimidated at her uncle’s dinner party, she cannot raise her eyes to anyone at the table, due to being the only woman present—but even though it made her uncomfortable to be there, she appeased her uncle and does not walk out until Lord Hawke makes her miserable by shaming her in front of everyone with a callous bet (that she can’t look him in the eye and tell him she doesn’t want him to romance her). She is naïve and wants to think the best of her uncle and trust him, which means she accepts his apology and attends the theater with him a few weeks later, not realizing it is a trap to get her alone with Hawke, who intends to ‘have his way with her.’ She finally confronts her uncle (even though it rattles her and makes her cry later), by telling him off for thinking he can ruin her reputation for his own ends, for not protecting her as he should, and that she will have nothing more to do with him, because what he wants of her is ‘wrong.’
