ISFP 9w1 Characters
Wylan makes choices that feel right to him, including risking his own life to help Jesper and the Crows even when it’s dangerous. He dislikes his father based on personal grounds, because he sees his actions as wrong. He shows immediate discomfort with cruelty or exploitation. Wylan left Jesper after their one night stand, because he assumed given Jesper’s reputation for sleeping around and moving on, that he was also going to leave Wylan, so Wylan beat him to it to protect his own emotions from being hurt. He misread the emotions of the situation, and is also socially awkward, in that he knows his friends have feelings but not necessarily what they may be. He is super passionate about his own interests.
As a sensing type, Wylan has a gift for figuring out how to invent new things – explosives, mainly, because he is a hands-on-learner who confidently experiments to find shortcuts, substitutes, and additions, to change their chemical balance to support whatever he wants to do. He’s also quick to notice solutions in his environment, such as when he finds out his friends have been poisoned by the same flowers growing outside the greenhouse, he reasons that the beautiful butterflies are able to eat them without dying, so they may possess the anecdote. He’s able to remember facts, details, and long passages of books he has read. He very much focuses on what works in practice, which makes him a natural with explosives.
Sometimes, Wylan offers insight into a situation or suggest what might be going on behind the scenes, but he does not show strong intuition most of the time. And he was wrong in his intuitive interpretation of how Jesper felt about him, reading it on a surface level (we had sex, he does this, and then he leaves people, so why would I be any different?) rather than seeking anything deeper.
In situations where he has to improvise beyond what is natural for him, Wylan feels overwhelmed, anxious, and unsure of himself. He would rather let his friends take charge, and he has to gain confidence in his skill set over time and by proving himself invaluable and useful to Jesper’s friends.
Enneagram: 9w1
Wylan is a precious cinnamon roll who must be protected, because he’s so sweet, unassuming, and gentle. He avoids upsetting anyone, and doesn’t want to meet them in the eye if he senses their disapproval. It disturbs him to think of confronting a situation head on, without a plan, and he rather sweetly and deferentially treats those around him kindness. The irony is, he loves to build bombs and make things explode, and isn’t above violence, but he also gently coaxes Jesper not to conceal his true nature, to admit to his magical powers (which Wylan figures out, ahead of anyone else). He left Jesper to avoid a scene or an uncomfortable farewell. Under stress, he shows a few 6ish traits, such as wanting to stick together, and being apprehensive about new and dangerous situations. He tends to stick with the group for protection. Wylan rarely seems angry, which implies he suppresses negative emotions, and he’s rather afraid to take up space with other people—as is seen whenever he apologizes for getting exited or talking about something for too long.
