MBTI Type: ESFJ

Nic’s life is all about loving and serving other people. She spends long hours at work handling difficult patients and doing whatever they ask of her, then stays late and thinks about them when she goes home. She is up front with her emotions as well; she easily tells Conrad what she thinks and feels about him, the same with her sister and her father. She has set ideas of what being a good person looks like, and wants others to conform to them (be selfless, compassionate, and moral). Most of her decisions get made from a humanitarian perspective, and she is good at persuading people to join her in her public crusades, including recruiting a street doctor for their charity clinic. When Bell threatens to pull the funding since it’s costing them too much, she draws attention to it in front of a television crew to draw public awareness and strong-arm him into keeping it going as a charitable outreach. Nic is good at attending to and remembering all the details; she is an exceptional nurse who remembers her patients and diagnoses them based on what she has seen before. She buckles down and attends their daily needs, focusing on the problems right in front of her and practical solutions, like free exams, a street clinic, etc. It’s hard for her to shift away from doing for others long enough to relax. She’s also highly family-centric, and wants to have a normal lifestyle with Conrad. She gives him a second chance after seeing how much he has changed for the better, and maintains most of her relationships “for life.” Her low Ne looks for the best in others and champions them toward better things for their life, but also cautions them to avoid risks that could jeopardize their jobs. Nic often says that she has “good instincts,” but most of her intuitive leaps come from carefully assembling evidence (mountains of it) so she can take down bad doctors, companies, etc. She is detached enough to make hard calls sometimes, but prefers to go about it in a gentle way.

Enneagram: 2w1

Nic says in one episode that she finds it impossible to ask for help from anyone else, and wonders “what is wrong with me!???” But the truth is, she has to “do” for everyone else, or she doesn’t feel good about herself. She goes above and beyond for her patients, takes pride in being there for them, and their primary caregiver. In her free time, she works at free clinics and tries to get people health care who can’t afford treatment in the hospital. She has a beef with her dad for a while, when her sister gets sick with cancer, because of his 7 lifestyle of “always leaving when things get hard,” whereas Nic is willing to stay. She is even willing to give up her kidney to save her sister, who is terminal, and gets mad at her dad when he has second thoughts about it, because her sister might go back to doing drugs and “waste” his kidney. In this, she shows the anger of a 1 wing, since she lectures him, kicks him out of her life, and doesn’t welcome him back until he does “the right thing.” She warns Mina not to treat people in her flat, and steal medicine from the hospital, because it could get her disbarred. She also broke up with Conrad for a while, because she didn’t like his “unhinged” 8 behavior (starting fights, getting into trouble, breaking the rules, torturing a man for information), etc. but when he proves himself a better man, she gives him a second chance. Her last compassionate act is to donate her organs, so others can get “life” out of them in her absence.
