ISFP 6w5 Characters

Vorobyaninov is an extremely emotionally unhealthy man, fixated only on how things relate to him and how he can profit from them, who hears of his mother-in-law sewing diamonds into a chair and immediately feels hurt and abused that she did not entrust him with this information. He sets out to get the jewels back, not caring whom he abuses alongside the way, teeming with indignation, rage, impatience, and arrogance. He does not openly share his feelings that much, except to express harsh disdain when Bender asks him to sacrifice his self-integrity and pretend to be an epileptic to get money from a crowd; but he sacrifices even that, to get what his heart most wants – the chairs. His inferior Te shows in his reckless impatience, his inability to calculate when is the right moment to act, and his ruthlessness in hunting down the chairs.  He gambled away his entire fortune before the Revolution, and intends to do the same (probably) if he gets his hands on his mother-in-law’s gems. He tends to react in the moment, often being far too impulsive in his pursuit of what he wants; Bender has to hold him back from rushing into situations, hell-bent on tearing apart his chairs. He’s quick to notice things and react (chasing down the priest, stealing his chair, trying to climb a cliff, running across the train tracks, attacking Bender, almost drowning when he’s left behind, etc), all in pursuit of a single futuristic vision for himself, as a rich man once again. But he fails to read between the lines most of the time, to understand why he cannot move “now,” and he shows little interest in guessing at anyone else’s motives.

Enneagram: 6w5

Vorobyaninov is highly reactive and emotional, and flies off the handle with rage a lot of the time, in his desire to immediately get his hands on “his chairs” which he thinks promises him a fortune in jewels. He often makes a fool of himself in the process, in his angry determination to get what he wants. He is not a healthy 6 in the sense that he’s completely a narcissist, self-absorbed, and cares about no one but himself, but he does latch on to Bender and becomes both subservient to him out of fear, and obedient to most of his demands. While he refuses to pretend to be an epileptic at first, and finds it a “disgusting” thing to do, he willingly does it twice to earn money, one time to convince Bender to stay with him as his friend. In that sense, he’s seeking friendship and loyalty in a world that feels too large for him to handle alone. He is grasping and clutching at whatever he can find to give himself wealth and importance (his line to 3, but also his 5 wing’s “me first” scarcity mindset).
