Steins Gate: Suzuha Amane (ESFP)

Se:

“Look, I’m terrible at this. Verbal communication is not my strong suit. Forgive me if I skip the niceties and get straight to the point.”

“Like I always say, when in doubt, come at the enemy with all you’ve got!”

Suzuha from Steins Gate is action-oriented and impulsive. While part of it is certainly training, Suzuha is always quick to take decisive action in response to anything that has happened. When Okabe makes a joke about being brainwashed, Suzuha grabs him and throws him onto a bench to check if he has been chipped. In Zero, Suzuha pulls a gun on Okabe multiple times and actually shoots him to prove her point. She also tends to speak before she thinks. Suzuha starts to call Yuki “mom” multiple times, and has the same problem with her father and her uncle. In addition, when first introduced into the show, she appears very extraverted and attempts to use popular phrases that she’s not necessarily familiar with. She’s also doesn’t like inaction, and complains about boredom in her job at the shop. Suzuha enjoys competition, which is a common Se tendency, and multiple times Suzuha allows herself to get distracted from her mission in favor of enjoying the present moment. She’s also impatient, which resulted in her doctoring a photo so she could trick her father into action.

Fi:

“I’m lost. What am I supposed to do? I don’t know what’s right anymore. I need help… I can’t… I’m drowning.”

“I failed…I forgot about my mission, my duty. I lived an easy life with my head in the sand. Please, please forgive me.”

Suzuha is very passionate about fulfilling her duty. Suzuha spends the entirety of Zero attempting to convince Okabe that he needs to save Kurisu. There appears to be an emotional intensity behind her words and actions whenever it concerns that subject, and she clearly has a deep sense of conviction. In general, Suzuha connects easily with others, and has no issues making friends. Of course, she has to keep back a part of herself as result of her secret past. However, even with those who know her past, she typically avoids intense displays of emotions. In Zero, her emotional state is generally more upset, but she mostly just displays anger and conviction to others, while keeping the more private emotional displays limited to Daru or no one at all. During the show, she chastises herself for allowing her personal desire to find her family get in the way of completing her mission, which could potentially be translated as favoring emotions over logic.

Te:

“I order you to tell me, Okabe Rintarou.”

Whenever possible, Suzuha is straightforward and usually possesses the discipline required to fulfill her mission or goals. (As mentioned previously, she allows herself to take a detour in an attempt to find her family, which could indicate low Te.) However, Suzuha has no issues doing what it takes to make something happen. She has the resolve to shoot Okabe on multiple occasions in an attempt to force him to do what she believes he needs to do. She can be very commanding when she feels something need to happen.

Ni:

“I don’t know what all your cryptic B.S. means. Who cares! I do know that you’re the one to blame for all the terrible things that happened to her!”

Suzuha’s inferior Ni blends into her dominant Se, making it hard to differentiate. However, she at times struggles with thinking about long term consequences. She’s frequently impulsive, oftentimes speaking before thinking. She accidentally alienates Kagari with harsh words. In addition, she allow herself to make a stop in the year 2010, even though she knows she has limited fuel. She also prefers to take things at face value, and doesn’t like overly cryptic speech.
