Vin / Lady Valette Renoux MBTI Personality Type
Personality
What personality type is Vin / Lady Valette Renoux? Vin / Lady Valette Renoux is an ISTP personality type in MBTI, 6w5 - sp/sx - 649 in Enneagram, RLUEN in Big 5, LSI in Socionics.
Vin and Elend are an interesting pair because between them the feeler is the intellectual and the thinker is the...scholarly averse. ISFP is honestly impossible to justify, inferior Te is just never a thing with this character. Her whole arc also doesn't revolve around a matter of identity and self-expression, but wanting to belong, finding a place where she is welcome and where she can chill, safely for herself and her loved ones. Her inferior Fe is also very much in your face the entire trilogy, she's on a constant trip of "oh my god what are these people thinking? They're suspicious, should I even trust them?", and sure she is traumatised, but that is low intuition+feeling (not)working together. Either way even her Ti seemed obvious from the start to me. All her internal monologues revolve around trying to understand situations, figuring things out, making sense of things and deciding whether something is trustworthy or not. The only time identity comes into play is when she becomes enamoured with her feminine side and she starts doubting whether she wants to indulge that or not. But even if you believe that to be a sign of Fi usage, it'd be on the lower side. It's specifically because Vin is not in touch with her feelings that she struggles to understand such things about herself, a dominant feeler would be much more self-assured about it(see as an example how Elend refuses to compromise his stances until he's forced to). On her sociotype I'm also skeptical of SLI. She's definetely a sensing-logical type, but S base doesn't really suit her. I think she is either LSI or LSE. I excluded SLE because F seems for her more of a reaction than something she naturally uses(and mobilising E also doesn't sound right, although I'm partial to polr R). I think of how Kelsier had to work to drill into her head the value of optimism and trust and think that I is also an element she struggles with a lot, together with obviously R. But I'm open to arguments on her sociotype.
Biography
The main character of the series. Vin is a Mistborn, a special type of Allomancer who can use the powers of all the metals. This is because she is the bastard child of a Skaa woman and Lord Prelan Tevidian Tekiel, the leader of the Steel Ministry. At first, she is the member of a thieving crew, but Kelsier recruits her to his rebellion. For some strange reason, she has powers unlike any Mistborn ever before.
