(1/2) "Then couldn't you just become someone who can't be ignored? Lineage, power, and wealth determine a person's worth. Skills and knowledge as well. Fortunately, princess, you already possess one of those things- lineage. Although it's only from one side. As for power and wealth, if you can use your knowledge well, they will naturally fall into your hands." "Well then, let me ask you one thing- what can you offer me in return for teaching you how to read?" "Calm down, princess. What I wish for is not some trivial love affair with you. Yes. If you can give me a connection to the royal family, I will be your support and help you gain some strength. A long time ago, we, the Yang clan, gave a great amount of support to allow this country to be established. This country has thrived and expanded for 300 years, during which the royal family's power has gradually become stronger, while us, the clans that helped create it, have grown weaker and even been removed from the positions of power. I want to recover our clan's glorious honor. I'll also return it to you, what is yours as a royal- authority and power. Of course you can do it, with me at your side. Don't worry, since I will make you perfectly bloom into a flawless ruler." "Marriage is the strongest contract a person can form with another person, right? It is an opportunity that can be used only a few times in a life. It shouldn't be wasted on trivial emotions." And these are all quotes just from the first 6 chapters. Dowun is not an sp 3 imo (thought I do believe he has a 3 fix) or an sp 1. The sp 3 is part of the image/shame triad (counter-vanity) and is someone who wants their work to speak for itself and be acknowledged as the best via that work. The sp 1 is part of the gut/anger triad, feels anxiety about being perfect, and converts their anger into warmth. Rather than sp 3 or sp 1, Dowun comes off as a textbook so 5 (head/fear triad)- a character motivated to use his specialized knowledge in order to raise his status in the social hierarchy. For reference, I will share the official descriptions (PDB wiki, but just excerpts from various enneagram authors) for sp 3, so 5, sp 1, and so 3: so 5: https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/social-5-in-detail sp 3: https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/self-preservation-3-in-detail sp 1: https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/self-preservation-1-in-detail so 3: https://wiki.personality-database.com/books/enneagram/page/social-3-in-detail From the so 5 summary: Combining the social instinct with the passion of avarice manifests as holding on to whatever the individual considers gives him his social standing. Often this person will have a hero to live up to, someone looked at as a intellectual. The SO5 has a greed for social recognition, though, due to the nature of the 5, they are highly avoidant of people they consider unworthy. They are very conscious of social hierarchies, and because of this this subtype is insanely picky with who they associate with, they consider ordinary life and people as boring, as they search for a higher meaning and higher understanding. Wanting to be a totem of knowledge for others, this subtype is heavily intellectual and oriented towards collecting knowledge. This subtype also intellectualizes and isolates their own feelings the most, constantly separating them from their thoughts and suppressing them, seeing them as not important. They're also the most arrogant and cold 5, though they are also the least transparent 5, as they want to maintain their image of knowledge, always hiding a part of themselves. Ichazo titled SO5 "Totems", someone who has heroes to live up to[1], however this idealization both divinizes their heroes and dehumanizes everyone else.[2] Naranjo described this character as someone who wants to feel that they matter, but they themselves feel unimportant or uninteresting, a place of "inner poverty", which causes them to seek magic of meaning, the richness of experience, the special, elevated, great or extraordinary.[2] _____________________________ Dowun's role is playing advisor to the isolated and abandoned princess Hong Lyon, making her depend solely on him, and rising the ranks by making her the next emperor and solidifying his position by becoming her fiancee. Even on their first meeting in chapter 3 you can instantly see how Dowun softens his demeanor when he realizes Hong Lyong is a princess rather than a medical worker or servant and tells her that he's "memorized the imperial family line." Dowun is cold, calculated, and completely removed from his emotions- from his willingness to sacrifice his younger brother so that his plans won't go awry to being removed from his growing feelings for Hong Lyon as Baek Han grows more prominent in her life.
