Marie Antoinette could not be further from being Seven at the core, although I agree it's in her tritype. The revolutionist propaganda that still exists today attached her gluttonous and promiscuous lifestyle to who she was as a person. She doesn't belong to head triad though, neither she was intellectually rebellious, manipulative or opportunistic like E7 would be. Initially loved by her people, Marie was described as kind and giving, but also bold and vivacious. Biographies put it clear her that her sin was pride rather than gluttony. Her numerous scandals on the royal court prove her to be extremely prideful, as she was extremely sensitive to any kind of disrespect. She held great prejudice towards Madame Du Barry, which was fueled by her aunts (King Louis XV's sisters), believing she was after becoming king's favorite. Only diplomacy convinced her it's appropriate to make the peace. The moment she realized where revolution was heading to was when people stopped worshipping her as a queen. "As for honors, we received all that we could possibly imagine; but they, though very well in their way, were not what touched me most. What was really affecting was the tenderness and earnestness of the poor people, who, in spite of the taxes with which they are overwhelmed, were transported with joy at seeing us (...) What a happy thing it is for persons in our rank to gain the love of a whole nation so cheaply. Yet there is nothing so precious; I felt it thoroughly, and shall never forget it." This quote not only describes her acknowledging poor state of her people but also what a great value it is for her to feel loved by them. As a matter of subtype, she was self-preservation 2. She was loved in french court for her youthful, childlike and playful disposition.
