˗ˏˋ ❝𝕬 𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙'𝖘 𝖆 𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖛𝖞 𝖇𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖓.❞ ´ˎ˗ [1/2] This is definitely a controversial opinion, but I believe Sophie is a 9w1 [so/sx]. PASSION, FIXATION, HOLY IDEA & VIRTUE ( source : http://davesenneagram.com/ego-type-9-ego-in-oscar-ichazo ) ⤷ 𝐋𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 prevents the 9 from developing their individuality, although they might be "hyperactive" in other ways. Unlike the middle Hatter sister, who believes she's destined for greatness regardless of not being the youngest, Sophie is the opposite and resigns herself to her current life. The same applies for 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. ⤷ Sophie's 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 is shown in her relationship to Howl. Feelings of separation/isolation/unworthiness are broken down as she realizes and accepts that he genuinely loves her, and she loves him too. ⤷ Her old appearance turning into her young one as the curse breaks is the physical embodiment of the virtue of 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. In the end, she gains the strength to overcome her vices and save the day. TRAIT STRUCTURE ( source : Character and Neurosis, Naranjo ) ⤷ Ordinariness: Sophie has low self-esteem in the beginning of the story, and considers herself to be plain and boring. One example of this is when she isn't worried about an encounter with Howl because he doesn't "steal the souls of girls who aren't beautiful." I also think this relates to the "paucity of inner attentions" that psychological inertia describes. ⤷ Generosity: the way she immediately warms up to characters like Turnip and Markl shows her naturally kind, helpful, and generous character. ⤷ Resignation: basically the same thing as I said about the passion of laziness, she "gives up and doesn't stand up for herself" in the beginning unlike her sister. ⤷ Habit-Boundness: this is described as having a passion for comfort, and Sophie is pretty routinely and organized. ⤷ Over-Adaptation: she is more focused on others and the things happening around her, not giving much attention to her personal needs and wants. ex. "Please, Howl, I know I can be of help to you. Even though I'm not pretty, and all I'm good at is cleaning." SUBTYPE ( source : The 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge, Chestnut ) ❝Social Nines can be workaholics; they feel a need to work hard and give a lot. But it’s not just work-they energetically demonstrate friendliness and sociability; they don’t show their pain; they don’t burden others; and they don’t show people how much energy it takes to devote so much effort to the community.❞ ⤷ Sophie's high conscientiousness, whether it be taking care of the house or the hat shop, matches the "workaholic" nature of the so9 as well as both of those things being in service of a group (Markl/Howl/Calcifer and her family). ❝Social Nines are extroverted, expressive, and forceful, and so they go against the inertia typical of Type Nine in some ways-but on the inside they still have a sense of laziness about their own needs and wants.❞ ⤷ Although I wouldn't describe her as extraverted or particularly forceful, this explains Sophie's tendency to accept things as they happen and take more action against them as a countertype 9 than the other two types would.
