DOM SI *Queenie: Oh well, you know, she found out about Jacob and I seeing each other and she didn’t like it, ’cause of the “law.” -Queenie* Tina is highly loyal and responsible. She (initially) has a high regard for authority and prefers value systems that uphold it. When Tina first meets Newt, she is shocked and panicked by his disregard for the law, and automatically defends MACUSA's "backwards" mandates about relations with Muggles. Si users like to look to the past when determining what to do in the future, and can struggle with change. We see this with Tina’s overwhelmed state after losing her job: she doesn’t know what to do without her familiar routine and spends her time trying to get her job back. Tina's ability to apply past knowledge to new situations is seen when she calms the Zouwu by mimicking Newt's earlier actions. AUX FE *Tina: That's how I lost my job. I went for her in front of a meeting of her crazy followers.* Tina's care for Credence demonstrates Fe. Of course Fe users don’t have a monopoly on caring for others, but SiFe’s are highly protective of those they have taken into their “inner circle” and will put themselves into a confrontational situation on behalf of someone close to them, although they would likely let the same situation slide if it only affected them. Tina losing her job standing up against Credence's adoptive mother speaks to Fe > Te. Fe can 'manipulate' others' emotions, seen when Tina is able to make Credence calm down and listen to her at the end of FB1. Fe users are often sensitive to criticism, seen when Tina takes personally Newt's comment about Aurors as "careerist hypocrites", which was not directed at her. Her Fe is also clear in the way that she responds to Newt while he attempts to leave the Goldsteins' apartment to look for his creatures; there's a sense of judgement of his rudeness and lack of civility. TER TI Throughout most of the first film, Tina is stuck in an Si-Ti loop: - Lacking empathy towards Newt and Jacob - Responding critically and coldly to Newt's perceived logical short-comings (bringing his creatures to New York) and impracticality (failure to Obliviate Jacob) - Becoming out of touch with her own feelings - "Showing off" her status as an Auror to prove her worth - Failing to recognise social cues, such as when Madame Piqcuery is not welcoming her intrusions. Ti also tends to distrust empirical data. Tina dismisses ideas that don't fit in her worldview and has a certain stubbornness when accepting new information. INF NE *Newt: Now, don’t panic* *Tina: What do you suggest I do instead?* Tina often has to make a mistake once in order to grow (relying on Si). She panics about the worst-case scenario and is timid in unfamiliar environments.
