[1/3] Mashiro Rima character analysis. This is mainly focused on why she fits sexual 5 over self preservation 5; some parts detail her psychosophy placements too, but if there's any questions regarding other systems like socionics then feel free to ask. Quotes may have slight inaccuracies due it not being from an official source, rather fan translations. > "What are you laughing about? It's not even funny, you look stupid. Don't talk to me about such trivial matters." Rima's character was introduced specifically as the contrast between her personality and her appearance. Amu and her classmates are thrown off by Rima's surprisingly cold demeanor, despite her attractiveness, however consider what Amu thought before introducing herself to Rima: “could it be she’s just like me, creating a wall with her outer character?” And when the other girls in the class called her out for her bad attitude and said that she wouldn’t make any friends, Rima simply replied, “I don’t need friends... I’m not interested anyways.” These very quotes hint at the idea that Rima is more than what she seems, almost as if she is purposeful in her emotional distance. https://imgur.com/a/ZiUCDeJ > “Hmm… that’s right. Carry me.” With Rima’s tendency for prioritizing her own physical comfort, she could be mistaken for a self preservation 5, however the main reason why Rima fits sexual 5 instead is because of her dependency. She does not restrict her needs to conserve what little she has, but instead relies on other's services because it is being offered. When Amu tells her to stop depending on people so much, Rima's response is to fake-cry, causing the other to panic. Afterwards, Rima scolds Amu for not recognizing fake tears: “a girl must be able to control her lachrymal glands." This is a good example of Rima not expressing a need for boundaries, but rather showing how greedy she can be when it comes to seeking physical support. As if it's only way she knows how to establish relationships with others. https://imgur.com/a/9sTXU3W How this represents sexual 5 is due to information that is later revealed which gives reasoning to Rima’s behavior. During the bookcase cleaning scene, it can be noted that she doesn't like to be helped without asking first. Being called stubborn when she called Amu a "busybody" for taking the initiative to help her, however to see Amu so earnestly allowed Rima to let down her guard for the first time. She became slightly warmer, stating that Amu could call her by her first name. This surprises Amu, given the cold front Rima has been showing up until now. After finishing up, Amu meets Kairi in the hallways, who has learned all the students’ information, so she asks him why Rima’s parents come to pick her up. Kairi explains to Amu that Rima has been nearly kidnapped before, stating that was potentially the reason why. With this information revealed to us, we now have a better idea of her neurosis. https://imgur.com/a/chapter-20-aY4Myd4 > "I like gags, but if I don't hide my smile, I'd hate myself. When I was young, everyone smiled. Papa and mama, too, also smiled and were happy... but at that time, I understood... a smile looks stupid, it's good for nothing. Smiling is a childish and weak person's way of escaping. Without smiling, gags are just cold, right?" Rima is taught by her parents to see childish things as foolish, which in return forces her to repress her own feelings and dreams. This is shone when she expresses her embarrassment when talking about her would-be self (Kusu Kusu). Following an accidental chara change in front of the class, Rima runs off crying and Amu defends her from the other students: "It is Rima! That was also Rima." Rima then confides in Amu for the first time, in which Amu's response comforted Rima, now becoming that important person of trust to her. "It is better not to show oneself, to inhibit oneself emotionally and wait for the right person to appear with whom we can exist and show ourselves as we are, since she, in our fantasy will accept us unconditionally and we will then be able to live, with the security obtained, everything that we do not dare to live in the world. Waiting for that encounter, the only time we allow ourselves to be ourselves is when we are alone, feeling isolated in everyday life." From this moment, Rima sees Amu as her best friend, the first ever person she has shown her true thoughts to. Even expressing her agitation and jealousy whenever someone else (Nadeshiko/Nagihiko) is close to her shows characteristics of a sx instinct variant dom for her one-on-one relationship with Amu. https://imgur.com/a/DkiYyXk

Beautiful as she is, however, Rima's got her own insecurities. However, it did, when combined with her liking for comedy, help create her Chara Kusukusu.
