One more thing I wanted to say concerning Si: I get why you‘d think that: her dislike of Lily goes so far back into childhood and she can’t let go of the past. But I feel that more often than not, many characters on this site who show any of these traits (being influenced by the past, having to learn to let go, being affected by past trauma, being influenced by your childhood, etc.) are typed Si. Si might be a tad more likely to be influenced by this stronger than others, but every type is influenced by it in some way. The way every human brain works is that it stores memories or that it can harbour regrets, every type is capable of doing so. Some of these traits typically deemed Si are just part of human nature. Trauma can affect any type, regret can affect any type, and letting go of hate is something every person has to learn. Childhood influences us all, things we learn or think early in life affect us later too. In her case, she was jealous of Lily- she seems to believe „perfect Lily“ was loved more by her parents than she because of her powers. So partly she was freaked out by them personally, but another reason she could never make friends with them was that she was jealous.It is quite possible for any type for this to carry over into adulthood. She started viewing Lily and her powers as bad quite early and changing her mind would mean forgiving her, and that’s the one thing she never could. But it’s not exclusively Si. A lot of bad things come from regret, revenge, past trauma, pain or anger, and it’s not only started by Si-doms.
