Piper Chapman, Orange is the new black
ENFP
Extraverted Intuition, Ne ( Dominant function )
Piper is guided by her intuitions, ideas and her abstract view of the world. She sees the world as a storm of new possibilities and opportunities to change things and improve herself. Piper gets bored very easily thatās why in prison she is always seeking for a new exprience and adventure that can make her satisfyed as when she starts the prisonās journal or during the riot, when she could stay away from it because she wanted to be part of it and part of the changing. Piper has always searched for thrill and that lead her to prison: She met Alex, fell in love with her and immediately started the money laundering with her but after a while she wanted to change and broke with Alex for staring a new life. Piper is also very creative, in prison she ran a business of underpants to sell outside.
Introverted Feeling, Fi ( Auxilirary function )
Piper follows her emotions and feelings. She is sometimes perceived as selfish as when she leaves Alex, the same day her mother died, just because she decided that she wanted to change her life ( Piper often uses her Te over her Fi ). However Piper always needs to be involved in something she believes and something she considers to be wrong and something test needs to be change. She stands for what she believes and she is very rigid when it comes to her moral code. Piper helps people even when she doesnāt know them very well as when she wants to help Linda during the riot or when she supports Brooke for Pousseyās memorial library, her Fi makes her being empathetic and makes her want to help people in need. However Piper is also very vindictive and prepotent when someone tries to step on her, when Stella stoles the money of her business she doesnāt hesitate to punish her (Fi+Te).
Extraverted Thinking, Te ( Teritary function )
Piper often uses Ne+Te, skipping her auxiliary function. She tries to get done every idea that comes from her extraverted intuition, she tries to get herself busy all the times in prison, she finds a new goals to reach everytime and she does reach it. Piper needs to be in control of everything and everyone: with her relationship with Alex, when she becomes the boss of the underpantsā business, when she becomes the captain of the ball game. She can be seen as very bossy, or thatās what she wants to be, but because her Te is teritary she fails and nobody really take her seriously. Piper is good at working and making people work together as when she makes some inmates collaborate in the prison journal or when she is voted as the coach of the ball game. Anyway Piper makes enemies very easily because of her insensitivity like Maria Ruiz, or Red during the first season.
Introverted Sensing, Si ( Inferior function )
When Piper jumps in new experiences, that sometimes are risky too, she decides to step back to a more settled life: when she dated Alex before going to prison, she felt the need to give up and turn back to a normal life so she ended up breaking with Alex and started a more relaxed and daily life. Piper in prison fell in love again with Alex, she prefers to create stories that brings her comfort, in fact she knew Alex very well and it was easy for her to recreate the bond that had with her in the past ignoring the fact that the relationship didnāt work well before.
