Functional Order: Fe/Ni/Se/Ti
Dominant Function: Fe
Margaery is determined to become queen of King’s Landing, and does so through using people to achieve her goals – she flatters and appeals to them, winning them over with charm and raising public support. She’s able to show empathy, compassion, and generosity when needed, and she both means these and uses her ability to make connections to further her success and ensure her family’s survival. Margaery cares how others see her, and is able to calm Joffrey down by appealing to his nature, learning how to manipulate and control him and then using similar tactics on her next husband. She tries to persuade Renley to sleep with her, by reassuring him that whatever he needs, she will assist with.
Auxiliary Function: Ni
Margaery is a highly ambitious young woman, who has a clear vision of the future. She doesn‘t just want to carry on her royals legacy, but wants to be „The Queen“ ü, ruling all of Westeros and securing her family‘s legacy. Her manipulation is subtle and she knows how to charm others with her words and predict their future actions. She is quick to make connections and often uses allegorical imagery, telling the young Sansa made up stories to make her love. She is aware of the symbolical impact of her actions, a knowledge she uses in her quest for the throne. For a woman of her time Margaery is very open minded and progressive, not questioning her brothers sexuality and notices the need of change to secure their power in Westeros.
Tertiary Function: Se
Margaery knows how to use her beautiful looks and sexual appeal to her advantage. She is rather free spirited and adventurous, having wild affairs and enjoys smelling the roses of High Garden. Her Se can also cause her to act on her impulses at times and to overestimate her influence leading to her downfall at the end.
Inferior Function: Ti
When the High Sparrow takes her prisoner, Margaery is able to survive by pretending to submit to him, forsake all her former sins, and amend her ways. She does not spend much time second-guessing her intentions, analyzing her own behavior, or thinking through the ramifications (inferior Ti).
