Guardians of the Galaxy: Mantis (INFP)

Functional Order: Fi/Ne/Si/Te



Dominant Function: Fi


Mantis is an empath who can touch people and read their emotions, then interpret them through herself, or push her emotions onto other people, allowing them to remain calm rather than get upset, and even putting her master to sleep (the purpose for which he keeps her on his planet). She is very sympathetic and compassionate toward others, but also unaware of how when she shares their feelings, she’s exposing their deeper secrets or causing them embarrassment. She just simply states whatever she feels directly, whether it’s to remark on their sexual desire for each other or to laugh uproariously when touching Drax.

Auxilliary Function: Ne


She is insightful in interpreting these feelings, sensing that Quill and Gamora have feelings for each other that they aren’t addressing, and thinking Gamora is attacking her out of fear, rather than simple aggression. She is naïve because she’s never been around other people, taking jokes at a surface level and laughing at them, sometimes at her own expense, and trusting that whatever Drax tells her about herself is true (that she’s hideous and undesirable, but this is fine, because it means people will love her for herself, and not her pretty face).


Tertiary Function: Si


Mantis becomes fearful of history repeating itself, enough that she wants to warn Drax and his friends not to trust Ego, but she only does so under tremendous pressure.

Inferior Function: Te


She can be blunt when questioned, and simply states the facts of what she knows about Ego and his diabolical intentions.
