Functional Order: Ni/Fe/Ti/Se
Dominant Function: Ni
Angharad is an independent young woman who is able to remain steadfastly idealistic despite her captivity. She has one strong vision: get herself and her sisters out of their gilded cage as sex slaves and into the far-off Green Place, where they may live peacefully in freedom. She never wavers from this goal, but when things get difficult, she reminds herself, as a mantra, “We’re going to the Green Place… We’re going to the Green Place of many mothers.” Angharad often speaks symbolically. Before the Wives make their escape, she writes powerful, rather poetic messages on the floor and wall (“WHO KILLED THE WORLD?”; “OUR BABIES WILL NOT BE WAR LORDS”; “WE ARE NOT THINGS”) of the vault the women had always been locked in, forcing Joe to see her refusal to be caged up as the pet of a brutal man for life, and later repeats the same “Then who killed the world?!” to Nux when he insists he and Joe’s men weren’t the ones who destroyed civilization.
Auxiliary Function: Fe
Though she’d lived a very oppressed life, Angharad never once lashes out at anyone even when they cause her problems. She reminds kind to others and is very protective of the other Wives, who she acts as a role model to and representative for, and also Furiosa. She greatly values harmony and wishes to avoid conflict whenever possible. She calmly walks over to Max to give him the water hose as he wishes while he has a gun pointed at her (and later holds no grudges against him for injuring her, even smiling at the thumbs-up he gives her save of the War Rig). Part of the deal Angharad makes with Furiosa when the latter helps the Wives escape? “No unnecessary killing!” She stops Furiosa from killing Nux, asserting that “He’s just a kid at the end of his half-life!” Even though she wants him out of the picture, she has the empathy to know how sad the life of a War Boy is as well.
Tertiary Function: Ti
Angharad has no proof the Green Place exists, but the idea itself is enough inspiration for her to try to escape. She knows the Wives will make it there. Angharad often shows emotion, but is also fairly calm and logical. She dislikes violence and conflict, but she realizes some fighting is necessary to protect themselves and to attain their goal. She protects Nux from being killed (out of defense) at the hands of Furiosa, but she also is able to detach herself from being too lenient with him, allowing him to be thrown out of the truck to keep him from taking the women back.
Inferior Function: Se
Angharad is very quick-thinking in the midst of trouble and encourages others to take action as well, allowing herself even pregnant to be reckless at times. She immediately yanks Max’s chain to keep him off of Furiosa and gets the other girls to help her. When Immortan Joe is about to shoot Furiosa, Angharad quickly opens to the door of the car and directly plants herself in Furiosa’s way to protect her.
