Functional Order: Te/Ni/Se/Fi
Dominant Function: Te
Hatsumomo is one of the best known Geishas at her town and has claimed a large fortune at a relatively young age. As the defector leader of the Geisha House she enjoys asserting her power and influence over others, viewing others as mere tools for her to achieve even more success. She is cruel, scheming and abuses her protege Pumpkin as well as the younger Sayuri to achieve her ends. In order to rise in social status she isn‘t above using dirty treaties and intrigues to rise higher.
Auxiliary Function: Ni
Hatsumomo seems quite mysterious and frightening at first, as she doesn‘t reveal much of her goals to others. She is a skilled manipulator, carefully reading others to get through with her schemes. She is also highly ambitious and visionary, wishing to escape a life of poverty and assert real influence over others, but grows increasingly delusional over time. Her miscalculations cause her her downfall in the end, as her scheming can‘t compete against Sayuris (a Ni dominant).
Tertiary Function: Se
Hatusmomo is beautiful, bold and hedonistic. She secretly drinks, has affairs with local boys and is viciously cruel when angered struggling to control her temper. While she manages to remain graceful and guarded on social setting her fierce temper can take the better under stress, resulting in her almost burning down the Geisha house in a fit of rage. She also has a materialistic streak, enjoying possessing beautiful items and robes, and being quite possessive about them.
Inferior Function: Fi
While she seems cold and cynical on the outside, there might be a more vulnerable side to her. Just like Sayuri she is implied to have been abused as a kid and even though she gained more influence, she still feels trapped in the Geisha house. She feels true earnest love for a boy at town and is devastated when it is forbidden to her. Her feelings than manifest in an almost childlike manner, having temper tantrums and laughing like a maniac when angered. While abusive towards Pumpkin, she show some real relevance for Sayuri betraying her protege in her mind, which causes her to snap at her for this perceived injustice.
