Merlin: Arthur (ESTP)

Functional Axis: Se/Ti/Fe/Ni

Dominant Function: Se

Arthur is very impulsive and often acts recklessly in the moment. He is a skilled swordsman and quick to react to outside threads. He enjoys the small pleasures of life and can act quite hedonistic especially for a future king. He is quick to make judgments about things and has a strong sense of realism.

Auxilliary Function: Ti

Arthur is rather cynical and cod in the beginning. He watches things from a detached standpoint and is skilled at strategizing. He has a dry sense of humor and speaks his truth no matter how insensitive or blunt it seems to others. He makes his own judgment based on the informations he gathers through his senses (Se) and often questions his father‘s orders.

Tertiary Function: Fe

Arthur develops this function throughout the story. While in the beginning he only seems to care about himself, this impression is proven on later on and he is willing to sacrifice his personal feelings for the sake of the greater good. He becomes rather charismatic and willing to unite people. Still he holds onto some of his more elitist believes and can seem a bit hypocritical, but he tries to better himself.

Inferior Function: Ni

Arthur takes things at face value, even though he lives in a world full of magic he often chooses to ignore it for the sake of a more pragmatic approach. He doesn‘t think highly of the idea of a future change in Camelot and he needs time to find out the true motives of others like Merlin and Morgana. In the end he comes to appreciate his destiny and takes the responsibility of looking at the bigger picture and leading Camelot to its destined future, even though he isn‘t sure what it is.
