“Screw you, Twilight. This is my party!”
Classical Temperament- Sanguine
Okay, you know what? I’ve noticed something. These cut-and-paste personality entries that I’ve been making are…. pretty boring. And they don’t work very well for everypony. Like Spike (hard to give examples of his reaction time and duration time) and Fluttershy (being very Enneagram 9 without really manifesting the basic fear of Enneagram 9) for the past two Pony Personalities. So I’m going to try to move away from the cut-and-paste format and into a more conversational (and fun) description.
Finding Celestia’s temperament is very… interesting. She feels fairly balanced between Choleric and Phlegmatic. She’s a leader and a doer, but still laid-back, not pushing for completion and work all the time, and eager for fun. Actually, that would be Sanguine. A good Sanguine would have a people-centered way of focusing on the external world. Even when Celestia gets down to business, she’s still in the business of people, so that makes her feel much less choleric.
Jungian- TeSi (ESTJ)
LeGasp! I’m not putting Celestia as an N? …Well, yeah, I’m not. Her time orientation is nowhere near the future bent of an Ni-user. She is focused on the task looming straight before her, and her solutions are by no means long term. For instance, she takes the Elements from the Tree of Harmony to combat the current threat of Discord, even though that causes problems down the road, and she banishes her sister to the moon, which is also a temporary fix. I do think there are N users in My Little Pony (Discord, definitely, Cadence, possibly, maybe some others), but we’ll get to them eventually.
But yeah, Celestia is generally task-oriented, and this is her Te coming into view. She is organized and tries to apply objective logic to her surrounding world. She generally attempts to work with familiar means to solve problems. (Si, if the Elements of Harmony ain’t broke, don’t fix ’em.)
I feel a little bad about saying that Celestia’s inferior, repressed function is Fi. She’s a very sweet pony, after all. Always thinking about the safety of her subjects. But therein lies the proof. She does repress her feelings, because, after all, her feelings conflict with themselves. The major example here would be the banishment of Luna. Of course that event would be traumatic for her, but she represses it because she feels she needs to.
Salutations! There’s not much left for me to add. Celestia is a wise and caring leader, putting the welfare of others before herself for the most part, excluding the Gross Gruesome Gala. She is the Queen of Convenient Timing. She acts as a guide and mentor for Twilight, but has become less so as time has passed. Her subjects adore her, and even use her name for certain terms, such as “Sweet Celestia!” Celestia is not above having a different side to her: a fun, pranky side, which she has shown us a few times already.
