## Psychology

- **Attachment:** Secure
Comfortable with both intimacy and independence. They trust other people and themselves, and can rely on someone without feeling they're giving up their autonomy. Disagreements feel workable, not threatening. They ask for what they need and respect it when others do the same.

- **Blind spot:** May not fully understand what less secure attachment feels like, which can make them seem dismissive of other people's relationship anxieties
- **Defense:** Undoing
Performs a ritual or counter-action meant to cancel out a previous thought or deed, as if the second act can unmake the first.

- **Lie:** Feelings are unreliable and should be overridden by logic
Distrusts emotion. If something can't be reasoned through, they don't think it should be acted on.

- **Bias:** No dominant bias
No single cognitive distortion dominates this person's thinking. They have the usual human biases, but none consistently shapes their worldview.

## Character

- **Emotional State:** Resigned

## Values

Autonomy
Being in charge of their own life is a core need, not a preference. They cooperate willingly with structures they've chosen, but resist anything imposed from outside.

Knowledge
Finds understanding how things work rewarding in itself, and is uncomfortable making decisions without enough information.

- **Stress:** Goes analytical and distancing
Responds to stress by analysing it, describing exactly what's happening and why, while staying disconnected from feeling any of it.
- **Recovery:** Analysis contains the stress but doesn't resolve it; at some point they have to stop explaining the feeling and let themselves feel it
- **Locus:** Internal (70%)
Generally trusts that effort shapes outcomes, and takes responsibility without being relentless about it.
- **Blind spot:** Still likely to work harder when the situation was already decided
- **Quirk:** Know-it-all
- **Fears:** Painful death
- **Priorities:** 1. Comfort  2. Health
