Are INTJs and ENFPs Truly Soulmates?

Hey, everyone.

So, finally, I've kicked my butt into gear to write this post. If I'm honest, the potential content of this post scares me because it is such a huge undertaking. I have a lot of resources to go through and unfortunately, I have no (known) personal experience with an ENFP, so I can only speculate based on what information I have. Obviously, therefore, this is by no means the definitive or ultimate judgment on whether or not INTJs and ENFPs are soulmates. But let's see if we can't at least shed some light on this phenomenon.

Before I get into it though, I want to remind you all of my Patreon. If you like what I write and you want to support my blog, I'd greatly appreciate it as it allows me to keep bringing you guys content, and there's already a bunch of content on my blog for perusal. One dollar a month works wonders, but five would work miracles. That's just .17 cents a day.

Anyway...

Who's Really Crushing on You?

If you're no stranger to MBTI, or you're an INTJ or an ENFP, and you spend a lot of time on Pinterest, you've likely come across a pin titled "Here’s Who Probably Has A Crush On You Based On Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type" which is an article on Thought Catalog written by Heidi Priebe. (The woman writes a lot of stuff on MBTI.) And being a lonely INTJ, who is also familiar with the apparent natural romance between INTJs and ENFPs, I had to check it out. So, who does Priebe claim is crushing on INTJs? Here's the excerpt:

"Who’s crushing on you: The emotionally intense one.

They’re introspective, analytical and artistic. You’re intense, intellectual and emotionally guarded. You may see them as overly whimsical but they see you as a challenge. This emotionally intelligent type wants to break down your walls and understand what’s beneath your cool, rational exterior. [...] They may prove themselves imperative to helping you unlock parts of yourself you never knew existed –and you may just grow immeasurably from it."

Now, while Priebe doesn't spell out who the "emotionally intense one" is, stating things like "introspective, analytical and artistic," "emotionally intelligent type," and "overly whimsical" who sees INTJs "as a challenge" all seems to point at the ENFPs. ENFPs, though feelers, are known to have a deeper intuitive intellect not all that dissimilar from an INTJ's. To further prove my point, 16Personalities describes the ENFP as energetic, sociable, enthusiastic, choosing to focus on social and emotional connections while also admitting that they are curious, observant, and creative which are three traits that can also describe INTJs. But, is this really enough to go on? Well, let's take a look at who Priebe claims is crushing on ENFPs.

"Who’s crushing on you: The quiet, nerdy one.

They’re focused, composed and together. You’re scattered, enthusiastic and charming. At a first glance it might not be a match made in heaven but something about your quick wit and fearless charisma keeps drawing them back to you. Try giving this combination a shot – you may be surprised to find that their intensity and firmness balances you out in all the right ways."

While I don't think of myself as a "nerd," even when the conversation turns to anime and video games, I do revel in my intelligence and I'm constantly looking to expand my knowledge. I'm also quiet, focused, composed, intense, firm, and when money isn't a concern, together. It does sound like Priebe is describing an INTJ especially when she concedes that this doesn't look like a "match made in heaven" at first glance. However, going back to the INTJ excerpt, Priebe states INTJs "may see [ENFPs] as overly whimsical but they see [us] as a challenge. This emotionally intelligent type wants to break down your walls and understand what’s beneath your cool, rational exterior." That quote reminds me of this image I found on Pinterest.

I was on a forum once where an INTJ
actually confirmed this.

This seems to be what Priebe is describing in that statement. Even still though, this isn't terribly conclusive. So, what's the next point of evidence?

Have You Been Sitting in Sugar? Because That Ass is Sweet!

Well, besides writing a speculative post on the ENFP-INTJ romance potential, Priebe also did some hard research which she talks about in an article called "I Surveyed Each Myers-Briggs Type To See Which Type They Were Most Attracted To – Here Are The Results." What this article is about is pretty self-explanatory. However, what makes it truly revealing is that Priebe went ahead and made pie charts out of all the responses she got. To keep things simple, here are the charts to the answer from INTJs and ENFPs.

 

So a majority of ENFPs (23%) find INTJs the most attractive personality, and a majority of INTJs (26%) find ENFPs the most attractive. This seems pretty conclusive of the INTJ-ENFP romance. These are the cold hard facts and figures. However, I would be remiss if I didn't stop to consider the other personalities INTJs considered as well as the other personalities that found INTJs to be the most attractive or at the least, found INTJs attractive enough to place them in the top three.

Looking at who INTJs favored, the three highest personalities after ENFP were ENTP/-J at 13% both and then INTJ at 10%. As for those personalities who think INTJs are the most attractive beside ENFPs, those are ENFJs (15%), ENTPs (20%), and ISFPs (23%). INTJs also scored "high" amongst INFPs (10%), INFJs (11%), INTPs (13%), and ISFJs (16%). Looking at these facts and figures, what can we deduce? Are there any patterns?

Well, from the perspective of INTJs, it seems like the quality they prefer the most in a partner is the Intuitive trait. Similarly, INTJs are most attractive to Intuitives. INTJs also seem to have a preference for Extraverts whereas Introverts prefer them. Moving into Thinking versus Feeling, 26% of INTJs prefer Feeling to 36% who prefer Thinking but there are five Feeling types who quite like INTJs compared to only two Thinking types. In Prospecting versus Judging, 39% of INTJs like Prospecting versus 23% who like Judging. And then there are similar results on the other side where four Prospecting personalities prefer INTJs to just three Judging personalities. Therefore, an INTJ's biggest fan is likely to be an Introvert, an Intuitive, a Feeler, and Prospecting. Despite this, INFPs found ENFPs the most attractive (20%) and their second choice is ENFJs. INTJs are their third choice.

 

Something else that's really interesting, if you're looking at these results from the perspective of one who studied the basics of MBTI from 16Personalities, such as yours truly, is that INTJs quite like other Analyst types, but their top pick is a Diplomat. Taking this analysis a step forward, we see that INTJs appeal to all four of the Diplomat personalities (xNFx), but only one of each from the other three: Sentinels (ISFJ), Analysts (INTP), and Explorers (ISFP). Looking at things this way, I begin to wonder if the reason why INTJs have so much appeal is because of how grounded, real, and/or how sure they are of themselves. I mean, Diplomats are Feelers and can be sensitive while Explorers are kind of flighty, INTPs second guess themselves all the time, and ISFJs can be a combination of some of those traits. Perhaps INTJs' "sure footed-ness" is their most appealing quality.

INTJ
The emotional mountain goat of MBTI

That's an interesting thought, but things get really interesting when we start to look at cognitive functions. When I compared the cognitive functions of INTJs and ENFPS, I came across a few insights that may shed life on their romantic phenomenon. And if you don't know anything about cognitive functions, all my information will be coming from another Priebe article: "If You’re Confused About Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type, Read This: An Intro To Cognitive Functions."

To start with, what are the cognitive functions of INTJs and ENFPs?

INTJ: Ni – Te – Fi – Se

(Introverted Intuition--Extraverted Thinking--Introverted Feeling--Extraverted Sensing)

ENFP: Ne – Fi – Te – Si

(Extraverted Intuition--Introverted Feeling--Extraverted Thinking--Introverted Sensing)

So what does this tell us about the potential romance between INTJs and ENFPs? At first glance, what we see is that both personalities lead with Intuition and keep Sensing under wraps, not to mention, they use the opposite version of each. But they both use Introverted Feeling (Fi) and Extraverted Thinking (Te), just in the wrong order. And while that's good to know, it doesn't really tell you anything unless you know and understand what the functions do and are. So let's take a closer look at their primary function: Intuition.

INTJs use Introverted Intuition (Ni) and ENFPs use Extraverted (Ne), but what does that even mean? Well, thanks to that hand-dandy article Priebe wrote, Ne "generates new possibilities, synthesizes abstract ideas and picks up on connections in the external environment" and is "predominantly a future-oriented function that examines all the possibilities of what could happen next." Those who "lead" with Ne can be described as "excitable, entrepreneurial and highly creative. They intrinsically enjoy debating ideas, exploring various interests and they view almost everything in life as a challenge. They are constantly thinking about what to do or experience next, but have a difficult time sticking with just one idea or plan long-term."

Now, if you know ENFPs, some of that should sound pretty accurate. One of the main criticisms of ENFPs is that they have difficulty sticking to a plan and which has earned them the reputation of being "flighty." But hopefully you noticed the part that says Ne users see "almost everything in life as a challenge." Why does that matter? Because one of the (supposed) reasons why they like INTJs is because they find them challenging or they want to solve them. Speaking of INTJs, what is Ni?

Ni is said to form "a framework of how the world works based on thorough, abstract analysis of past and current events. It aims to identify the ‘essence’ of ideas, theories, people and situations in order to fit them into a larger schema." It's a "thinking function" that "aims to identify the optimal or most likely outcome of future events." Those who have it as their primary function are described as "intense, focused and highly perceptive of inconsistencies." They're also prone to experiencing "‘hunches’ or ‘aha’ moments that they may identify as epiphanies."

So, if you know your INTJs, that should sound a lot like them, right? I know for my money that it comes awfully close. So if Ni pretty much sums INTJs, why do I bring up Ne at all? Well, when I originally read Priebe's article, I didn't know what the four cognitive functions of INTJ are. While I admit Ni better describes INTJs, I think most INTJs, or at least I do, have a sense for Ne because when I first read the descriptions of each, I could not easily place INTJ with either one. I only concede to Ni because it's "closer," but there are some things in the realm on Ne that do describe INTJs: "generates new possibilities, synthesizes abstract ideas and picks up on connections in the external environment," "a future-oriented function that examines all the possibilities of what could happen next," "entrepreneurial and highly creative," and "intrinsically enjoy debating ideas, exploring various interests and they view almost everything in life as a challenge." While these characteristics may not be the result of Ne hiding somewhere in the INTJ personality, INTJs do have these qualities. And regardless of where they are from, if both INTJs and ENFPs share these qualities, it becomes much easier to understand why INTJs would favor ENFPs.

Going on next to Te and Fi, here it's not so much about what the functions are as it is about the fact that both personalities have these functions. Although they are used in a different order, an INTJ with a well-developed Fi can support and understand an ENFP and an ENFP with a well-developed Te can likewise be supportive and understanding of an INTJ. However, if both types are their stereotypical types, then the two are almost certainly doomed not to get along. But if both types build up that auxiliary function, they should get along fine.

Finally, what about Se versus Si? Well, just like with Ni and Ne, the two functions are actually very similar to each other. While Se does help to explain why INTJs prefer things like fine dining and classical artwork, it is my feeling that Si is a better descriptor for INTJs whereas Se better describes ENFPs especially when those who have a bunch of Si are said to think very highly of tradition. While it is true that neither personality is crazy about "doing things like they've always been done," INTJs can be extremely pragmatic and may default to tradition when they have no idea how to act in a scenario. As for ENFPs I can't really comment on what they would do because I don't know enough about them, but from what I've heard, Si seems to contradict a lot of that information just like how Se seems to contradict a lot of things that INTJs are known for.

But despite Se and Si, so long as ENFPs and INTJs understand and respect the difference between Ni and Ne, and they have both developed their tertiary functions, INTJs and ENFPs could be quite happy together.

One Love?

Now that I've proven how good INTJs and ENFPs can be together, let's look at some other research that contradicts everything I wrote. In an article called "Myers-Briggs Personality Type and Best Fit Relationships" by the site Mass Match, they spell out quite clearly what each type likes or doesn't like followed by a list of personalities who would be their best match, a possible match, and least likely to match.

For ENFP, they say things like "Love to talk about what is going on in their lives," "Will encourage their mates to grow," "Need to feel encouragement," and "Don't like to say it when their feelings are hurt." As for who their best possible matches are, Mass Match lists them as: INFJ, INFP, ENFJ, ENFP, and ESFJ. Where's INTJ? In possible matches. But wait--what does Mass Match say about INTJs?

Well, their description is pretty accurate, but for best matches, they say those would be ESTJ, INTJ, ISTP, and ENTJ. Where's ENFP? Again, in possible matches along with INTP, INFJ, and INFP. Of course, this doesn't gel so well with Priebe's research. According to her, most INTJs prefer ENFPs with ENTPs/-Js coming in second. Not to mention, INTJs appeal to INFPs, INFJs, INTPs, and ISFJs while the personalities who think they are truly hot stuff are ENFPs, ENFJs, ENTPs, and ISFPs. Some of Priebe's research matches Mass Match's claims, but some of it is pretty far off base. What does this mean?

Well, I don't think it means much of anything. There's no rule stating that INTJs and ENFPs have to like each other exclusively. And according to Mass Match, there are more ENFPs (6-8% of population) to go around than there are INTJs (3-4%), so of course not every ENFP can have an INTJ, and even according to Priebe's research, not every INTJ wants an ENFP. But I think there's a different problem here altogether. It seems to me that Mass Match may have come to the conclusions that they did because they only looked at the four letter personality or based their conclusions off the best known (stereotypical) traits of each personality whereas I believe Priebe actually did her research and bases her conclusions off the cognitive functions. Despite the discrepancy between these two sources, the main thing to remember here is that both INTJs and ENFPs have other options outside of each other.

If you want a more concise and clearer breakdown of the possible problems between INTJs and ENFPs, I recommend checking out this page from Tumblr.

What I Like About You

Despite all the relationship problems INTJs and ENFPs could have, they each have something the other is genuinely attracted to. Whether it's because as Update Spark puts it in their article "Sexy Thing In You Based On Your Myers-Briggs Personality Type," that ENFPs are attracted to INTJs meticulous and observant nature or the fact that they are "both fully present and other worldly" or that INTJs like ENFPs for their charm and "youthful need for adventure," these two are drawn to each other.

There's another article done by Odyssey called "4 Quotes That Will Resonate With Your Myers-Briggs Personality type" which offers two interesting quotes that ENFPs should like that I as an INTJ also really like. I would never say these quotes the way they're said, but I understand their meaning and appreciate their sentiments.

1. “It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for – and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. [...] I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool – for love – for your dreams – for the adventure of being alive.” – Oriah Mountain Dreamer

2. “Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman

As for myself, while I'm not sure if I've ever come across an ENFP or ever had a crush on an ENFP, I do get the feeling I would like to be in a relationship with an ENFP. Why? Well first of all, they sound cute, and heaven knows INTJs are not cute, but we still need cuteness in our lives. Secondly, they have an intense Intuition and vast intellect just like an INTJ. Cute and deep, that's a combination that can't be beat!

Also, when I play video games or watch anime, I do find myself attracted to the cute, outgoing, girly-girl. I do like the more serious minded girl and the shy, nerdy one, but the girl that sticks out is the extraverted cutie. For example, my Final Fantasy waifu is Rikku (specifically from FFX-2), despite the fact that Paine's attitude matches mine better and Yuna would make a great girlfriend for a stable, normal relationship.

Rikku: "Y, R, P--in position. It's show time, girls."

Another odd example is my Persona 4 waifu Rise Kujikawa. Is she girly? Absolutely. Is she kind of brazen and a bit of a show off? You bet. And has she spent a little too much time in the spotlight? Well, in the game, she is an Idol, so yes. But she is really cute, and she is susceptible to deeper thoughts and understanding. And my preference for Rise flies in the face of what seems like the more logical choices of Naoto, Chie, and Yukiko. Naoto is actually a very attractive girl (she's got them Danny DeVitos!), and she wants to be a cool, hard-boiled detective which is a profession an INTJ could thrive in. Then there's Chie who is quite the tomboy and ergo low maintenance, meanwhile there's Yukiko who is also very feminine, but quite mature. She's more a "lady" than a "girl." But despite those three, I just can't say no to Rise. (Although Naoto is a close second. [For more than just her boobs.])

Rise: "Senpai!"

Conclusion

I admit that typing Rise or Rikku as ENFP is damn near impossible since they're fictional characters, but despite that, the rest of the evidence and the other articles seem to paint a pretty clear picture. Although a relationship between an INTJ and ENFP will need some work and understanding, there's little doubt that these two would make a power couple, rocking the world while rocking each other's worlds. I know this article was written from the INTJ perspective and there's not a whole lot from the ENFP side, but as an INTJ who has very little experience with them, this is the best I can do. However, I would love to take the chance on an ENFP and see if she could actually be my soulmate. So if you're an ENFP, call me!

That's it for now, you guys. And man, was it a lot! Hopefully, I can get another article out this week, but it won't be original. However, I hope to have more original INTJ articles for you guys in the works. Until then, though...

Keep writing, my friends.

RWBY: The Top 10 Reasons Why Yang Should Be Your Favorite Character

Hey, everyone.

So to finish up my Top 10 Reasons Why This-Character Should Be Your Favorite series, we have the last member of Team RWBY, our sunny, little dragon, Yang Xiao Long. Once again, I'd like to thank my friend Michaela Roan and RWBY Wonderland admin Blake Belladonna for their help in making this list. If you want to join RWBY Wonderland, click this link: https://www.facebook.com/rwbywonderland/. And, if you guys want to make sure you don't miss the next series of RWBY posts, subscribe to my RWBY mailing list: http://eepurl.com/cWX8Fj. But if you really want to show me the love, support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.con/bryanclaesch.

Alright, then. Let's finish this bitch.



"Yang? Is that you?"

1. "Oh! I'm so proud of my baby sister!"

Yang and Ruby make for interesting siblings. Their proportions are different, their weapons are different, their hair is different, hell, they don't even have the same last name. But despite these differences, Yang still looks out for Ruby with great enthusiasm and she's been doing so for a long time. While we aren't told exactly when, I would estimate that it has been somewhere between 10 to 12 years ago (since Volume 1) when Summer was killed. This effectively cemented Ruby and Yang together as they no longer had a mother to rely on. With Yang being the older and likely feeling guilty for nearly getting the both of them killed, it's apt to say that Yang has practically become a surrogate mother to Ruby.

Something that struck me the other day was that it's never mentioned why Yang thinks it's the best day ever that Ruby gets to go with her to Beacon. Most older siblings would be annoyed if their little brother or sister got moved so far ahead that they ended up going to school together. But not Yang--she's super excited about it. We could assume it's because Yang just has that upbeat of a personality, but it's more likely Yang is relieved that she won't have to leave Ruby behind to fend for herself. I mean, do you remember in Players and Pieces where the Nevermore filled the battlefield with its quills? Do you remember how Yang rushed to help Ruby, and then the tight hug she gave Ruby after Weiss saved her from the Deathstalker? Yang hugs Ruby a lot in Volume 1. Then there's the part in The Shining Beacon where Ruby mentions that Yang used to read to Ruby every night before bed, an activity that is usually performed by a parent.

Another strange thought I had was that because Ruby is so much like Summer and Summer was the only mother Yang ever knew, and so by cherishing Ruby the way she does, Yang is holding onto and cherishing the memory of Summer. No longer able to love her mother, Yang turns to her baby sister and makes sure to love Ruby the way Summer deserved. Hence, Yang becomes the over-doting big sister.

"Please, stop..."

2. "I'm not asking you to stop. Just please, get some rest. Not just for you, but for the people you care about and who care about you."

Monty had an interesting idea behind introducing the characters of RWBY. It was his intention to make them all look like stock, one-dimensional characters, and then as the show went on, to fill them out. Not many writers have the balls to do that since most readers, editors, and publishers won't even give a writer the time to set something up like that. Once they look stock, no one thinks to read on or care about what happens to them in the story.

When we're introduced to Yang, she's supposed to come off as the super extraverted, quintessential party girl. Always looking for fun and always on the move. But Yang is more than that. She deeply cares about her friends and family, and their relationships are very important to her. Remember when she started crying in Destiny when she thought Blake didn't believe her for being attacked by Mercury? Yeah, a skin-deep, party girl wouldn't do that. A party girl also wouldn't have a never-ending search for the mother she never knew. While Yang could have lived her life as she saw fit and think of Raven as dead to her, she doesn't. Yang genuinely cares about her friends and family, and she feels the sting of rejection or disbelief quite deeply. All of which will make Yang and Blake's reunion very interesting to see.

3. "Wait! Yang! Is she alright?"
"Uh... She's uh... She's gonna be alright. I think she's just... I think it's just going to take some time for her to get used to things. She's too strong to let this stop her."

Yang is a strong girl. Physically, but also mentally. She has such a strong will that you could call her stubborn, such as in her fight against Neo. And while Yang did take some time getting used to only having one arm, she didn't let it interfere with her day-to-day to life, and she hated how her incident with Adam left her with PTSD. Not wanting to be pitied or looked after by Tai, she took a chance on the prosthetic arm from Atlas in an attempt to re-forge her life and achieve a degree of normality that was more normal than being without it. Something I've mentioned elsewhere is that a good indication of Yang's inner state is her hair since it's so important to her and her vision of self. When it was tied up, so was she. But when her hair flows freely, that's when she's ready to burn brighter than everyone else.

4. "Yes, Junior. I have several. But instead of 'sweetheart,' you can just call me 'sir!'"

You ever seen Persona 4: The Animation? Do you remember the scene where Yu and Yosuke are sharing a tent with Kanji and he gets irritated with them for thinking he's gay, so he declares he's going to go sleep with the girls since they had more balls than them? Yeah, Yang is one of those girls that Yu referred to when he said, "For some girls, that is true."

Whether you call it balls, confidence, daredeviltry, or brash, Yang isn't afraid of doing what needs to be done in order to achieve her objective. She'll grab a guy by the balls, she'll destroy his club, she openly declares that she'll be turning heads, and she'll put herself at risk to help her friends. Of course, though, if Yang can have fun while doing it, she's going to. Let's not forget how she giggled after being launched off the cliff in The First Step.

Yang's favorite ballet is the Nutcracker.
(Is it true that Barbara actually grabbed Jack's balls once?)

5. "You're Yang Xiao Long. My sunny, little dragon."

Whenever we see Yang, we usually see her smiling and having fun. She's very positive and upbeat, and very few things get to her. In fact, it's unusual to see her bothered by something or even hurting. When she was bested by Neo, lost to Adam, and Blake didn't believe her or worse, ran away, those were all difficult moments for her. She's not one to sweat the small stuff. She can even take a jab thrown her way about her arm and her hair. Yang is emotionally resilient, and she can almost always find a reason to smile.

I need a better system than Print Screen.

6. Bumblebee

Did you honestly think I was talking about the ship? Well, if you read the Top 10 Reasons Why Blake Should Be Your Favorite Character you wouldn't have. (Maybe I'll do a blog post on why I hate the ship so much and why it's actually a terrible idea.)

But, anyway, Yang's got a bike. And bikes are pretty cool. While I may not like bikers for their impetuous attitudes, I find it difficult to squash my desire for a motorcycle. I have fond memories of being a kid and zipping around my neighbor on my bike. What could be better than strapping 1000 CC's of power to that experience. And so, just like with Ruby and scythes, the cool factor of Bumblebee helps make Yang cool(er). And as far as we've seen, she's a safe and responsible driver, but very capable and skilled when the time comes. Which is more than we can say for the Fake AH Crew and their talents on bikes. (To be fair though, most of those blunders are Gavin.)

7. This Porridge Is Too Cold

Just like how Ruby is a great interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood, Yang is a great interpretation of Goldilocks. In fact, I'd say Yang is a huge improvement on the original. For one, she isn't a stupid kid who committed a B&E, raided someone else's food, messed up the ass grooves on their favorite chairs, and then invited herself over for a slumber party. And the only notable thing about Goldilocks was that she was a dumb blonde and a criminal. Yang's neither of those things, and her hair has more meaning to who she is than just a color. Still though, I'd love a direct reference or joke back to Goldilocks in RWBY. The scene where she killed a couple of Ursas isn't enough.

8. "Laugh all you want. I'll be turning heads tomorrow night."

Well, I told you all it was coming, and here it is: Yang is the sexiest member of Team RWBY and possibly the whole show. Which is a bold statement considering Yang has some pretty stiff competition from the likes of Neo and Emerald. Hell, even Glynda has a number of very committed fans. But for me, the victor is Yang, and it's not just because of two very large and obvious reasons. She's got a great ass, too! No, I kid. Although it did look good in the Yellow Trailer. But the reason why I saw Yang is the sexiest character is because she has both a banging body and a fun personality. Everyone wants to have fun and we all prefer to be around pretty things rather than ugly, so that instantly makes Yang a winner across the board. True, my RWBY waifu is probably Weiss and Ruby is the most adorable, but who wouldn't want to at the very least date Yang? It'd be a good time.

Did you know that Monty based Yang's dress off one
Marilyn Monroe wore?

9. Dumbass: I'm a master of Karate! Hi-ya!
Smartass: I'm a master of Ka-chuk.
Dumbass: What's Ka-chuck?
Smartass: *Pulls out a shotgun and pumps it*

The Ember Celica. Who in their right mind would strap a shotgun to a gauntlet? I criticize, but just like combining a rifle with a scythe, it's actually a great idea. It combines a long range weapon with a short range one, and who wouldn't want to attach a shotgun to a gauntlet. I'm pretty sure a lot of people think the hidden blade from Assassin's Creed is one of the coolest things ever, so why not attach a shotgun to a gauntlet? Never mind the fact you're strapping a shotgun's recoil straight to your arm. But, hey, if we're going to get that picky, we're going to have to dismantle every weapon in RWBY. So let's just enjoy the Ember Celica as it is and imagine ourselves punching someone we really don't like with them.

10. "With each hit, she gets stronger. And she uses that energy to fight back. That's what makes her special."

Yang's semblance. The ability to take damage and then dish it back twice as hard. It's a pretty good one. Admittedly, it has some flaws and Yang isn't always strong enough to take the hit, but come on, she's a friggin' Super Saiyan! And what's more, she's a female Super Saiyan. There aren't any of those in DBZ, and if Yang could fire a Kamehameha (my autocorrect recognizes Kamehameha but not saiyan), it'd be the hypest shit. In fact, I'm kind of surprised no one has done any art of Yang using the Kamehameha. (Fan artists! Don't let me down!)

But anyway, we've all had those moments when we get so pissed, we give people that "You're so dead" face and we want the vehemence of our anger to be reflected in how hard we hit them. There'd probably be a lot fewer trolls if that was true. Too bad we aren't all Super Saiyans, but at least Yang is.

"Oh! Looks like Yang is angry. And you wouldn't like her when she's... upset."

And there you have it. The Top 10 Reasons why Yang should be your favorite character. It you guys think I missed any, go ahead and add them in the comments below.

Keep writing, my friends.
