"What's your biggest fear?" "Being misunderstood." Ooo yup! Definite ENFP.

[u/crackwhore_mcgee]

I don't know what she is, but she's wonderful in this interview!

[u/Sonorus_Silencio]

I was very skeptical and didn't plan on watching the whole thing, but that was amazing. And yes, yes she seems like one.

[u/lovelyplum]

She's lovely and I'd guess ENFP too #joyful

[u/ccjomm]
