Ready to see who you’re most like?

Mostly A’s: You are Eun-ji the faerie Vandagyre! Peaceful, gentle, and kind, you are nonetheless no pushover, as you will fight ferociously for a good cause. Your shy, quiet nature makes it difficult for you to open up to most people, but when you find someone you click with, you are a devoted friend. Really the only thing limiting you is yourself, as you may find it difficult to have enough self-confidence to see what others see in you.

Mostly B’s: You are Ganzorig the Tyrannian Lupe! Life may not have been kind to you, so you’ve put up all sorts of defenses so you don’t get hurt again. Still, when you let people into your life, you are a loving and doting friend who is fiercely protective. Although you may like to give off a certain aura of intimidation so no one tries to mess with you, you are not overly concerned with appearances, and as such are much wiser than you look—and much nicer, too.

Mostly C’s: You are Min the eventide Aisha! You are an unabashed crusader who won’t let go of any cause worth fighting for. You hold your family, your homeland, and any other group you identify with near and dear to your heart, and you would gladly do anything for them. You have strong opinions and are not afraid to voice and debate those opinions with others, and call them out when you feel they’re being stupid. But it’s all because you care.

Mostly D’s: You are Wai Ren the relic Kougra! Power is what’s most important to you, whether that’s feeling in control of a situation or having authority over others. This may be due to deep hurts in your past, however, and at your core you are a rather different person: kindhearted, caring, and sensitive. Either way, you are a formidable foe due to your strategic mind and tenacity.
