    Default Betas in Fiction!

    Alpha have an awesome Alpha fiction thread going, I searched for a Beta one, got kind of distracted so just came here and made one ^^.

    SLE.

    True Blood, Lafayette Reynolds (likely SEE though)

    Skins (UK), Cooke.

    Faith Lehane, Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

    Butch Coolidge, Pulp Fiction.

    Spinelli from the cartoon Recess

    Spike, from Buffy. (Though I don't see an SLE getting as pathetic as Spike did with the Buffy obsession and her character is EII ><! Also it's amusing that when they flashback to Spike's human life, he's an EII. I'm far too into this show, but it's total Beta awesomeness ^^.)

    IEI

    Chuck, Pushing Daisies

    Willow Rosenburg, Buffy The Vampire Slayer

    Helen Schlegel, Howards End

    Sophia, Vanilla Sky (& probably the character Sophia in the Spanish original, Open Your Eyes).

    The 'pies for breakfast girl' from Pulp Fiction. (Butch's girl)

    Angela - Une Femme Est Une Femme (A Woman Is A Woman) (Lol at the overexaggeration of IEI manipulation :wink:!)

    EIE

    Cathy, Wuthering Heights

    Justin Suarez, Ugly Betty

    Female protagonist in The Notebook. (forgot her name =/)


    LSI

    Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights

    Rochester, Jane Eyre (can't remember the character or book that well though).

    ^ Lol, sorry at how bare that is. I'm not good with LSI typings.


    Sorry, I feel I should have put up more vintage shows for the older people here but I can't think of any now. I will add more later.
    IEI, sp/sx 4w3.

    Edward Rochester is LSE. I think Heathcliff and Cathy are Gamma, but I'm not too sure about those two, though.

    Anyways, I was thinking about this earlier and compiled a list of possible Beta characters. I only used somewhat positive ones instead of the stereotypical Beta villain :wink:


    SLE

    Scarlett O'Hara- Gone with the Wind
    Satine - Moulin Rouge!
    Velma Kelly - Chicago

    IEI

    Viola - Shakespeare in Love
    Ashley Wilkes - Gone with the Wind
    Nienna - The Silmarillion
    Juliet - Romeo and Juliet
    Luna Lovegood - Harry Potter
    Rosemary Woodhouse - Rosemary's Baby

    LSI

    Mammy - Gone with the Wind
    Walt Kowalski - Grand Torino
    St. John Rivers - Jane Eyre
    Elena Montero - Zorro

    EIE

    Melanie Hamilton - Gone with the Wind
    Romeo - Romeo and Juliet
    Horace Slughorn - Harry Potter
    Christian (or IEI) - Moulin Rouge!
    Rachel Dawes - Batman Begins & The Dark Knight

    Regina George from Mean Girls is SLE. The part when she throws all the Burn Book flyers around the school is hot. Sorry, I just watched the movie last night.

    Mercutio from R&J is either EIE or SLE, but is definitely some variety of beta extrovert. In fact, that whole play is very beta. That's because we make for great drama.

    Cleopatra from Antony and Cleopatra is either IEI or EIE.

    Achilles in the Iliad really seems SLE, but I could be very wrong on that.

    The Joker in The Dark Knight is probably beta. My guess is EIE. (notice how he never really fights anybody; no real Se, but manufactures stuff that seems like Se.) Wouldn't it be interesting, though, if he was just a really messed up IEI? Also, randomly, my SLE friend thinks he's the Joker.

    Can't think of any more right now.
    Not a rule, just a trend.

    IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.

    Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...

    I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.

    Gilderoy Lockhart is EIE.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    I know this is really old, but sometimes when I feel like everyone around me is full of shit and it's stressing me out too much, I go into Joker mode, as a way to relieve the stress and have some Fe fun, LOL. But that might be any normal human being. I'm not sure. I usually keep my Fe hidden in public. Maybe I should be another type, but IEI fits the best intuitively.
