The Tyrells:
Margaery Tyrell: Fe creative? Loras Tyrell: -- Olenna Tyrell: Logical Type?
The Greyjoys:I think they went with some stereotypical ‚scheming‘ manipulative feeling portrayal with Margaery. I cannot say I’m a fan of this. Takes away depth of character in my opinion. I have no real opinion on Loras. Regarding Olenna - dunno I find it kinda interesting, how she looks at things. Like how she is trying to discern, what a situation is really about, her way of thinking. Like in her very first appereance, when they talk about Loras*** or how in her opinion the Tyrells shouldn’t have gotten themselves into this whole ‚game‘/shouldn’t have gotten themselves entangled with the whole struggle for the iron throne. Idk... she has this kinda vibe that she is against being fooled or blinded like others in their quest for the iron throne or the promise of glory or whatever.
Like how she despises her son, whom she thinks is just dumb and blinded in his desire to play a part in the ‚game‘. Also interesting how she interrogates Sansa about Joffrey, because Margaery is about to to marry him. Cutting through stuff like ‚yeah yeah he is brave as a lion blah blah blah‘, but what is he really all about? This kinda way of thinking bleeds into her dialogues/mannerism, like you see how ironic, sarcastic, biting she can be and gets called Queen of Thorns therefore. Maybe, because of that shrewd intellect, it’s no coincidence that House Tyrell is the richest House in Westeros and can provide for their people (you know Highgarden as this place, where the whole wheat (?) or something grows). But we’ll see, how everything will turn out in the end for House Tyrell.
Olenna Tyrell: "Loras is young and very good at knocking men off horses with a stick. That does not make him wise. As for your fathead father..." Margaery Tyrell: "Grandmother! What will Sansa think of us?" Olenna Tyrell: "She might think we have some wits about us, one of us at any rate."
Theon Greyjoy: -- Balon Greyjoy: -- Asha Greyjoy: --
The Martells:I think Se/Ni for Theon. But dunno more. He has really one of the most hard hitting story arcs. For Asha I thought Se ego. ESFp maybe.
Oberyn Martell: ESFp - Ellaria Sand: ESI? - Doran Martell: Ni/Se?
I think Se base is not too off for Oberyn*** I think I could see him and Ellaria both as Se ego types with feeling. They are kinda chill. Kinda immersed into the sensory world. Like see the brothel scene. Feeling types, beacause of the core of their overall relationship. Like how Ellaria is a bastard, but together with Oberyn, who is kind of ‚technically‘ in standing above her, being a ‚prince‘ and all, but they are like in Dorne we don‘t care about this kinda shit. Bastard or not. Doesn’t really matter. Like they are both not married and their children are bastards, but Oberyn just acknowledges them as his. Ellaria as feeling base, because I thinks that’s closer to her core. Like how she tells Jaimie about her relationship with Oberyn.
How in Westeros the people might look down on it, but she says here it’s no problem, just like centuries ago the relationship between Cersei and him would have been no problem.*** Like static feeling. Her rationale (as soon as it is worked out) is not really going to change, it remains ‚static, the shit around is what changes and she is looking from her personal angle at it vs. an approach where rationale is depending on other persons like in Cersei or Sansa, to get by in their world of intrigue. They both vibe like idk... they just go against stuff and do whatever they see as fit/going with their own rationale, resisting the feeling rationale/judgement of others. I think In Season 5 you can also see an Intuition vs. Sensing conflict between Doran and Ellaria.
Like after Oberyns death she demands war against the Lannisters and Doran is like I will mourn about my brother, but I will not start a war. And Ellaria fumes, demands revenge, starts to poke him like ‚how many of your brothers and sisters do the have to kill, before you start doing sth.?‘ Doran is like, I know how war looks like, I have seen the bodies on the battlefields here in Dorne, I will not drag my people/Dorne into this. Like Ellaria demands decisive action here and know. She is more pressing. Doran is more cautious in his stance, more factoring consequences in and because he resorts to diplomacy I think maybe also more feeling (Fe?).
That's the conflict between them. Ellaria is more rash, downfall can be for her, that she gets herself into something, that she cannot deal with or that starts to get to big for her. Like not factoring all the consequences in. Also see how it went down for Oberyn in the end. Doran is more cautious, downfall for him is that he might never get to take any decisive action, that people get fed up and overthrow him. That's kind of the sew saw between these two poles. Maybe you could argue for Se- Polr for Doran, but it’s kinda said, how Doran and Oberyn are kind of close with each other and the way how their relationship is described, it's more along the lines of both balancing out these poles in the other.
On a personal note: I found the whole vibe and scenery of Dorne really interesting. Very oriental. The scenery of the Watergardens – really beautiful.
***Above all Oberyn is a deeply passionate man, with a hot temper that often leads him into duels and grudges, but in equal measure this also makes him deeply loyal to those he cares about, such as his siblings, his paramour Ellaria, and his daughters. Oberyn's overall attitude is that life is short, and one must enjoy all of life's pleasures while one can - thus his sexual adventures have become infamous, and popular rumor has it that he must have had sex with half of the people he has ever met on both sides of the Narrow Sea. Oberyn is a deeply honorable man, but his philosophy in life is that he doesn't care about the negative opinions of others - he would rather live life on his own terms, openly challenging his enemies and risk destruction rather than live by someone else's rules.***"You think I disapprove, why? Because people disapprove of that sort of thing where you are from? They disapproved of Oberyn and me where you are from. Here, no one blinked an eye. A hundred years ago, no one would of blinked an eye at you, if you'd been named Targaryen. It's always changing, who we're supposed to love, and who we're not. The only thing that stays the same is we want who we want." ―Ellaria to Jaimie Lannister about love.*** He suffers from a severe case of gout, which mostly prevents him from walking and restricts him to a wheelchair.
Unlike his more hotheaded and aggressive brother, Oberyn, Doran is a pensive, calculating, and patient man who always waits and observes before making his next move. Despite their different personalities, the two brothers were very close. While Oberyn could indulge in the wayward Dornish ways, challenging whomever he liked regardless of the consequences, Doran was raised to be more responsible as the heir to the Dornish throne. He truly cares for both his people and his family, and would never make a decision that would go against their interests.
However, this is often against their wishes. Doran has also been a witness to war and was deeply marked by its consequences. As such, he often tries to find a solution that avoids waging war, even if the honor of House Martell has been offended. This, along with his physical weakness, gives some people the impression that he is weak-willed and can be easily dominated, but this is misleading; Doran is just as ruthless and decisive as any other member of House Martell. He's simply better at hiding it - until the moment that he strikes.
I am not blind, nor deaf. I know you all believe me weak, frightened, feeble. Your father knew me better. Oberyn was ever the viper. Deadly, dangerous, unpredictable. No man dared tread on him. I was the grass. Pleasant, complaisant, sweet-smelling, swaying with every breeze. Who fears to walk upon the grass? But it is the grass that hides the viper from his enemies and shelters him until he strikes. - Doran to the Sand Snakes
[Doran] is a cautious man, a reasoned man, subtle, deliberate, even indolent to a degree. He is a man who weighs the consequences of every word and every action. – Tywin Lannister to Tyrion Lannister
"Many in Dorne want war. But I've seen war. I've seen the bodies piled on the battlefields. I've seen the orphans starving in the cities. I don't want to lead my people into that hell." ―Doran Martell
I have worked at the downfall of Tywin Lannister since the day they told me of Elia and her children. - Doran to Arianne Martell
Your father keeps his secrets well, Prince Quentyn. Too well, I fear. - Barristan Selmy to Quentyn Martell
