Anyone have any recommendations for shows, movies, books, etc with ISFJ characters who aren't stereotyped and boring? I want them!!

Kaneki Ken - ISFJ 2w1 - Tokyo Ghoul

edit: Sailor Mercury is also often typed ISFJ. Probably a 5 though.

edit: Arugably Dr. Watson from BBC Sherlock

Also, I'm just going to share this because i think it's important:

There's a BBC production of Little Dorrit that's pretty good. I'm pretty sure the main character is an ISFJ.

The only one that I know of is The Narrator/Jack from Fight Club. Definitely not your typical ISFJ, that's for sure!

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC.

Not an isfj. Not relatable to me really, and hopefully not to you...

But a FASCINATING character. Fucking fascinating. I havent got a type nailed down because typing 'abnormals is... Hard and 'glitchy'- but Cathy Ames from East of Eden...

Its been a ride. An again, fascinating one.

One I would recommend if you want a really really well done portrait of a psychopath and their effects on just... Everything in their life.

Anyways. Its the book Im reading and... Though it isnt a quick read, Id recommend it.

All the characters are really well done! There might even be a really well done ISFJ(adam perhaps? Shot in the dark- not definite. Only possible)

Anyways... Yeah.

Hm, well, I know that Tsubaki from Soul Eater is an ISFJ. One of my favorite anime characters of all time. ;)

I think Carol from the Walking Dead is an ISFJ as well. Other than those two, I can't think of any more.

Marlin from "Finding Nemo"/"Finding Dory" is a great example. Sadly not a show or book though.

Movies are fine too! :)

I love finding Nemo!! I haven't seen it in years. I should watch it again. That, and then I should see Finding Dory!

Some anime ones since I know that's your scene:

Rem from Re:Zero is an ISFJ demon.

Makoto Naegi from the Danganronpa series (the games are better tho)

Jacuzzi from Baccano! is either ESFJ or ISFJ (socially anxious either way)
I think Chane is also ISFJ - stone cold assassin

In addition to Naomi (who is iconic) I think Rem in Death Note is also ISFJ. What is it with Rems being ISFJs?

As you already know, Asahi in Haikyuu :p

Hinata in Naruto - please don't watch her though she is literally made of cardboard.

Kotonoha from School Days deserved better

Yuki from Tsuritama is for sure ISFJ 6. Tsuritama is so good please watch it
