Overview
Erana characters are defined by their clear desires and rapid decision-making. They manage their decisions by managing their thoughts, often making quick progress. If they struggle to regulate their emotions, they can become scattered and unstable. Unlike Merlons, they are driven by the things they envision in their dream world and are not skeptical. Knowledge is perceived schematically, and the state of knowledge before it reaches the emotional domain is critical.
Their desires are usually centered around possession, leading to persistence and demanding behavior. They strive to fulfill their dreams and are proactive in seeking ways to achieve them. Trust is fundamental to them, and its loss can cause significant emotional turmoil. They maintain an internal order despite appearing disorganized externally, and their sociable and caring nature is balanced by their adaptability and quick changes.
