5 Non Conformists Anime Characters
Yuri Plisetsky
Being raised by his paternal grandfather in Moscow, Russia, he is the second russian character introduced! He and his grandfather have a very close bond – way closer than the bond with his mother – and hence they are very much attached to each other.
Yuri is an avid skater who has been practicing this sport from early on. He is one of the anime characters who falls into this enneagram category! He is nicknamed the Russian Fairy because of his slender body, short height and awesome skating ice skating moves!
However, Yuri is quite different off the skating field where he is very graceful and delicate with his behaviour. He is quite confrontational in the sense that if he is angry or upset he will resort to yelling at others and even using foul language. He can be egocentric in the sense that he only understands things from his own perspective and this may explain why he gets so angry.
His self confidence can take on an aura of arrogance however, he is an idealist and may even become self critical of himself and his performance on the field.
Nonetheless, his softer side of personality is visibly apparent with his grandfather and those very few people whom he calls friends.
Black Star
This anime character is from the anime series of Soul Eater where is shown to be a well built but short boy who has blue hair in the form of spikes. He has green eyes that turn into blue stars when he is angry and this character is surrounded by an aura of self confidence that closely resembles that of arrogance!
He is an inspiring warrior who wants to possess the best skills and hence works very hard taking practical steps to actually get himself where he wants to be. However, he wants to be the center of attention where people can admire his capabilities.
Stein claims that Black Star is self centered; to the extent that he remains in himself and does not consider the reality of things going on around. Also his arrogance possibly takes on a more narcissistic nature!
Black Star has no issues in expressing how he feels; he gets irritated by those whom he does not like.
Sosuke Aizen
Sosuke Aizen is the former captain of the 5th Division in the Gotei 13. After a war against Soul Society with an army of Arrancar, Aizen faced defeat by Ichigo Kurosaki and was sealed away by Kisuke Urahara only to be later imprisoned for his crimes.
He is one of those anime characters in this category of enneagram type 8w7 who has defining leadership qualities that earn him much respect and admiration. He is polite and soft spoken and respects those around him; he addresses his subordinates by their names which they appreciate and like.
He has good crisis management skills and rarely shows that he is in distress or in a panic mood; in fact, he will remain calm and carry out small talk to make light of a situation or while he is trying to figure out a plan. This small talk usually angers those who he converses with!
He is a good planner who is logical and practical hence his plans make sense and can be executed well.
However, one must not be fooled by Sosuke Aizen’s nature; in reality he is a smart and clever man who uses this disguise to fool others and manipulate them for what he really wants! In reality, he has little concern for others and wants to use them. Indeed he can pull off the good leader role, however, he uses his clever mind, aspiring qualities and self centered approach to get himself where he wants.
Kisame Hoshigaki
This anime character is driven by much motivation and a desire to be the best like other people of his type; he wants to truly be the one others fear when it comes to battle. He is ruthless in how he behaves with the enemy and this shows his level of confidence and desire to aspire and be successful. For example, when they caught Naruto Uzumaki, he suggested cutting off his legs so that not only could he not escape but also so that it would be easier to carry him.
Despite his egocentric attitude, he is very intelligent in terms of observing how the enemy behaves during battle; he can determine the logic behind their moves and attack them accordingly.
Biscuit Krueger
Biscuit Krueger is a Double-Star Stone Hunter who was hired by Battera to clear the video game Greed Island following the auction for the game in Yorknew City. She prefers to be called Bisky.
Although she likes to take on the form of a young girl, Biscuit is actually very muscular and large in appearance regardless of the fact that whatever form she takes she is still quite strong.
She may seem cute and harmless, but it is his very appearance she uses to get necessary information, attain her goals and beat her opponents in combat. She is deceitful and blunt and is not scared of anyone. She however, is easily persuaded once she is complemented on her looks.
