Live-Contact Defender
What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”This person protects best when trouble is close and real. Distance does not sharpen them; face-to-face pressure does, because they can read danger through breath, posture, and timing. You’d find this in whoever steps between two angry people and keeps one calm hand visible until the heat drops.
Integration property: Stays composed while another person is trying to hit them
