Popularly referred to as the “advocates” or “counselors.” INFJs tend to make observations about people they deem interesting. Though they are kind and generous towards others, INFJs are more likely to be cognitive introverts.
Talented idealists, these individuals are thoughtful and never break away from their principles. INFJs have Introverted, Intuition, Feeling, and Judging personality attributes.
Here are the 15 anime characters who can be classified as INFJs.

However, she is shown to be borderline psychotic towards those who try to harm or seduce Yukki. The quintessential Yandere feels betrayed by her parents.
