The Five ISFJ Archetypes — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal & Water
Every Hearthkeeper takes care of people first. The five elements just decide what that costs her. Wood grows for everyone else and forgets to leave any room to grow herself. Fire gives warmth until the one giving it runs cold. Earth grows the people around her and somehow never gets grown in return. Metal cares so precisely you'd never even notice it happening — which is exactly the point. Water moves like a tide: felt by everyone nearby, seen by almost no one. Same devotion, five very different ways of disappearing into it.
