What exactly do you mean by that? Like, Meyers-Briggs personality types? Or just an overall personality for your character?

Hey sorry for not making this clear, I meant Overall personality for my character, I'm looking for something unique if you have any ideas!
Okay- I have like, 873552788347627893847543 tropes that I love- here I'll just list em haha
- Aggressive, angsty and rage-filled but also like, four feet tall
- Gentle, soothing and calming person that's really smart. Probably drinks herbal teas.
- Happy go-lucky, upbeat kinda person- Relentlessly optimistic and 291863% oblivious to jokes and metaphors
- Hot comical relief with a self esteem level of -38626 and sleep cycle so messed up the only thing that keeps them alive is coffee and memes
(Bonus points if the comical relief has a messy family situation) - Quiet, stoic, serious tough guy that's actually super sweet and protective once you get to know them
- Naive lil' idiot that gets themself into so much trouble, the only thing keeping them alive is their friends and spite
- The nervous, shy kid with anxiety that everybody treats like the precious cinnamon roll they are (Bonus points if Shy Kid tries to be all tough but then also stays up all night staring fearfully at the curtain that looks vaguely like a shadow-demon standing in the corner.)
Alright, those are my favorites! I hope they were what you meant, haha- If you need any help, Pinterest is a great place too look for ideas! (It's also super distracting tho, oof XD) Happy writing!
I love those, thanks, that's exactly what I meant! And I get you with the distracting pintrest XD (Please somebody save me!) thanks 3000! (To soon…WAY too soon…)

Hey, you want a unique personality type? I'm sure no one else is unlucky enough to have mine, I basically will only go with the flow and basically never say a word about fairness, ect. which is why I have naturally attracted a lot of toxic friendships.
Personally I'm a big fan of "dumbass with a heart of gold, literally has no idea what they're doing but they have a steel-set sense of honor and will follow their loved ones to the end of the earth".
I also quite like "emotionally constipated leader of the group who survives solely on coffee, redbull, and snark".
Thank guys, y'all rock!

No problem, and thank you!
My personal favorite is my character who's completely insane. An actual mental case, but at the same time super loveable. Even if there's something dark and twisted inside of her.
Anybody got any more? I'm looking for something for a girl I'm trying to deepen
Doesn’t think themselves good with people and is super awkward and has a hard time understanding people and jokes go way over their head but is actually super caring if they’re the oldest in a room of kids or anyone who just needs someone to listen.
(Nice, I like it!)

There are lists online, like this one https://screencraft.org/2018/07/09/99-archetypes-and-stock-characters-screenwriters-can-mold/
Oh cool, thanks!

To be honest, this was also how I felt about myself back when I was in my high school's acapella group. I was an asshole, to be certain, but I also was one of the few people that knew music theory and kept people on track. My dancing and choreography were shit, though. I figured if I could sing well enough, no one would care that I had two left feet.

Oh, mood. I can sing well enough but I can't dance for the life of me.
Some that I love are:
The super smart character that knows basically everything but is too big of a jacka** to help anybody out with stuff.
The sweetheart that is the kindest thing ever but will kick ur butt if you ever touch the people they love.
The very formal and almost uptight character that never goes out of their comfort zone but slowly starts to relax and let loose because of another character.
The tired and sad kiddo that doesn’t give two sh*ts and could probably beat ur a**.
The super friendly, outgoing character who’s so outgoing they’re almost annoying.
The hot headed one who has some anger issues but really means well.
That’s all I got right now lol
