Pisces is one of the 12 zodiac signs that are deeply ingrained in astrology. People born between February 19th to March 20th fall under this sign, and they are known for their dreamy nature and highly empathetic personality. In literature and popular culture, Pisces individuals have been portrayed in various fictional characters. From sensitive and emotional protagonists to moody and brooding antiheroes, Pisces characters have added depth and complexity to stories across different genres.
In this fictional character section of the personality database, we will explore the different characteristics and traits that are common among Pisces characters. We will delve into their strengths and weaknesses, their motivations, and what makes them stand out from other zodiac signs.
The INFJ Personality Type
To understand INFJ Pisces fictional characters, it's essential to first grasp the INFJ personality type. INFJs are known for their intuition, empathy, and idealism. They often possess a deep understanding of human nature and are driven by a desire to make a positive impact on the world.
INFJs, as a general rule, give people a wide berth. And they are some deeply feeling and supernaturally sensitive creatures, but, it is this very sensitivity that can make them just the way it makes someone like Hamlet or Bob Dylan - by conventional standards - negative assholes. It seems that it is INFJ’s special prerogative as a type to deeply experience the dregs and heartbreak of human experience so that they may express it in some way.
Hamlet: An Archetypal INFJ Character
Hamlet is DEFINITELY an archetypal INFJ character. I could hardly think of a more INFJ character than Hamlet. In short, if Hamlet is not an INFJ, I don’t know what an INFJ is. I mean, this is an Ni dominant type of dude. He spends all his time philosophizing and forestalling action.

If you don’t know anything about the story of Hamlet, it’s basically about this prince of Denmark (that would be Hamlet himself) whose father has died. Hamlet, a very sensitive and intelligent young man, is in a state of immense grief at his father’s death. He is normally a very active and studious young lad, but, due to his father’s death, he has been thrown back on himself and now is questioning the whole of existence.
Hamlet has suspected that “there is something rotten in the state of Denmark”, which means that when he finds out that his uncle has killed his father (from his father’s ghost), he realizes that he had known that all along deep inside. For example, Hamlet is disillusioned with his queen mother because she has so quickly gotten over her grief for his dead father (her dead husband) and quickly remarried Claudius as if nothing has happened. That is Fi id in INFJ.
Hamlet’s character is basically taking his deep grief at this father’s death and using that as a base from which to slander and curse the whole world as a big stinking pile of bullshit that doesn’t amount to diddly-dick. And on top of that, he is such a coward because he can’t bring himself to just end it all.
Hamlet is basically an INFJ character in the throes of Fi id throughout the whole play. OK, there is more to it than that and you definitely should read Hamlet for yourself because it is truly one of the greatest works of English literature ever produced. It is a story to ponder.

Why would anyone want to exist in this world with all its heartbreak, deceit, and injustice? With a bare bodkin? The fair Ophelia! And by opposing end them? Devoutly to be wish’d.
The Fi Scorpio and Fi Pisces Id of INFJ
That statement pretty much sums up the gist of the Fi Scorpio id of INFJ. What I’m saying is that even though Fi Scorpio is negative in orientation, for INFJ this is a highly positive and productive negativity. It gets things done. For example, it gave Bob Dylan a whole career.
Now, if we are talking Fi Pisces id of INFJ, that is a whole other story. Yes, that is where you will see some of the finest degrees of empathy and love for humanity. This is the very origin of the poetic impulse. Love. Unconditional love. “Trembling with tenderness”.
Well, it’s the fault of the world. If the world wasn’t so damn heartbreaking, then, an INFJ would have no desire to throw poison and bile at it.
You see, this Scorpio Fi id I speak of is not here to be nice. That’s actually the other side of the Fi id I was alluding to earlier - Fi Pisces. Here is where INFJs are going to be administering some stings. Waking people up.
