ENTP: The Debater; Cancer
The ENTP personality type is the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. Unlike their more determined Judging (J) counterparts, ENTPs don’t do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, but for the simple reason that it’s fun. No one loves the process of mental sparring more than ENTPs, as it gives them a chance to exercise their effortlessly quick wit, broad accumulated knowledge base, and capacity for connecting disparate ideas to prove their points. An odd juxtaposition arises with ENTPs, as they are uncompromisingly honest, but will argue tirelessly for something they don’t actually believe in, stepping into another’s shoes to argue a truth from another perspective. Playing the devil’s advocate helps people with the ENTP personality type to not only develop a better sense of others’ reasoning, but a better understanding of opposing ideas – since ENTPs are the ones arguing them.

Deeply intuitive and sentimental, Cancer can be one of the most challenging zodiac signs to get to know. They are very emotional and sensitive, and care deeply about matters of the family and their home. Cancer is sympathetic and attached to people they keep close. Those born with their Sun in Cancer are very loyal and able to empathize with other people's pain and suffering.Lack of patience or even love will manifest through mood swings later in life, and even selfishness, self-pity or manipulation. They are quick to help others, just as they are quick to avoid conflict, and rarely benefit from close combat of any kind, always choosing to hit someone stronger, bigger, or more powerful than they imagined. When at peace with their life choices, Cancer representatives will be happy and content to be surrounded by a loving family and harmony in their home.

Kendra proved to be so useful to him due to keen observation skills and an uncanny ability for persuasion, and took on the position of his assistant.

Born on a sweltering Dublin afternoon in July to Lucas and Olivia O’Reilly, Kendra Marie O’Reilly could not have come at a worse time. Olivia found herself stranded in her Dublin flat, her husband stuck in pediatric surgery, in the midst of her labor three weeks before her due date. Delivered in an emergency cesarean section, the umbilical cord having wrapped around her neck, her first exposure to the world was the harsh, cold air in her lungs and her mother’s warm, salty tears on her skin. Her father did not meet her until the forty-eighth hour of her life, Olivia caring for her newborn daughter alone. This pattern of isolation shaped their marriage and their daughter’s perception of home, always feeling slightly uncomfortable when her father was home, as though he were a visitor for whom she needed to be on her best behavior.

Raising her newborn daughter, a sickly child requiring much care and attention, Olivia abandoned her career as a legal secretary. As Kendra grew older, Olivia felt herself needing more purpose, and so they had a baby boy, Liam, when Kendra was three, and another daughter, Mia, two years later, hoping to strengthen the familial bond. A dedicated and world-recognized surgeon, Luke O’Reilly was an irreplaceable asset to anyone he worked with, but as a father and a husband, he was distant and tepid. There was something that unsettled him about his eldest child, while he loved her with the kind of love you can only spare your first born, he was terrified of the little girl. There was something oddly perceptive about his daughter, the kind of observational skills that were not commonplace in children, an uncanny ability to notice every little detail about everything she directed her attention to. There had always been a chasm splitting the distance between them, an almost physical aversion to one another. Daddy issues were abundant, especially when it came to the O'Reilly children, who took fatherly resentment to a new extreme. Liam had it the worst, growing up without a father to truly show him how to be a man, and even worse, a father that didn't seem able to be bothered to do so in the first place. At least the girls had each other, and their mother to rely on to show them how to be, Liam was unfortunately not so lucky. Oftentimes, Kendra felt the most guilt for that, knowing her brother had needed their father more than any of them. Truthfully, she was surprised her parents marriage has lasted this long, always constantly on the brink of splintering, for over 25 years, Olivia found several times over the years by all three children having broken into tears in the pantry, quiet sobs stifled immediately upon seeing their concerned faces.

Jaded, headstrong, and unapologetically opinionated, the weight of her parents’ troubled marriage heavy like the taste of copper on her tongue, Kendra lacked any desire for a legitimate relationship. She dreamed of a life of adventure, traveling the world and seeing what the world had to offer, convinced there had to be more to life than Ireland. Associating her home country with stagnation, Kendra set out to start her journey with a study abroad program at Columbia University in New York. Initially planning to stay no more than six months, she was unexpectedly taken with the culture. Falling in love with the insomniatic personality of the city, craving the richness of the sounds of bustling traffic and never-ending bustle, overwhelmed with so much variety on every street corner, Kendra was hooked. New York, her first love. And she didn’t want to leave, so she didn’t. Transferring to Columbia to finish her degree, Kendra completed her studies magna cum laude with a degree in sociology.

Fresh out of school with no experience and no lead on how she’d like to use that degree, Kendra floundered in several odd jobs for several months, mostly working temp jobs for various law firms around the city, until she found her niche. Gage Porter came into her life by chance, opening her up to a career she was made for with a carefully constructed, though ultimately falsely advertised, ad for a modeling job. Out of equal parts desperation and boredom, Kendra answered. What she suspected as a sleazy modeling shoot at the St. Regis Hotel turned out to be a trap set by one of Gage’s clients. He owned his own private investigation firm, a one-man operation, and typically dealt with wealthy, middle-aged housewives that studied the clauses of their prenuptial agreements with a magnifying glass in their downtime and spared no expense nailing down evidence of their cheating husbands’ slanderous affairs for their lawyers. At first, Kendra’s role was as the temptingly gorgeous and suspiciously available young woman at the bar that enticed them into an entrapment situation that secured the satisfaction of the housewives. After several months, however, she proved her worth as an observant and persuasive person, able to gather intel without being seen. She had another grand advantage that Gage did not, she was personable and sweet, resulting in a lot more success when she went digging for information.
