• Joy (Joy)1110Optimistic and positive; team coreThis is great, just be Riley’s exclusive joy forever!RoleRiley’s joy, Emotion Headquarters supervisorAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityBioluminescence, personification of happiness, joy empowerment, etc.As the chief emotion officer at Riley’s Headquarters, Joy is a materialized golden energy body, controlling the storage and recall of all happy memories. She possesses a naturally radiant, sun-like personality, firmly believing that 'happiness can solve all problems,' and even attempted to cover up Riley’s sadness with rainbow candies and silly dances. During her time in Minnesota, almost all the memory orbs she controlled were golden, until she faced an adolescence crisis after moving to San Francisco—when Riley broke down over losing her hockey team, Joy was expelled from the console for the first time. This period of exile forced her to learn to collaborate with Sadness. In the second film, she embraces new emotions with a more mature outlook, finally realizing the philosophy that 'true happiness requires embracing all emotions,' and her bioluminescent ability is upgraded to an emotional resonance light wave.Your personality is similar to Joy’s; you are a radiant little sun, a natural energy conductor. You possess the gift of transforming difficulties into opportunities, always bringing laughter when friends are down. You are particularly skilled at finding joy in small things, turning mundane routines into colorful balloons, enabling others to find the courage to break free in your smile. Even in the darkest moments, you’ll point to the crack and say, 'Look, that’s where the light begins to grow.' What’s more valuable is that this isn’t blind optimism, but genuine, positive, and fervent. You excel at being an 'emotional adhesive' in a team; when others are caught in anxiety, you keenly sense it and don’t hesitate to offer help. Precisely because of this, you, who heal yourself and others with optimism, have excellent interpersonal relationships and a wonderful attitude towards life.26a2c2//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/1.png
• Anxiety (Anxiety)0000Prepared for the unexpected; overthinkingI’m Anxiety, one of Riley’s new emotions, it’s so exciting to join Headquarters!RoleRiley’s anxietyAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilitySuper speed (due to high energy)This new emotion, introduced in the second film, has purple lightning-like patterns all over and is the embodiment of anxiety awakened during Riley’s adolescence. She acts like a never-resting computer, capable of simulating 300 disaster scenarios instantly and manipulating the console by releasing electricity from her fingertips. Her personality is a mix of neurotic urgency and protectiveness, often causing chaos due to over-defensiveness (e.g., making Riley lie about her period to avoid speaking in class). Her core conflict lies in her desire to prove her worth, yet she is ostracized by other emotions for creating too many “safety alerts.” During the hockey tryout crisis, it was her ability to anticipate Val’s potential mistakes that prompted Joy to devise Plan B, ultimately leading to her transformation from a “crisis creator” to a “strategic analyst.”Your personality is similar to Anxiety’s: rational, composed, like a precisely operating radar that always catches potential storms even when the waters are calm. You possess unique survival wisdom, excelling at using advanced critical thinking to weave a protective net for important matters, which is why you can always anticipate 90% of potential life crises, like carrying an invisible radar with you. When others are blindly optimistic, you meticulously check every detail, like attaching a double safety rope to a kite. If friends plan camping, you check the weather in advance, pack mosquito repellent, and even remember the nearest hospital route. Three days before a group assignment deadline, you’ve already prepared backup plans from Plan B to Plan Z. Others might say you live a tense life, but this is actually extreme tenderness hidden beneath anxiety—just like Anxiety uses data streams to help Riley avoid countless pitfalls. You are particularly adept at transforming “what ifs” into action guides, using comprehensive contingency plans to help your team avoid 80% of traps. This clear awareness of the future is not groundless worry, but stems from cherishing and protecting beautiful things.ff7827//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/2.png
• Anger (Anger)1001Short-tempered; upholds justiceThis is Anger, he’s really obsessed with 'fairness'RoleRiley’s angerAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityHead erupting in flames when angry, etc.Anger, a red cube with a volcanic crater on his head, is the extreme projection of Riley’s sense of justice. He is hot-tempered but adheres strictly to principles, believing the world must operate according to “fair procedures.” He erupts with magma upon encountering queue-jumping or rule-breaking. In the San Francisco pizza shop incident, he first triggered memory orb contamination when Riley was forced to eat broccoli, but he also used his flames to melt outdated “perfect daughter” core memories. In the second film, he learns to channel his rage into tactical outbursts on the hockey field and even develops a “magma barrier” to protect other emotions from being consumed by abstract thoughts in the brain.Your personality is similar to Anger’s; you are a clear-cut guardian of rules, an unquenchable fire of justice, possessing a sharp gaze that sees through pretense. When you witness injustice, you erupt like a volcano, releasing energy to change the status quo: you’ll directly confront queue-jumpers and bravely stand up for the bullied. This fiery nature is not recklessness but using fervent emotions to melt the icy indifference. You are particularly skilled at transforming anger into action, like using thunder to wake up those pretending to sleep. Those you’ve protected know that this flame pulses with the purest passion—you never burn for yourself, but always stand up for the vulnerable. It is this courage to detest evil that makes you an indispensable “moral compass” in a team, teaching everyone what kind of fervent light is needed to defend boundaries.e24e26//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/3.png
• Sadness (Sadness)0111Emotionally sensitive; heals the soulCrying calms me, letting me ponder the weight of life’s difficultiesRoleRiley’s sadnessAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityMaking memories sad, summoning storm cloudsSadness, a blue tear-shaped emotion, was once seen as a “malfunctioning component” of the emotion team. She can instantly cast a shadow over any memory orb but also possesses the deepest empathy. Her personality combines sensitivity with resilience, silently weaving a safety net when others break down—it was she who guided Riley to cry at the Minnesota farewell, releasing suppressed grief. In the second film, she becomes a “psychological anchor” for the new emotions; when Anxiety falls into a data storm, she uses a precise “emotional rain” to cool down the overheated system. Her hidden ability, “sadness resonance,” can even repair shattered core memory orbs.Your personality is similar to Sadness’s: understanding, gentle, and peaceful, like a moonlight-infused lake with the soft power to illuminate the depths of the soul. When the world is noisy, you always soothe others' inner turmoil with quiet ripples. As a natural empath, you can read the hidden disappointment in a friend’s unsent message and detect the fatigue behind your parents' smiles. Your excellent empathy and kind nature make you particularly good at understanding darker emotions. Those you’ve supported know that your empathy isn’t about wallowing in sadness but about creating space for healing. This appreciation for vulnerable emotions also makes you your friends' most trusted haven; whether in joy or sorrow, they can openly express themselves to you. For you, vulnerability is precisely the softest armor, proving that truly strong people are never afraid to show their scars.287bce//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/4.png
• Fear (Fear)0010Cautious and meticulous; guards safetyThis is Fear, he’s Riley’s dedicated safety consultantRoleRiley’s fearAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityAssessing risks and crises in daily activitiesFear, wrapped in purple neural lines, is like a humanoid radar, specializing in scanning for potential threats around Riley. He is timid and cautious but extremely dedicated. He once caused Riley to develop phobias about her new school due to over-defensiveness, but he also successfully warned of a cracked ice danger. In the second film, he evolves with “crisis probability calculation” ability, capable of simultaneously tracking 52 risk parameters (e.g., social awkwardness index, sports injury coefficient). During the “adolescent storm” in the brain, he uses fear energy to construct a protective shield, safeguarding Headquarters from the deluge of memories, proving that “moderate fear is essential for survival.”Your personality is similar to Fear’s: practical and reliable, like a 24-hour security guard. You seem to possess animal-like survival instincts, a walking “survival manual,” scanning every corner for crises with sensitive probes. When everyone else is charging headlong, you always calmly remind them when they’re getting too carried away: “The stairs are icy,” “Don’t leave your bag in a blind spot.” This caution isn’t cowardice but stems from caring about the people and things around you, and having high internal expectations, which is why you always think one step further and do a little more. You are particularly skilled at transforming fear into a protective shield, using pre-rehearsed danger scenarios to buy your team 90% of the time, making decisions easier. It is this clear awareness of the world that makes you the most reliable lookout during a nighttime voyage.9549f7//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/5.png
• Disgust (Disgust)0001Picky and critical; keeps distanceTime to make room for new emotions!RoleRiley’s disgustAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityKeeps Riley away from disgusting thingsDisgust, a green fashionista, is Riley’s aesthetic and moral gatekeeper. She establishes defense mechanisms through eye rolls and sharp remarks. From broccoli to hypocritical friends, she uses an “aversion barrier” to filter out all harmful elements. In Minnesota, her excessive pickiness led to Riley having a narrow social circle; after moving to San Francisco, however, she used her sharp judgment to identify genuine friend Val. The second film reveals her abilities extend beyond repulsion; she can also awaken Riley’s self-awareness through “disgust resonance”—when Riley was forced to attend an undesirable party, it was Disgust who activated a “soul-out-of-body” mode to preserve her autonomy.Your personality is similar to Disgust’s; you seem to come with a built-in “fake-persona detection system,” instantly seeing through others' pretenses, which allows you to navigate various life scenarios effectively. You refuse to let negative emotions and unworthy people contaminate your life—just like Disgust erects a defensive barrier for Riley. This ability stems from your acute observation skills and excellent critical thinking; you can clearly and quickly perceive others' intentions and emotions, and swiftly judge whether they align with you or are beneficial, thus making decisions. Precisely because of this, you always manage to avoid negative people and things that are not on your wavelength, instead choosing to preserve worthwhile relationships or invest in fulfilling careers and hobbies. While outsiders might see you as somewhat “unconventional,” you don’t care about such opinions.84af19//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/6.png
• Ennui (Ennui)0101Lazy and decadent; passively slackUgh, Ennui. That’s what you call 'boredom.'RoleRiley’s ennuiAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityBody flexibilityEnnui, a grey, slimy emotion appearing in the second film, represents the typical nihilism of adolescence. He slumps in the corner like melting ice cream, speaking in a listless voice about “nothing really matters.” His ability allows him to release “interest-stripping” fog, causing Riley to lose motivation for things she once enjoyed. However, at a crucial moment during the hockey final, his “utterly laid-back” state unexpectedly counteracted Anxiety’s excessive worry, allowing Riley to enter a state of “stress-free peak performance.” His existence validates that “negative emotions can also serve as psychological regulators.”Your personality is similar to Ennui’s. Your first impression might be melancholic, but this precisely endows you with unique insight and empathy. You can deeply understand others' low moods; perhaps you won’t comfort them with a gentle demeanor, but you always grasp what truly matters to them, making you a particularly understanding friend. When others need to confide, you always offer the most sincere advice. Your way of thinking is often profound, seeing the more essential side of things, a trait that often provides unique perspectives when solving problems. Your inner world actually holds a rich emotional landscape; when you choose to open up, you always bring unexpected warmth and inspiration to others. Among your friends, you are the one who can pinpoint the essence of a problem, and this insight makes you a trustworthy confidant.6a59e9//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/7.png
• Envy (Envy)1100Competitive and envious; craves recognitionTsk... I really envy your long legs. I’m Envy! Wow... your hairstyle...RoleRiley’s envyAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityProjects “Envy Prism”Envy, with her pale yellow, shimmering star-like appearance, is often dimmed by her competitive nature. She yearns to possess others' traits (like Sadness’s empathy or Joy’s leadership), frequently sighing, “If only I also...” Her ability allows her to project an “envy prism,” distorting Riley’s perception of reality (e.g., mistakenly believing Val is more popular with teammates). However, after a deep conversation with Val, she transforms her envy into a “mirror learning” ability, helping Riley observe opponents' tactical weaknesses. This shift from “self-deprecation” to “strategic emulation” is a microcosm of adolescent psychological growth.Your personality is similar to Envy’s; you are a person with strong ambition, and this drive for perfection constantly pushes you to improve and grow. You are skilled at recognizing others' strengths and transforming them into your own motivation for progress, which is an indispensable trait for pursuing excellence. You are particularly adept at setting goals and making plans; when you focus on something, you often achieve astonishing results. Your unwavering pursuit of ideals often inspires those around you to work hard together, serving as a great motivator within a team. Your competitive spirit drives you to seek breakthroughs in all areas, and this attitude also encourages those around you to become more positive. Moreover, your keen eye always spots the best benchmarks, and you have the courage and determination to pursue and surpass them, thus often achieving your desired goals.3ab5ad//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/8.png
• Embarrassment (Embarrassment)0011Flustered and awkward; soft-heartedThis is Embarrassment, he’s not good at eye contact and doesn’t talk much... but he’s super warmRoleRiley’s embarrassmentAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilitySuperhuman strengthEmbarrassment, a pink, hedgehog-like creature, is the embodiment of social anxiety. Whenever Riley encounters an awkward situation, he curls into a ball, emitting an “emotional death aura.” He speaks haltingly but can precisely replicate every detail of Riley’s blunders (e.g., a 0.5x speed replay of falling on the first day of school). The second film reveals his “embarrassment memory bank” is actually a social learning archive—when Riley needed to break the ice with Val, these embarrassing memories provided the insight that “authenticity is more important than perfection.” His ultimate ability, “mutual embarrassment field,” can even make others feel a sense of closeness.Your personality is similar to Embarrassment’s; you are a particularly lovely and pure person. You dislike pretense or intentionally flattering others, and your slight nervousness and shyness in social situations often make people feel warm and approachable. Your sensitivity to social settings makes you especially mindful of others' feelings, always considering them in detail. This trait makes you a very considerate friend, and your sincerity and kindness always move others, making people want to get close to you. In familiar environments, you’ll show a lively and adorable side, and your slightly clumsy small gestures become your unique charm. You always strive to do your best, and this diligent attitude is touching. Furthermore, your consideration for others' feelings often creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere.e1289b//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/9.png
• Nostalgia (Nostalgia)0110Longing for the past; cherishing memoriesRemember when we first moved into Headquarters? That was the golden age!RoleRiley’s nostalgiaAffiliationRiley’s HeadquartersAbilityN/ANostalgia, an amber-colored emotion, is like a walking vintage film camera, specifically collecting fragments of faded memories. She seals Riley’s old jersey and childhood whistle sounds in glass jars, often muttering, “The past was purer than the present.” When Riley tried to sever ties with Minnesota, Nostalgia reawakened a sense of belonging by replaying fragments of “father-daughter ice training” memories. In the second film, she forms a dynamic balance with Anxiety—when facing future worries, Nostalgia releases a “nostalgia tranquilizer,” but her tendency to over-indulge in the past also requires timely intervention from Joy.Your personality is similar to Nostalgia’s; you are a person full of stories and strength, always giving others a stable and comforting feeling, making ordinary memories warm and beautiful. You are particularly skilled at cherishing and preserving good things, a trait that fills your life with warmth and helps your relationships last long. Your excellent memory often allows you to remember friends' favorite things and important dates, making you a particularly reliable friend, and you enjoy preparing surprises for them. Your unique nostalgic temperament allows you to maintain a rare sense of composure in a fast-paced life. You are good at finding small joys in life and collecting them in your memory, bringing them out to warm others when appropriate. Your presence is like a warm photo album, holding many beautiful memories, providing a haven for rest in a busy life.8f49fa//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/10.png
• Riley Andersen (Riley Andersen)1111Growing up; self-discoveryI know you don’t want to hear it... but I miss home. I miss Minnesota. You need me to be happy... but I want my old friends and the hockey team. Let me go home, please don’t be angry.RoleHigh school student, ice hockey playerAffiliationN/AAbilityN/AThis 11-year-old girl, growing into an adolescent, experienced cultural displacement and self-reconstruction from Minnesota to San Francisco. Hockey is her anchor connecting past and present, but the complex emotions brought by adolescence nearly shattered her sense of identity. Through competitive confrontation with Val, she learned to transform anxiety into focus and nurture empathy with sadness. By the end of the second film, she no longer seeks a “single core memory” but embraces a composite personality where all emotions contribute. Her hockey stick gradually shows intertwined patterns representing each emotion’s color.Your personality is similar to Riley’s; you are a complex blend of adolescence, very authentic and empathetic, always open to embracing various emotions.

Whether at the peak or in the valley, you have the courage to face it bravely. You possess a rich imagination and creativity, which allows you to find unique solutions in various situations. Towards family and friends, you demonstrate a caring and steadfast side, making you an indispensable and warm presence in their lives. Your emotions are rich and genuine, and you are able to bravely express your feelings. This authentic quality often helps others better understand their own emotions. When facing change, the adaptability and growth you exhibit can also inspire those around you to progress together.1fcecc//areal.me/which-inside-out-2-character-are-you/show/11.png

Riley?RoleHigh school student, ice hockey playerAffiliationFire Hawks Hockey TeamAbilityN/AVal, the star forward of the Fire Hawks, appears flamboyant and unrestrained (dyed hair, raised eyebrow, always carrying her hockey bag slung over her shoulder), but she secretly carries the invisible pressure of being a “second-generation immigrant.” She uses exaggerated feints to mask her fear of tactical errors, until she discovers Riley is also struggling in an emotional vortex. Their transformation from rivals to golden partners reflects the process of adolescents recognizing themselves through others. She teaches Riley that “a mistake can be a setup for a feint,” while she herself learns from Riley to enhance team cohesion through nostalgic memories.Your personality is similar to Val’s; you are a person full of creativity and an adventurous spirit, always bringing surprises and joy to those around you.
