Genki Spark vs Senpai Mentor

Loud warmth meets steady warmth.

Both archetypes hold high-W warmth scores and both naturally take care of the people around them, but the energy register is opposite. Genki spark is high-affect — bright, contagious, loud-on-purpose. Senpai mentor is restrained-affect — steady, patient, available without performing it. In a team, a genki pulls the group into motion; a senpai keeps them upright once they are moving. They are not the same kind of warmth, but they fit together exactly because each one supplies what the other does not.
