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.

The Genki Spark
Maximum brightness, no off switch.

The Senpai Mentor
Walks the road first. Takes no credit.
