I'm wondering if ENFP might be a better fit for Urd.  She's a little
weak on 
the moral (good vs. evil) side of the type, but then again she's half
demon.  
The rest fits pretty well, though.  Urd sees good and evil in most
things, 
witness her interest in the occult, and her admonitions to Belldandy not
to 
help Keiichi too much or he won't develop as a person.  At the beach she
let 
Skuld try to stop Keiichi from getting to Belldandy, relishing the
conflict - 
though not helping the forces of good, but I've mentioned that before.
Urd is 
often spying on someone, and eavesdropping is an ENFP trait.  They can't
stand 
to be left out of life.  The lack of a moral stance is the biggest
difference I 
can see between Urd and the general ENFP.

The more I looked at ESFJ, the more trouble I had with the "defender of
the 
institution" part of that type.  Urd breaks the rules of the institution
with 
carefree abandon, even when she knows down deep that her license is at
stake.  
I also don't see her as the "caring for others" type, since she often
lets 
people (Skuld as a child, Keiichi) fend for themselves.  She just seems
too 
much of a rebel for ESFJ.  The "defender" part is at the heart of the
ESFJ 
IMO, and I just don't see Urd having any strong inclinations in that
direction.

Anyway, what do you think?
