>IntrovertDerives the most enjoyment from doing things by herself
Note that being an extrovert doesn't mean that you dislike doing things by yourself and being an introvert doesn't mean that you don't like doing things with others; what it means is that when given a fair choice you have a preference towards one or the other.

The classic example of an extroverted otaku would be a girl who cosplays twice a year at Comiket without fail and whose room is covered wall-to-wall in character merchandise, and an IRL example of an incredibly successful entertainer who was also a massive introvert is Greta Garbo, the silent film era movie star. Once she had made enough money to never need to work again, she channeled her inner Pekora and spent the rest of her life as a literal recluse.
