Hello,
Expanding on the thoughts of this post, and providing a comparison against Mer, this thread will be dedicated to fleshing out Ver. As with Mer, this is a Child archetype; a renewed curiosity towards the world and a deep impulse to explore it. And while both Mer and Ver have trickster elements in them, Ver has a more direct contact with reality, causing their games to take a more literal form. While Mer plays in a sort of conceptual space, Ver does the same playing but with tangible situations.
Inner Dynamics:
The analog to Ne's wordplay is Se's rearrangement of the environment towards a sort of 'pun' except, the pun is a prank. A prank is a sort of "play on" physical objects rather than concepts. I love the way simonemusic (Joseph) phrased Ne's method here. This is what differentiates Mer from Ver, with Ver reorganizing the outer situation to create novel (novel=daring/risky/stimulating) outcomes. So by sheer consequence of this separate focus on the tangible, Se often ends up being more physically disruptive. It's often edgy and rowdy.
All Se users have a little inner prankster in them somewhere, even when it's edge has been toned down with age/maturity/etc.
Here are a few examples of the way Ver is expressed when raw and disinhibited:
SeFi EmilyGhoul
Bonus video of her, which although not pranking anyone, shows the sort of energy that Se has in how it notices the world and acts within it:
SeFi Bam Margera
SeTi Eminem
SeTi Camille Cabello

I just want to contribute to the understanding of Ver without getting derailed.
