When I first came here, Giorno described Hierophant to me as the perfect compliment to Star Platinum. [Fugo unfolds his hands again, one finger on each hand.] Range and tactics vs. speed and precision. Specifically, he described Hierophant as being mutable, sneaky, and deceptively deadly. He called you a genius and said that was reflected in the flexible nature of your Stand and I'm inclined to agree with him.
Hierophant's primary abilities are deceptively simple: the ability to create emeralds and unwind himself into coils, reaching a length of fifty meters. You're able to observe, communicate, and fight within a very large range. [Fugo brings one hand up to cover his mouth while he thinks.] If I had to describe Hierophant Green in a sentence, it would be as a long-range Stand whose primary specialty is gathering information, taking down threats, and manipulating the environment from a distance.
For how that reflects on you, it gives me the impression that you are a cautious person who doesn't necessarily feel comfortable around others. You prefer to observe from a distance. While you might not necessarily start a fight, you will almost certainly be the one to finish it. While you prefer to go into things with a plan, you're creative and flexible; you aren't afraid to change it based on unexpected circumstances.
So where does the ability to take possession of someone else's body and thoughts fit into that? [His brow furrows and he frowns, staring intently at Kakyoin and Hierophant.] If it were your only ability, I would say that implies you are uncomfortable around people whose behavior you cannot predict or that you want absolute control of the environment around you. But I don't think that interpretation lines up with the other conclusions about your abilities. The desire for complete control is extremely inflexible. It doesn't fit.
[He leans back in his chair and taps his elbow with his other hand, thinking back again to the conversation he had with Giorno.] Back then, Giorno described Hierophant as "shy," but immediately followed that with the statement that he liked "to be a part of things". Given what I've observed when the two of you are together, I think that's very apt.
So perhaps the most succinct way to describe how Hierophant's abilities reflect on you, personally, is that you feel distanced from the people around you. Despite that, you want to know more about them-- moreover, you want to "connect" with them.
