In my opinion:
Nicholas: ISFJ, 9w1

An obvious ISFJ. He had very high Si. He was organized to the point of fanatical, he had a daily routine, when to go out on a walk, etc. He was also stubbornly rooted in his ancestors and the past. Those he admired, such as Alexei the Meek and his father Alexander III, he tried to emulate to the best of the ability. Instead of thinking, "What will Russia be like in the future?

Alexandra, with her holy terror of society’s immorality, had not allowed her children to go out as often as they might have. The result was that their friends were limited to their parents, their parents’ friends, servants, and a few other adults. Tatiana especially “longed pathetically for friends.” Alas, “friends for these high born but unfortunate girls were very difficult to find”.

4. Maria

But gosh darn it all, this was incredibly painful: Several times I had to just forcefully write it down or never get it done.

Did Alexandra favor Anastasia over Olga? Frackle it all, I...

According to Anna Vyrubova (whom we’ll call Anya) in her book Memories of the Russian Court,

“[Maria Feodorovna’s] fine eyes, so kind and smiling towards most of the company, clouded slightly whenever they were turned to the Emperor or the Empress. Still I must record that later, passing the open door of Alexei's cabin, I saw the Empress Mother sitting on the edge of the child's bed talking gaily and peeling an apple quite like any loving grandmother.
