Is the "soul" who a person "is"; intellect, memory, feelings, emotions, spirit and so forth.

The soul is an interior castle according to St. Teresa of Avila. Like a diamond, the soul is formed into many facets. The soul is the dwelling place of the spirit. It is the seat or housing for the drivers and source commands that elicit a response from intellect, memory, feelings, and emotions. God is working by means of the Gospel to try to keep people from destroying their soul and become dysfunctional. The soul is the "mansion" of Paradise. And it is meant to be formed through Grace, where through the teachings of Christ one is made "beautiful" through the operations of the soul. This beauty is the internal beauty that is treasured by God.
