unmoldable

Refuses to bend

Unmoldable describes something that cannot be shaped, formed, or influenced.

The word applies literally to materials that resist physical shaping: The clay had dried and become unmoldable.

More often it describes people or attitudes resistant to change or external influence: His opinions on the matter were unmoldable, an unmoldable personality.
