A rather awkward cat, often caught between his morals and his anxiety. He usually keeps to himself and avoids crowds or speaking to cats he doesn't know, supremely stiff and stilted in any small-talk he doesn't manage to escape. He can come off as aloof, brusque, or even arrogant; it's usually fairly obvious he prefers solitude, and he can be a little dismissive and defensive of his personal space. If he's in an argument with someone, he will usually wait for them to apologize first – more out of a deep fear of rejection than out of arrogance, but it's easily misconstrued. He also doesn't say things he doesn't mean, which can hinder his ability to be polite. He's hardworking, does his best to protect and provide for the Clan, and is earnestly supportive and encouraging to those who undertake to better themselves or work harder for the Clan. He's a bit of a stick in the mud, following the rules closely and always attempting to act more mature than he really is. Being a stickler and a constant nervous wreck at the same time make it difficult to figure out how to interact with his Clanmates, especially the rowdier and more rebellious ones. He has a passionate and excitable side of his own, though, usually much better with his words when he feels strongly about a subject. Though reserved, he's very considerate and kind, and has a dry humor to him. He's secretly a huge romantic, as well, though he can scarcely look someone pretty in the eye.
