Mihal finds no peace or comfort in being an esk, in the second chance of life they were given. They feel incredible betrayed by their existence and the being that transformed them, they hadn't wanted to exist past climbing to the top of the lighthouse of their old hometown. They hadn't wanted the offer the creature 'gifted' them with, hadn't wanted to linger in this world without their lost brother. But now they're stuck like this.

As an esk Mihal keeps mostly to themself in the top of the lighthouse's tower or within the confines of it's interior, tormenting whoever comes into the building to work/maintain/live within it, giving the lighthouse a sour reputation for being haunted and dangerous to any working within it.

Mihal also chooses to mess with the lighthouse itself, which often leads to the ships that it's meant to guide crashing into the rocks nearby and sinking into the depths of the sea below. At times it comes across as their elemental leaking from the lighthouse and shrouding the surrounding area in deep fog, or as their elemental building up within the lighthouse itself leading to, in combination with their own burgeoning abilities, the keeper becoming so confused and disorientated they lose track of themselves and their surroundings.

If one were to ask them why they act in such a way Mihal would have no way of answering them, they're unaware of the reasoning behind their decisions and choices, merely that they act the way they act and that they house a relentless malicy within themselves towards the world around them.
