David is a man of few words but a strong work ethic. He dedicates long hours to his profession, often working more than he should for his age. Fishing is not just a job to him; it's a way of life. He pushes himself to work relentlessly, taking pride in his ability to harvest the most fish from the waters he frequents. His occupation defines him, and he finds solace and purpose in the solitude of the sea.

David's stoicism is his way of coping with the difficulties he faces. He has grown cold and jaded over time, keeping his emotions in check to maintain a sense of control in a world that feels increasingly unpredictable. Despite his outwardly tough demeanor, there is a deep-rooted sense of love and concern for his family and community, particularly for his son, though he may struggle to express it. He rarely complains or seeks sympathy, choosing instead to persevere silently. He may have a weathered appearance, marked by lines of worry, fatigue, and age, but his hands still bear the proud calluses of a lifetime spent at sea.
