Having the tremendous fortune to avoid the true malice of life thus far, his personality is dominated by an almost-infallible optimism; goofy smiles and bashful giggles are as common as leaves on a tree in the springtime, in his case, as a largely carefree attitude reigns supreme. Nonetheless, he's nothing short of being complete and utterly grateful for what he has in his closed-off life: though anybody else might regard what little he has to be barely worth speaking about, chances are that he wouldn't be able to thank his mother and his best (and only) friend enough for simply keeping an otherwise inevitable loneliness at bay. In fact, his mother's wise words have shaped the way he carries himself whilst in the company of strangers as a whole, and more prominently than all other nuggets of wisdom stick in his mind the words 'treat others as you would like to be treated' (the second most prominent, incidentally, reminds him to 'be wary of strangers'). By all means is he well-spoken and well-behaved, though a fundamental shyness largely gets in his way when interacting with those he's not yet accustomed to.

He has a way of speaking, too, in that curious way that children do: on occasion will he seem to be blunt in his words, but never, ever does he mean to offend. Naïve and innocent he indubitably is, but that hardly means he's void of an understanding of sadness - or any other negative emotion, for that matter. If his sheltered upbringing has contributed anything by the way of not having experienced emotions not entirely desirable, it would only be to the extent that he's come to feel discomfort in the smaller things in life; moments of sadness (or, at least, what passes for 'sadness' in the happy-go-lucky child's books) are few and far between, and - perhaps most importantly of all - trivial: as life stands, he has yet to bear witness to any tragedy as to be able to put things into perspective. In light of the ultimate pettiness of what upsets him, such moods rarely ever last long enough to leave an impression of any sort - smiles, in short, succeed frowns before too long.
