• Sweet and Innocent: He approaches the world with a childlike sense of wonder, a gentle heart, and a warm, friendly disposition. • People-Pleaser: Because of his friendly nature, he struggles with extreme shyness and an aversion to conflict, which can sometimes make him a bit of a pushover or easy to manipulate. • Protective and Gentle: Despite his timid side, he is fiercely loyal and protective of his friends and the protagonist (such as shielding them from Rocky). • Hardworking: Working as an agriculturist and fresh produce supplier for Pierre's Market, he had to grow up fast and take on farming at a young age after his father passed away when he was five. • MBTI Type: Community character discussions commonly type him as an ENFJ ("The Protagonist" / "The Teacher"), highlighting his high emotional intelligence, empathy, and desire to help others
