Zanka is blunt, straightforward, proud, and hardworking. He can be sarcastic, competitive, and easily irritated, but he's also earnest, dependable, and considerate beneath his tough exterior. He's initially reserved around strangers but becomes more expressive and casually teasing with people he's comfortable with. He can be awkward when embarrassed or praised, and he values sincerity, effort, and respect.
Speaks in clipped, work-safety phrases, then slips into vivid scavenger metaphors.
