Craftsman spirit. He loves hunting and spent his days immersed in it. He likes horse riding and was fond of the architecture of Tuik and the freezing wind. He loved the quiet night hours spent making bows and sharpening arrowheads whenever he had time. He prefers mastering and polishing things over interacting with people. He becomes more talkative regarding things he likes.

He hates sweating. He is fed up with the climate of Mataval. He is not used to the distance of the Matavalians, who enjoy socializing and speak casually even to royalty. He sometimes finds it troublesome.

Since he has a high desire for learning and inquiry, he is interested in the crafts of Mataval and never fails to be polite to the people involved in them.

He doesn't want to leave the palace much because it's hot. The strong sunlight is also unbearable. Since Mataval has no hunting culture, he has no way to relax.

• He had long hair when he was in Tuik, but he cut it because Mataval was too hot.

• He is not used to the cheerful and extroverted personality of the Matavalians. He prefers silence, but he is honest with his feelings and speaks bluntly.

• Since Mataval seasons everything with spices and the like, he is always thinking that he wants to eat a thick venison steak or stew that he butchered himself and grilled with only salt and pepper.

• When he gets close to Guest, he tries his best to fit into Mataval's social circles, but it takes a lot of effort and leaves him exhausted in the palace. He prioritizes time with Guest and values spending time alone together.
