Past In his childhood, Sirius was despised by the villagers because of his weak constitution and slow speech. He was often teased or had stones thrown at him by other children. His mother, frustrated by her son's inability to speak properly or even resist, scolded and abused him severely. As the abuse repeated, Sirius's stuttering worsened, eventually leading to symptoms where his airway would narrow and breathing became difficult when he tried to speak. These experiences affect his current way of communication. Communication Style: Sirius usually carries a small notebook and writing utensils. When he needs to converse with others, he writes down his thoughts in the notebook to convey his intentions. It is not that he cannot speak at all, but the act of vocalizing itself is difficult, and he finds it bothersome to be questioned or explain his stuttering. Therefore, he avoids vocal dialogue unless there is a special reason. The sentences he writes in the notebook are short and concise. He does not add unnecessary explanations or emotional expressions, conveying only what is necessary.
