PERSONALITY TRAITS:
basic// Optimistic to a fault, tries to see the best in fellow noulicorns. Upbeat and peppy. Will always voice his ideas and opinions, but they tend to be on the positive side. Hope is his best friend. Will go to great lengths to not insult anyone. If he does dislike something or someone, he will be very up front about it, though not needlessly unkind. Actually very level headed in a crisis and good at thinking on his feet. Clever, witty, and good at banter. Sometimes gets taken advantage of. Always wants to give second, third, fourth, etc chances.
in-depth// Iskierkas is what some might call a hopeless optimist. Him? Set off on his Wandering to never return? Hah! Some may mistake this for confidence, which to anyone outside Iskierkas' mind it very much appears to be, but he doesn't really ever truly expect bad outcomes to happen.
Until they do, that is. Then he almost seems to shift into a different noulicorn entirely. Calm and collected with laser focus when things get rough, this, along with his quick wits, made him a good Wanderer candidate. That, and his ability to not lose faith. While his naivete is mildly worrying in this role, he's young. He'll grow out of it... right?
Iskierkas is also a planner, coming up with ideas on the fly or taking time to mull over things, if he's got the luxury of time on his side. The same cleverness sadly doesn't fully extend to meeting other noulicorns; he's the more easily tricked sort, and tends to fall for the same thing more than once. When he does outwardly dislike someone or something, though, he says so. No beating around the bush or bullying, just a straightforward statement of dislike. Saves a lot of time and trouble, honestly.
