Character Sheet for Ginkgo Bernstein
Character Description
Personality
Ginkgo is kind-hearted in nature and generally friendly. He tends to be a glass-half-full-person and often soothes his friends with his calm and gentle voice and attitude. Normally, Ginkgo isn't easily angered and shows a lot of patience in most cases. He acts pretty shy and precautious around strangers.
However, people can get on his bad side easily if they happen to tease him or mock him - for example being teased for his body size. He becomes nervous and hesitant when confronted with stressful situations. When being angered or irritated, Ginkgo acts very cold and sometimes even menacingly towards people who annoy him. He can hold lifelong grudges against certain individuals, but is usually very forgiving.
Likes/Dislikes
Ginkgo is very interested in plants, herbs and medical substances of many kinds. Besides his rather peaceful and quiet work at the shop, he enjoys sunbathing or spending time at the nearby river to either meditate, read or have some quality time with his friends. Being a kobold, he also frequently indulges in the "pleasures of the flesh". He also likes to collect coins of any currency and loves to eat fruit salad.
Ginkgo generally dislikes rainy days and cold weather due to his reptilian body. Loud noises, commotions and pesterings can get him easily irritated - which in turn also gets him irritated even more. He gets pretty upset when somebody jokes about his body size or makes fun of his gentle, calm voice. Additionally, he doesn't like to wear restrictive clothing. He despises moths for some reason and he hates to eat anything related to pork.
