Boy I love my problem children. Keeping it to four because I could be here all day.

Mortimer:

-Gets quiet and evasive if you yell at him, even if you're trying to help
-Reckless fun decisions like entering a jungle alone for years to get better at magic
-Poor social skills, with his royal etiquette classes being the only thing that helps him engage with minimal awkwardness
-Too obsessed with the notion of self-sacrifice and being expendable
