Ealhhere is... a mess. Once upon a time he was a very kind, ridiculously sweet, and very compassionate little carnivorous stygian who's Nightmare was simply being Alone. Since then his nightmare has deepened. Worsened. Been reshaped by the Treatling War. Now, being Alone is his natural state, being Alone is what he seeks to preserve. His trust has been shattered, been lost to the throws of the nightmare.
If he has to choose between being Alone, and being "inevitably" Left Behind, he'll choose the isolation.

He's a dramatic fellow, animate and boistrous, blunt and callous, putting on airs of being far more confident than he actually is. He puts on an act of being more Powerful than he is. He brags and boasts about his isolation. How he isn't "tied down" by anyone or anything. Is adamant that the world is His to claim. He masks hurt and sadness with anger, lashing out with wide gestures and a big voice, always just shy of actually striking. Threatening, warning. Until it isn't a threat.
It's all bravado, all an act to keep people Away. To hide what remains of his first iteration.

Alone, he practices with his naginata, gardens, cooks, does various forms of woodwork such as wittling, or writes poety. Alone, he lazes about in the sun and studies musical theatre. He mourns his own behavior. Grieves over those he hurts in his frantic, frenzied self-defense and attempts to self isolate. It's not him. It's not who he wants to be. But how else can he protect himself from abandonment, except by not letting himself be Attached? How else can he keep others from realizing how "weak" he is, except by holding them away by whatever means necessary.
Alone, he doesn't have to be afraid of who he's going to lose, or be abandoned by, next. Alone, he can cry and lash out at himself without appearing "weak". Without appearing "disposable".
He has lost all hope of being seen as anything but.
If he's going to be Alone. It's going to be on His terms.

Alone, free of the need to act, free of burying himself in his fear and anger, Ealhhere hums. He smiles. It's all hollow. The isolation gnaws at him worse than any hunger could.

He is honest to a fault, except for the shield of machismo and cruelty that he wears, and except for telling himself he's really okay with things as they are.

Tends to assume people are disingenuine towards him, are mocking him, or otherwise emotionally misleading him. Assumes all positive behaviors aimed at him are some sort of act or falsehood to get something out of him. Persistance can change his mind.
However he tends to try to stick by folks whom he has previously shared good relationships with. No matter what. Clings to What Used To Be even if the current status quo is quite different.

Just a terrified cat trashing the bathroom to have something that resembles stable ground.


Enjoys: Being able to be himself, being able to relax. Cooking, woodwork, physical activity and exercise, sun-bathing, cimbing things, digging in the dirt. Really any form of outdoors activity. Writing poetry. Not being angry. Soft touches (especially petting). Thoughtful gifts. Being allowed to dote on and be close to those he cares about. Cuddles, being allowed to be emotional.

Doesn't Enjoy: Sitting still, dark places, being angry. Shouting. Shouting. SHOUTING. Please don't yell near the cat. Sudden sharp movements near him. People behind him. Being excluded from things. Being complimented (doesn't trust them, assumes mockery). Hollow gifts. Flattery. Being Alone.
