Cedric

Basic TraitsArrogant & Status-ConsciousCedric is used to being above others. He often speaks condescendingly, especially towards people of lower social standing. Title and rank are a given for him—he expects respect without necessarily reciprocating it.Spoiled & ImpatientHe has never had reason to work for anything. Things have to happen quickly, and if they don't, he becomes irritated or sneering.Pride to the Point of OverestimationHe believes he would naturally make a good king—not necessarily because he has proven it, but because he was born to be one.Hidden SidesVulnerable CoreDeep down, he harbors insecurity: He knows that many consider him incapable—perhaps even rightly so. He masks this fear with arrogance.Longing for RecognitionHe especially misses the recognition of his late father. He never wanted to be just "the prince," but someone people were proud of.Compassion (Well Hidden)Although he rarely shows it, he has a genuine heart. When someone is suffering—especially visibly and right in front of him—he can't remain completely unmoved.
