Personality

Overview

TL;DR: Reliable, smart, and caring, Nando can sometimes be a bit too doting and too rigid in his ideas.

Strengths

  • Strong Practical Skills: Nando is very good at making sure that day-to-day or routine tasks are taken care of (balancing out Azade well, who, while incredibly reliable in many ways, can be a bit of a procrastinator). He thrives when he's able to make sure that those around him are taken care of, whether that means doing "boring" tasks like grooming a horse, or dutifully caring for an ill family member or friend.
  • Strong Sense of Duty: Nando has a strong sense of responsibility, and strives to meet and exceed his obligations, though sometimes this may be more due to social obligations than an inner sense of duty.
  • Very Loyal: Nando values stability and security, and is eager to maintain the status quo, which gives everyone around him the feeling that he is very trustworthy and loyal. He is the pillar of any community he is in, because he can always be relied upon.
  • Sensitive and Warm: Always seeking to maintain stability, Nando seeks harmony at all times, and is acutely aware of others feelings. He is always careful not to offend or hurt anybody, and will always seek to find a win-win situation for everyone.
  • Good at Connecting with Others: All of these qualities make Nando the kind of dog that is social, comfortable, and generally well-liked. He has a strong need to belong, and has no problem following social cues in order to better take an active role in his community.

Weaknesses

  • Worried about Their Social Status: All of those strengths can culminate into a great weakness: his concern over his own social status.
  • Inflexible: Nando places a lot of importance on the mainstream, and will be very cautious of doing anything that is not socially acceptable. Sometimes he can get overwhelmed and push his own beliefs too hard in an attempt to make them more mainstream.
  • Reluctant to Innovate or Improvise: Just like Nando can be critical of other's unusual behavior, Nando is unwilling to step outside of his own comfort zone, for fear that he may be perceived and judged as being "different".
  • Vulnerable to Criticism: Nando can become very defensive and hurt if someone, especially someone he respects, criticizes his habits, beliefs, or traditions. This is worsened because of his natural aversion from conflict.
  • Often Too Needy: Nando sometimes needs to hear and see a great deal of appreciation. If his efforts go unnoticed, he begins to doubt himself, and may begin to fish for compliments in an attempt to get reassurance.
  • Too Selfless: The other side of this is that Nando will often try to establish his value with doting affection. This can quickly overwhelm those who don't need it, making it unwelcome. One top of that, Nando will neglect his own needs to do this.


Familial Relationships

Family

Italics indicates an unknown relationship; they may be offboard or the relation is merely uncertain.
* indicates character does not know this person by name.

 

  • Parents:
    • He loved his parents, but again, he wasn't planning on returning to Texas.
  • Siblings:
    • As one of the youngest siblings, he had to make his own way in the world. He didn't resent his elder siblings for this, because at the end of the day he found Azade and they had a family together (of course, he was also murdered), but he definitely got the short end of the stick there.
