Overview:

As he's grown older, Linken's bold arrogance seems to have toned down quite a bit, leaving a more mature, level-headed tom in its place.  He still displays the occasional boastfulness he once did, but often in playful jest instead of as a mask to hide his insecurities behind.  While his fears and self doubt are still prevalent in the back of his mind and still continue to hold him back at times, Linken has grown to be more accepting of himself than he was as a young adolescent.  He has found it much easier to show his true self to others as he's grown up, although he still hesitates around strangers who are noticeably more masculine than he is himself.  Overall he's a gentle soul with a big heart.  He rarely judges others, and is the type to listen and try to understand a situation or another's circumstances.  He loves nothing more than lending a paw, whether or not he knows the individual.

 | Softhearted

Simple things tend to bring a smile to Linken's face.  He takes great pleasure in the little things in life and enjoys quietly observing as opposed to physically engaging.  As a result, he's a rather good listener, and even better at looking at things from a simple perspective.  He'll listen to anything if someone's willing to talk, even if he doesn't know them.  However, despite being a fairly good listener, he doesn't offer the best advice.  His solutions to most problems are rash and not always the best option; he tends to offer better wisdom after he's thought on the matter for a while.  Often he keeps this gentler side to himself, never mentioning the little things he notices, but if one watches him, it isn't uncommon to see a small smile flicker across his face while he's off in his own head.

 | Determined

The burning desire to prove himself has since died down since he was a younger tom, but a flame still flickers in his chest.  Instead of wanting to prove himself, Linken wants to be useful - especially to his tribe.  He dislikes sitting back and letting others do all the work and is often the first to jump up to offer his assistance.  He like to be the first to take action when it comes to getting something done.  While he doesn't always succeed in his endeavors, Linken isn't the type to quit.  He pushes himself to his limits, stubbornly refusing to give up on anything once he's started.  His headstrong attitude can sometimes be his own worst enemy, causing him to push away help even when he needs it, but that same stubbornness is what keeps him going.  No task is too big for him in his mind, and no task will go unfinished if he's the one doing it.

 | Effeminate

Linken's never really been able to let go of his rather 'girlish tendencies'.  He prefers a well groomed coat and clean paws, not to mention a plush sleeping area and fresh bedding.  It isn't uncommon to see the tom carefully preening himself in own little corner of the world, or out scurrying about camp late in the evening because he couldn't possibly sleep on day old bedding.  He likes his comforts, and certainly likes to keep himself as dirt-free as possible.  However, as he's matured, he's toned down on his almost snobbish and obsessive compulsion of being clean.  He still prefers to keep his own pelt and sleeping area tidy, but he has found himself less repulsed by those who do not share in the same preference.

 | Tease

While he has certainly outgrown his outlandish and bold youth, Linken still has maintained a love of poking fun at others.  He enjoys playing little games and tricks, although he hardly takes them nearly as far as he used to; he prefers to get a good laugh with someone instead of at their expensive.  Unfortunately, this side of him makes it difficult for him to take some situations as seriously as he should.  He has difficulty keeping a straight face, and can often be seen trying to poke fun into more grave situations to lighten the mood.  While poking fun is meant to combat his own anxiousness over serious situations, it's more often than not seen as insensitive and unhelpful.

 | Cautious

One draw back to getting older is he no longer bold and confident when greeting strangers.  He dropped his arrogant facade, and without it he tends to be rather suspicious of others initially.  He keeps his words short and vague until he feels he can other wise trust the other. If they somehow grab his attention and put him off guard however, he tends to forget about being cautious.  Unfortunately, with recent events, he's gone from wary to down right mistrustful of others.  He's the first to think badly of someone if there's the slightest hint of something, and is quick to fire off accusations.  Some would even say his caution borders on paranoid.

 | Insecure

No matter how old he gets, Linken never seems to be able to shake his insecurities entirely.  He constantly worries about his self worth, and even more so about his size - or lack there of.  His greatest fear is being useless to his tribe, and most of all, disappointing his father, the Silver-Air.  On more than one occasion, his insecurities have held him back from reaching his full potential.  Even when he feels he has something to offer, his self doubt will usually cause him to hold back from presenting it.  In fact, he's more apt to let someone else share his opinion on something than give it up himself for fear it won't be considered any use or that it is wrong.
