Think of him as an excitable corgi, always ready to “go for a walk”, even if all you do is look at him. He’s the type of person who, were he to notice you glance at him, he smiles immediately.

The character would never swear. He is a positive guy who would rather say a situation is unfortunate than acknowledge how dire it is.

His Dutch words don’t really peek through that much, but he does have some intonation issues, like over-using Hs and Rs (note “ahright” instead of alright, for example).

To note that the above case is not applicable in extreme situations where his zealous persona is showing. If and when the event will make him lose all hope, his excitability is gone, replaced instead with a lot of stuttering and hyperbolized doom. (I.e. “N-no, it-it - we’ll just get killed… we’ll die here, with nobody ever finding us!”)

The character has a tendency to state certain actions he does, particularly when excited. They are not imperatives.
