| Personality |
Donagh is very much the epitome of his coloration. He's simple, plain, and steadfast. A loyal creature, as all tralvisk are, any incredibly disciplined. He is extremely well behaved and will not take any action against someone without Ixu's express permission. The only exception is if Ixu is incapable of commanding him, in which Donagh will quite happily take action on his own. It is not only Ixu's commands to do that he must listen to, but his commands to do not. Donagh may be extremely well trained, but the leash is short and Ixu must keep a good grip on it. Generally, though, Donagh is fairly well behaved, and won't so much as growl at someone unless he thinks they're a logical threat to his master. This self-control is probably the only reason he's allowed on board the Labyrinth in presence of the many staff members and visitors.
Donagh may be well-behaved, but he's not a dog, or a pet, for that matter. He'll keep to himself well enough, but anyone stupid enough to try to 'pet the nice lizard' is sure to find themselves going away with a few less fingers. He's not even fully accepting of affectionate pats from Ixu, let alone a stranger.
Although he knows how to speak, Donagh rarely does so. He's very quiet, and doesn't enjoy making any noises what-so-ever, except for the occasional growl of warning. And even that is often quiet, soft, very hard to hear. But you damn well better hear it, because that's the only warning you'll get if he thinks you're a threat to himself or his master. That, and possibly an word of encouragement from Ixu himself.
Although Donagh can't read commands from him, he's capable of recognizing Ixu in his wasp form, as well as his humanoid one. When Ixu shifts, Donagh is immediately attentive and wary, much unlike his usually laid back self. Donagh is ten times more protective over wasp-Ixu than he is over human-Ixu, and becomes increasingly agitated when Ixu spends any length of time in that form, going so far as to snap at him when he passes. Wasp-Ixu makes his jobs that much more difficult, and Donagh doesn't like being the pet to a flimsy little insect. |
