Character traits
Focuses on health and athleticism, especially endurance. Can often be seen running laps around the cave or engaging in what could only be described as parkour.
Generally sees himself as a guardian, actively tries to be vigilant against potential threats to the cave's inhabitants.
Absolutely rubbish at magic, for the longest time was under the impression that he couldn't use it at all
When he does use magic he actually blacks out as the part of his brain responsible for its control was cut off by neurotoxin at a young age. His mind is slowly trying to repair itself but so far the only spells he can use without blacking out are Eternal Wing and Fabulous Banana
Whenever Xireidi blacks out due to magic use a second personality takes hold, one matching how he was before the exposure to neurotoxin in his youth. This personality is much more selfish and sadistic, but luckily has little to no control over the body's basic motor function without the help of certain types of magic.
Upon returning to consciousness Xireidi remembers the actions taken in much the same way as trying to remember a dream, with his mind trying to fill in the gaps with logical rationale as to why he would have acted that way.
