QUETZAL, WRITE THIS
QUETZAL DON'T FORGET TO WRITE A DESCRIPTION OF HER FRIEND FORM AS WELL FOR THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES
Personality
Cerval is introduced as a mysterious Serval-like Cellien who often gets herself into trouble, to the chagrin of the actual Serval who ends up receiving the blame. Her speech patterns are slow and vague, featuring heavy usage of ellipses and disconnected, incomplete phrases characterizing much of her dialogue in the story. She initially speaks only in Katakana, a literary device employed by Japanese writers to denote that a character's way of speaking is robotic or even possessed.
After her initial confrontation (and battle), she is not particularly hostile or aggressive, instead concentrating on returning to the side of the Cellien Queen with all due haste. Despite this, however, she is prone to becoming distracted, especially by Japari Buns, a fondness that she shares in common with Serval. It's revealed in the process that there are a great many things she does not understand, but she gradually learns from her experiences over the course of the plot and develops her own identity.
Throughout the story it becomes clear that, despite her Cellien background, Cerval is not an enemy and even comes to identify Serval as a friend. This becomes a source of conflict in the story as the only half-aware Cerval is torn between her instinctive loyalty to the Cellien Queen and her newfound friendship and experiences with Serval and the other characters comprising the protagonist's party.
After becoming a Friend, Cerval's personality transforms and becomes more defined, with her speech patterns becoming more normalized and comprehensible, albeit still brief. She is eager to do her best in battle and have new experiences, and is particularly vocal about her love for her bonds with Serval and the protagonist.
