| Personality |
Unlike many of Jiaro's other children, Ajiel is very much an introvert. He does not possess the same cool, charm as does the rest of his father's mighty brood, but rather finds himself desiring the company of only himself. Life, as it were, is much to precious a thing to waste by making friends with strangers. Ajiel is very distrusting, and prefers to lock himself away with his instruments and papers, composing music for the Prince and expanding his creative genius. Even the Prince himself sees very little of Ajiel, other than to stop by to pick up his latest script.
Ajiel has every reason to be worried for his life, not from outsiders, but from his own siblings. After all, they've already mutilated one of their group, who did not make the rank of Puppet Master, and Ajiel is under the impression that they would feel no guilt over doing away with him as well, if he was proven unworthy of being Jiaro's child. Joining the Prince's court has, in some part, ensured his safety, but Ajiel is not the only child of Jiaro to be working for the Prince, and he is the only one actually given a task other than to keep the Prince company. He is, in fact, the only one of them that has actually work to do amid the Prince's euclides servants.
Cautious and introverted though he may be, Ajiel is by no means completely anti-social. In fact, he finds his life locked away in the Prince's manor to be lonely. But he cannot trust anyone, so he has resigned himself, though unhappily, to a life of solitude in exchange for, well, having a life at all. |
