"You're like an imprint
You've got fire running down your cheeks
You burn everything you see
Gold are your fingers
Leaving traces everywhere you go
Diamonds in your skin, my blood flows
Bring the lion out..."

Cerberus embodies the essence of a feral creature, exuding characteristics that resonate deeply with the primal instincts of the wild. His worldview is painted in broad strokes of raw, instinctual understanding, where power and strength dominate his perception, especially when it comes to evaluating adversaries and those in positions of authority. His fiercely untamed nature is seamlessly intertwined with an unyielding protective instinct towards those he deems a part of his "pack." As a formidable guardian, Cerberus stands ready to obliterate any threat—physical or verbal—against his loved ones. He possesses an acute ability to sense the emotional tides of others. Yet, he finds himself mired in confusion when it comes to the subtleties of love, friendship and comfort, often leaving those who seek deeper connections with him feeling disheartened by his inability to reciprocate their affections properly.
​
Cerberus harbours a profound disdain for what he views as weakness, interpreting the world through the lens of savagery and primal instincts far more effectively than he does through polished rhetoric or lengthy conversation. At his core, he embodies a being driven by raw, animalistic impulses, steadfast in the conviction that actions resonate with far greater power than mere words ever could. Throughout his existence, he grapples with the subtleties of humour and the nuances of idiomatic expressions, often opting to interpret statements literally rather than searching for hidden meanings that might lie beneath the surface.
​
A feline of few words, Cerberus expresses himself with a briefness that carries a weighty significance, each carefully chosen remark resonating with an intense depth of thought and emotion. His unvarnished honesty reveals an apparent window into his soul, offering an authentic glimpse of his feelings that often feel refreshingly genuine. Yet, this raw candour, while admirable, can unwittingly lead to misunderstandings; those in his presence may misinterpret his straightforwardness as a callous disregard for their sensitivities. Consequently, Cerberus often finds himself struggling to tread the fine line between being straightforward and the social subtleties that govern interpersonal relationships, occasionally resulting in discomfort and unintentional offence among those who lack insight into his true intentions.​
​
Despite his evident lack of social awareness, Cerberus exudes an air of unwavering confidence and a dominant presence that commands attention. He strides purposefully, always brimming with the readiness to assert his formidable presence where needed. This natural inclination drives him to restore and maintain order among those in his vicinity, often positioning him as an unspoken protector and steadfast companion to those in need. However, in the hands of those lacking moral reservations, Cerberus' ferocity could easily transform into an instrument of unimaginable destruction. While he does not take pleasure in taking lives—viewing such acts as a grim necessity for survival—he is all too aware that he possesses the capability to unleash violence when provoked. Although he makes a concerted effort to suppress any irrational outbursts, the moment he perceives a threat to himself or his loved ones, he reacts with immediate and decisive viciousness, openly showcasing the fierce protector that lies within him.
At the very core of his existence lies a remarkable bond with Merrdith, a radiant beacon in his life, illuminating the shadows that often shroud his path. She is a soothing presence, a bastion of tranquillity amid the chaotic storms that whip through his world, helping him to find calm in the eye of the storm. In moments of uncertainty or curiosity, Cerberus instinctively seeks her guidance, approaching her with an open heart, eager to absorb her wise insights and the meticulously crafted perspectives she offers. There are times when he finds himself hesitating, pausing in moments of doubt, unwilling to act without her gentle affirmation—a calming hand that tempers the ferocity of his inner beast. This exchange nurtures a deep sense of connection, as he reciprocates her kindness with steadfast loyalty and unwavering commitment.
​
However, while the symbiotic nature of his relationships is vital for Cerberus' emotional and mental well-being, his struggle to interpret social cues often results in him crossing invisible boundaries, as his genuine desire for deeper connections sometimes leads him to inadvertently invade the personal space of his loved ones. This heartfelt pursuit, though genuinely intended, occasionally stirs discomfort, illustrating the delicate balance he must navigate between his longing for companionship and the boundaries cherished by those around him.​​
​
Ultimately, for all his imperfections and primal tendencies, Cerberus remains fiercely loyal to those he holds dear. Marked by an earnestness that cuts to the bone, he reveals a gentler side in the private moments shared with his chosen family, contrasting sharply with his fierce, beastly exterior. In these tender interactions, the depths of his character unfold, illuminating the profound devotion he harbours for his inner circle and showcasing a vulnerability that is both unexpected and invaluable.
