Anansi loves to play tricks. He's named after an African trickster god so perhaps it is no surprise that he's developed in such a way but he thoroughly enjoys out-thinking others and imagining new ways to trick them. He rarely plays mean tricks because he derives less amusement from them (listening to somebody cry is much more depressing than listening to them laugh) but occasionally he strays over that line as well. More often than not he just likes to surprise someone who never expected such cleverness from him, and to bounce away laughing before they can retaliate. He's lazy but he's very, very bright and he applies this intelligence to playing tricks on others. He is not easily motivated by anything else really, even food. Despite his inherent laziness he'd rather just sleep somewhere than bother with eating, so sometimes this means he skips meals for a while because he's too lazy to get up and find something to eat. This is where pack life works in his favor, because they make sure he doesn't starve. Elysia and Canicus check on his meals with obvious fondness for him.
He has surprisingly good night vision and is more comfortable in the dark than in the day. Anansi loves nothing more than sleeping; he likes to curl up on sun-warmed grass and doze until his whole body is suffused with the warmth of the sunlight. He sleeps for the majority of the day if he has the option and often stays up all night. He has a secret soft spot for winter and the snow, mostly because he loves bouncing through a thick snowdrift and scattering snow everywhere. In the winter he's far more active during the day, which is mostly what his friendship with Kiska is founded on. As they share an affection for the colder seasons of the year they do a great many things together in the winter, when the rest of the pack huddles inside and complains. It seems the cold invigorates him far more than the heat of summer and fall, and he's prone to keeping more normalized hours in the winter as well, sleeping with the pack in their dens rather than staying up all night.
trivia.
-he has a soft spot for sleeping, all day every day
-he loves laying in the sun and is something of a nocturnal creature, lazing around all day and playing at night
-he's close friends with many different viscets, for wildly different reasons
-he is particularly close to Kiska because they both adore the snow and playing in it
-and he is close to Nemo as well and he will keep them company on long nights and recall constellations with them
-he is literally the African god Anansi, although not many know this
-he doesn't talk about it really; but he's fairly powerful and capable of many things
-only the troika know of this, although a few others suspect
human form.
Anansi has dark curly hair and eyes that never seem to be all the way open, and a smile permanently resting at the corner of his mouth. He's built quite small but he has a quick metabolism so he has somehow managed to remain skinny. His eyes are a startlingly blue against his skin. His hair is ungodly long and he never goes anything with it, so often it ends up in his way, or he sits on it, or he gets it trapped in a chair somewhere. He's not very tall, topping at about 5'6", but he doesn't mind his shortness, and enjoys making strangers at the grocery store grab things for him.
