Oh, I appreciate that so much! D: <3 And I'm so glad you feel that he's optimistic, but not grating, because I know that was something I really wanted to be precise about, so I'm happy you think so.
And I'll work on that, definitely! I know they've all had their niches (Poppy with Sydonai, Quigby in the library), but you're right, and I've been trying to think of ways to let them out too~
Also, if you ever consider apping one of your OCs here, I think that would be fantastic! I think you're creative, and it would be a lot of fun to see whoever you would bring in. ^_^
