-Personality Stuff-
Likes:
Reading: Anansi is an avid reader of books, mainly of the nonfictional variety, however, tales of legends and Equestrian mythos that doesn't focus upon ponies are always a treat to read.
Sugary things: Oh, by the gods, sugary foods and drinks are this kid's go to treat, but especially cream soda!
Spiders: There's no deep meaning to this, he just likes spiders.
Strategy games/Lateral thinking games: Just try to beat Anansi in a strategy game, he's likely to win. He works constantly to get the best plan to victory without losing any teammates or while still following the rules of the puzzles.
Dead things: And this is why he's considered creepy! Anansi has a fascination with skulls and bones and all that jazz, they're intriguing, he likes knowing what happened to it, why it died, how it managed to survive for so long, that sorta thing.
Dark Magic: Yeah, standard magic has its perks, but dark magic is more interesting, the idea of bringing back ghosts of long-dead ponies to help gain closure(Not reanimating the dead, that just makes a probably evil zombie), using magic to bring back memories for old ponies who may have forgotten their own relatives is fascinating!
Dislikes: School: Or more specifically, the teachers at schools. All the horrid teachers who either don't teach, make students feel stupid or turn a blind eye towards bullying. If you don't know how to teach, or even just treat other people, you shouldn't be a teacher.
People asking about his past/amnesia: These types of questions tend to get an annoyed reaction of,"No, I don't know what happened to me, I don't know where I was from, no, I don't need your help getting my memories back, thank you very much!"
Being called out: Let's face it here, no one likes being called out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Motivation:
Strengths: He's got strong magic, like out a drag race car is faster, but a truck is stronger.
Diligent: This kid burns the midnight candle. He knows full well that he'll have to work ten times as hard to impress and generally get things done without help, or anyone doubting his independence. Unfortunately, he also has the habit of ignoring other people's advice and working himself into the ground.
Independent: He doesn't need to watch out for him, or baby him. He's perfectly capable of finding his way around the world and knows how to handle his own problems. He requires his own time to figure out the situation and if he so happens to not find one he'll very reluctantly ask for help himself.
Altruistic: "If I can help someone, I will" Why wouldn't he want to help people in need. There are certainly people who are far worse off than some tired amnesiac. He knows what it's like to suffer, and he wants to help people deal with it, even at the cost of himself.
Neutral:
Quiet: Anansi won't talk to people, preferring to keep to himself instead of telling people how he feels.
Snarky: Never attempt to snark or sass at him, you will lose so quickly. He's a got a silver tongue as sharp as needle and (mostly, he has several standards on who it's okay to sass and about what) is non-discriminating on how he snarks to.
Weaknesses/Flaws: He's slow to learn magic and has the defense of an actual twig.
Self-deprecating, hopeless: Despite being so independent and kind, he feels hopeless, like there's nothing he can do for himself because it'd be pointless in the end.
Uncooperative: He rarely listens! All he wants to do is mostly to do his own thing, with hardly any regard to senior clanmates instructions! While he learns fast, Anansi's uncooperative nature makes it hard to teach him or reach out to him. Might have something to do with his dad.
Bitter: It's a family trait. If you've wronged him enough, he WILL NOT forgive you. It depends on the severity, if you shove him over, he'll be annoyed if you say someone you didn't even know should have something awful happen to them, he will be pissed. If he resents you for something, it's hard to get back in his good graces.
Fears:
Forgetting: What would an amnesiac fear most than forgetting something. He takes great pains in writing down everything, almost to the point of extreme obsession, just so he doesn't forget something potentially important and falling to pieces at the thought of forgetting a deadline.
Snakes: Normal fear. He just hates the unnatural way they move, and they're fast as heck when striking!
Overall Persona:
Snarky, sweet, and thoughtful, Anansi is the quietest, most accepting member of Ponyville. Often seen working. 'Nansi is not one to approach first when it comes to talking but rest assured, once he's comfortable enough to talk to you, he'll never stop. He can chatter on excitedly about everything under the sun, from obscure snail trivia to equestrian mythos. Despite this he’s secretly very tired, his amnesia takes a toll on his mental health, with random memories and the stress of living in Ponyville making it worse. He can be very snarky and cynical, though, certainly not without reason. Nansi is bitter most of the time, with the sun in his heart and mind, nice, keeps you going, but horribly dangerous under certain circumstances.
History/Background: (This is obviously unknown to Anansi)
Anansi was born of Blitzen into a litter of 1, with no siblings alongside him in any way, shape or form, with Quail as his father. His birth was sort of like a test project, to see if they could get a kid with magic stronger than theirs (they succeeded) Frankly, Quail was irresponsible, and kind of a deadbeat. Quail didn't teach his son anything,only really honing his interest in dark magic thanks to the odd spells his father used, speaking strange words to make ants make honey, using a weird spell to make his boss forget about his appointment, cursing an archer's arrows to always miss after she insulted him leading to some animosity from the folks near their home. Blitzen on the other hand, could summon gems straight from the earth and sold them to ponies for a ludicrously expensive price to snooty nobles, so they could at least keep their home. She called this process "Karmic business", and oddly enough, told him to avoid the pies falling out of the sky. Out on a walk one day, Anansi wandered off from the path near to their home in Canterlot, wandering deeper and deeper into the woods until he stumbled upon a monster,it had a freaky appearance like a mismatch caricature of a living creature-and,yes, I do mean stumbled upon,since Anansi was in its territory- the creature let out a bellow of a laugh,said some random things and with a snap of its fingers, Anansi was teleported into the outskirt of Equestria with no memory of what happened, or his old life. And so, he just started wandering from various cities and places outside and inside Equestria.
