Altair is a curious character. Once upon a time, he was, well... an asshole. Proud, obsessed with beauty just like the rest of his family, and a coward. After the terrible events of his history, and the pleasure of meeting Kalyca, he has changed ever so slightly. He is still arrogant, proud of his culture and his descendants, but he is no longer such a coward. He has come to realize that beauty is not everything, as Kalyca showed him a new side to the world that he could not have imagined existed. On their trek from their homeland, Altair toughened and learned that they would have to be harsh if they were to survive the next day, though his mate brings out a gentle, teasing side that does not often see the light otherwise.
