    Social Aptitude

    Standoffish

    Bambu tends to keep emotional distance from most others. Outwardly, he appears unapproachable; and dislikes engaging in social interactions or unfamiliar conversations which sometimes makes him resent his friends who can. This has made it difficult to make business arrangements on behalf of the group and begrudgingly hand off such responsibilities to other more personable.
