Personal history
When Bat Wings was a whelp, he would often help out his father with his shop, going out to gather pollen and flowers for him. Once he was around 13, his father decided to teach Bat Wings his ways to soon take over the shop for him. By 14, he was doing most of the gathering for the shop, with his father only doing the hardest stuff for him, like the flowers that produced the foulest odor or grew in the hardest to find spots. By 16, Bat Wings was doing all the gathering for the shop due to his aging father. By 18, he owned it completely.
Bat Wings worked tirelessly to keep the family business open, sometimes to the point he would fall asleep in the store. A few days before he met Magma, he realized his tree, which contained not just the shop but also his house, was dying. He would spend day and night trying to find the right soil mixtures he could make out of what he had to save his tree, give it the fresh water he could find, but his tree just never got better. Eventually, Magma wondered in on him, he was over the moon to see someone who had an interest in helping him; she agreed and found a way to get a source of fresh water from a nearby lake closer to his tree in the form of a pond as well as make an ideal soil mixture for his tree, saving it. Grateful for having his home saved, he joined Magma, got a neighbor to care for his tree, gathered up his shop materials and left with her and the other members of The Four to travel through the eleven planets.

He focuses on the basic things in life and does not worry himself with overly existential fears and woes. He is willing to discuss them, just not to the point it causes anxiety or anything of the like.
Morality & Philosophy
Bat Wings is realistic. He believes the galaxy is neither a beautiful paradise of idealism nor a spatial hellscape of cynicism. He idealizes hard work and focus and thinks that if you just put your mind to something and know where to go and what to do, you can achieve it. He, however, refuses to push himself to the brink for something he knows will not work and will instead go elsewhere. He may be diligent, but he's far from stupid.
Taboos
If you try to tell him the world is overly horrid or overly joyful, he will consider you annoying and speak with you less. He also dislikes lazy folk.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
His motivation for joining The Four was because when his tree was dying and he was struggling to take care of it. Magma walked by, noticed he was in distress and asked if he needed her help, he agreed and was able to get her to make a small pond for a nearby clean source of water for his tree as well as make a nice soil mix to help his tree recover. He stayed because he wanted to use his labor as a way to thank her for her help.
