Damyien Mihata (Day-mee-ehn Mee-hah-tah)
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Growing up, Damyien lived in a relatively safe environment. Like Kaedan, his father was a code breaker during the Second Intra-Continental War. However, he had almost lost his father to it and his father had been in a coma for weeks after the battle of Bhalgolar, which scared Damyien greatly as a kid. He didn't want his father to die and yet his father had come very close to dying.
In Inarora's Excursion, he was the second child to be sent into the past. He was very grateful that Inarora was there at the right time and place, because he might have had a full meltdown if she wasn't there. This, however, has left him uncomfortable being out on his own now. He's afraid of having his freedom stolen again and is now hypervigillant of his surroundings to avoid getting sent into the past again. He's been having nightmares about it since it started, and Rinya has been helping him with those nightmares.

Virtues & Personality perks
Damyien is a rather analytical person. He can be found reading and researching random things that spark his interest, especially his hyperfixations. He enjoys picking out patterns and asking a ton of questions when he needs to. A lot of his analytical thought patterns can stem from his intelligence, which gives him a quick thinking process and the ability to absorb information like a sponge.
He also is very courteous, whether for family or strangers. He's thoughtful and kind, and offers to pitch in to help whenever he can. For example, when Byron was ill, he offered immediately to help him and Kaedan around the house as well as to help nurse Byron back to health. On the same token, he is also nurturing, especially with Inarora. He does what he can to anticipate her needs to meet them. He's patient with her, affectionate, and very supportive of her.
With his nurturing manners, Damyien finds himself to be pretty observant. In fact, he has to be observant, otherwise how can he anticipate the needs of those around him? Gentle is another term that can be used to describe him, as he usually keeps a soft voice, showers his loved one with comfort and love, and is considerate and kind.
He also is very witty and funny. One of his favorite things is to make people laugh, whether by inappropriate humor, puns, or even just general droll humor. His quick thinking allows him to time his jokes right (most of the time). In Inarora's Excursion, he finds himself making light of the situation in an attempt to diffuse the tension. Inarora certainly appreciated it.
Damyien tends to be passionate and loyal, and will protect his friends and loved ones viciously. He definitely does not tolerate lying or other actions, especially not towards his friends. When Inarora was dealing with Hylfel, he had to protect her against the manipulation and show Inarora what she was doing to her. Damyien did not play games with Hylfel, and it certainly led to a few confrontations between the pair.
Due to his trauma being sent into the past, Damyien also acquired a new level of alertness and perhaps a level of extra protectiveness for Inarora and Priwen.
Vices & Personality flaws
One of Damyien's major flaws is he is confrontational. With Inarora's former friend, Hylfel, he realized how much she was hurting his best friend and so he took it upon himself to stand up for her. Because of that, he ended up in a couple of fights with Hylfel. He certainly doesn't go out of his way to fight people, but he will when it comes to his friends and family, as well as other people who might not be able to fight back or have the confidence to.
As much as it pains him to admit it, he is rather forgetful and scatterbrained given he is kinetistic (ADHD). He does his best to remember things, however, he can get overwhelmed with what he needs to remember. He has a tendency to procrastinate til the last minute, a bit like Inarora—albeit more extreme sometimes. If it weren't for Xavier, Mitsuko, and Adrian, Damyien would never remember to go to his appointments because he always forgets about them.
He also is impulsive. Damyien struggles to think ahead, and planning is not a skill he has. He also has a tendency to impulse-buy things he sees and wants. He is easy to excite and sometimes he speaks without thinking when very excited.
Since being sent into the past, he's found himself with a bit more nervousness and paranoia than he would like. However, he has been trying to work on that in therapy with his therapist.
