Let's see:

  • Wants to be a paleontologist REALLY HARD.
  • Hates very loud noises (eg ambulance sirens) to the point that they can make them go in standby.
  • Goes to a party, it's so exhausting that they are falling asleep in the bar for being completely drained of energy.
  • No friends because everyone thought they were a weirdo
  • Picky eater, some food textures felt like a personal attack
  • Of course, NO TOUCHING!
  • Music? Sure, 3 songs on loop for hours.
  • "What do you mean I should have more hobbies outside dinosaurs?"
  • "I don't understand what you are trying to say"
