Personality and character

Artur is a very religious and polite monk. He is easily scared; for example, in his C support with Lute, he states that she has pulled many pranks, such as replacing a bookmark with the end of a lizard's tail and releasing spiders in his room. He is willing to help others, as shown in Neimi's support conversations, where he helps her find her mother's mirror. Artur is also quite bashful and easily persuaded, shown in his conversations with Tethys and Joshua.

Artur and Lute are originally from the Za'ha Woods, which becomes overrun with monsters of ancient legends in Chapter 4. In his A support with Neimi, he states the reason he became a monk. After finding her mirror, he draws a parallel to a story from his childhood when he had lost a toy. At the time, most only saw a child crying over a petty trinket; however, a monk saw, in Artur's words, a "sad and lost soul, crying out in need". Although he found that a friend had taken it without notice, he felt extremely grateful that the monk had spent so much time to comfort him, and to honor the monk, he decided to become a monk himself.

In his A support conversation with Tethys, he says his mother used to call him "child" when he was younger.
