Anything from the weird and wacky, the adorable, to the down right annoying. What are some of your favorite character traits?

Leaving; drumming their fingers during boredom, and constantly rearranging things

You can try extreme superstition, such as;

Always throwing salt over their left shoulder when they sit down to eat. (Remember the superstition is that you are throwing salt in the face of the daemon behind you.)

Always looking down when walking on a sidewalk to make sure they don't step on a crack. (The old tail about breaking your mothers back.)

Extreme phobia about catching germs. Must always use a towelette to clean hands after touching anything, like other people or just about anything else.

Whistling all the time. (This can get very annoying to anybody accompanying them.)

Finally one more thought, extreme fear of something. It can be anything from a snake to a butterfly to red headed people.

Have fun.
