Though she comes across as shy at first, Bluebird just likes to survery the area, to know who she's dealing with. Some may call her distrusting, but she thinks of herself as wise - a couple bad experiences have taught her so. Around friends, Bluebird is bubbly and joyful; her caring nature towards young made her instantly gravitate towards a keeper role, and she loves it more than anything. Guiding the Young fills her with happiness, she somehow seems to have all the time and patience in the world with them. Bluebird takes time to understand what's bothering an angry kitten - after all, she was a particularly vicious kitten herself. She's not one to have a go at one of the young (unless she hears them critisice The Atari and it's structure), rather she'll ask them what's happening and why they're acting the way they do - how do they feel? What's making them feel this way? The keepers never thought to ask her such a thing at that age - she was simply told off, when she felt that she was defending The Atari. When she's not watching over the Young, she likes to search for flowers and visit Glimmerall - the water intrigues her. Bluebird is fascinated by the ocean below Pointbreak and dreams of visiting it, the beach seems such a lovely place, but she'd dared not leave the territory. Born in the Atari, Bluebird belives deeply in the 'natural order of things' - tradition is intensely important to her.

When faced with conflict, Bluebird is more than able to assert herself - that is, if she belives it's worth it. In her years as an initiate she was quick to pick a fight, but she's since learnt her lesson. Sometimes, she's realised, it's better to ignore 'pests' and not stoop to their level. Despite being a keeper, she isn't scared of a fight - you best know, if the claws needed assistance she'd be happy to step in (though it may take a lot of arguing for the claws to allow it). Her loyalty to the Atari is till her death and she's willing to prove that. But what causes her to lash out? First of all, any sign of disdain for the way the Atari is run fills her with rage. As an initiate, she would lose it over one little complaint - now? She tires to ignore such things, unless they grow. Alongside this, any unkindness to her friends can send her into a frenzy - even if said friend isn't too bothered. Overreacting on the behalf of someone else is certainly a habit of hers. What else? An unrecognisable cat in Atari territory would soon be met with her claws, even if they were clearly much stronger than her. Dying a matyr is okay by her - that and she'd overestimate herself, assuming her loyalty to The Atari is enough to fuel her through such a battle. Bluebird thinks highly of herself, she belives she's wise beyond her years - she has lots to learn: her fierce loyalty and tendancy to overestimate her own skills could easily place her in the worst of positions.
