the most important character traits which Qfwfq display in both of the stories is confusion-he always wishes he were someone or something else.
“uncle if you don't mind....this is .... i mean , i have the pleasure to present to you my future bride”(76)
In the Aquatic uncle, qfwfq was not confident about his thoughts and what he wanted. When he wanted to take L’ll to his his uncle to tell him that she was his girlfriend he wasn't sure if he should take her because of the way his uncle might react,it like he is hiding something from L’ll. he was really confuse on what he wanted because when L’ll was about to leave him you can tell from the way he was acting he did not wanted her to go because he still wanted her but he wasn't sure if he should go after her after she left him just to go to the uncle.he did not wanted to waste his time to go beyond her but in his heart he wanted her.
In the Dinosaurs when he was the last dinosaur left on earth and he came from hiding,when he saw the new ones he was afraid because he thought they knew he was a dinosaurs but what he did not know was they never seen a dinosaurs before. .For example when he was walking by the river he saw a small looking animal called sun flower he like her but his mind was playing games on him he did not wanted to go there and then she start screaming.One part i like to use for Q not standing up for his self was when they call him the ugly one,i don't know if that was a good name back then or if he was just agree to it because of what he is trying to hide inside.
“you know something? last night i dreamed that a dinosaur was going to go past my house..”.(104)
When Q were feeling good about his self and he staying with the new ones, he wanted to tell them who he was but because of sun flower dreams she had and her brother attitude towards him he try to hide his self again.I think that he is a person who is trying to experience each animal,species,organism that is why he is going to different story and being some one different.Ii also think that he is trying to continue evolution, i say that because he is going to different things to try to start a relationship or something but for L’ll and sunflower it did not work out for him but half breed give it to him and now he has a son with her so he is moving on.
Qfwfq is also a person who don't have sure belief of his self because he don't want people to see him the wrong way.for example q knew that his great uncle n’ba n’go had unnecessary behaviors and was a real monster but he did not wanted to put that out there or let his uncle know:
Never before had my great-uncle seemed so different from the rest of us: a real monster. (76)
When his uncle and L’ll was together and learning how to swim he knew something were going to come out of it,but he never really said none thing to L,ll he was just mad and started saying thing sarcastically. It was surprising to him that L’ll wanted to go back and see the uncle after she knew he was a disrespectful person but since she liked him she did not care so that made Q very surprise. Unfortunately for Q, because he doesn’t speak his mind clearly and make his desires known to both his uncle and his girlfriend, he loses his great love. This is strictly because of the fact that Q is so uncertain about himself and won’t stand up for his own beliefs and feelings.
