Cheetah

---

When excited or deep in thought, Cheetah has a habit of flicking his tail rapidly, almost like a nervous tick. This can sometimes cause small gusts of wind, which can be amusing or slightly alarming to those nearby.

Similar to how a cat purrs when content, Cheetah emits a low rumble from his chest when he's relaxed or pleased with something, accompanied by small puffs of harmless smoke that resemble a contented sigh.

Despite his dignified appearance, Cheetah occasionally indulges in a playful habit of chasing his own tail when he's bored or waiting for something. It's a comical sight to see such him engaging in such a silly activity.

Dash, his quillrunner companion, has a tendency to swipe snacks from unsuspecting spectators during races, much to Cheetah's amusement. Cheetah often has to play the role of the apologetic friend, returning the stolen items with a sheepish grin.

After winning a race, Cheetah lets out a triumphant roar that echoes across the track. It's a mixture of pride, exhilaration, and a touch of showmanship that never fails to energize the crowd.

Instead of conventional high fives, Cheetah and Dash celebrate victories by performing synchronized tail slaps, creating a distinctive clapping sound that has become their signature gesture.

Despite their contrasting appearances, Cheetah and Dash share a grooming ritual where they meticulously clean each other's scales and fur after a race, symbolizing their bond and camaraderie.

Cheetah has a peculiar fascination with collecting sneakers of various styles and colors. He often wears a different pair for each race, believing that the right footwear can enhance his speed and agility.

Before every race, Cheetah meticulously arranges a collection of lucky charms and trinkets around his racing gear, ranging from four-leaf clovers to small dragon figurines. He firmly believes in their power to bring him good luck on the track.
