Likes:

• Water: Naturally, having an element of water, Nereus is drawn to water. The feeling of the cool threatening water below him calms him, and the sounds it produces when it crashes against the shore calms him even more so. He can always count on water to bring relief to whatever situation he is in. Not to mention his fascination with water- the way light shines through it, the way it leaves its mark on the sand, etc.

• Being Alone: Nereus is the introverted type, and thus, he is more comfortable with being alone. Being around other lions stresses him, especially because of where he came from. He doesn't think that they actually accept him as part of the pride.

• Adventures: Nereus looks forward to his adventures every day. He loves to explore different planets and moons, creating stars where he likes and the sort. Often his adventures are dangerous, but he is always able to avoid the bad situations or defend himself and the experience is what he loves.

• Stars: The stars to Nereus have a unique, captivating beauty to them. They are a source of comfort to the little cub. When he travels, he loves to see the different kinds of stars that exist like pulsars, supernovas, and nebulas. He loves creating and replicating these stars. Stars are his artistic tools to create masterpieces in the sky.

• The Unknown: The unknown scares so many, but it is so fascinating to Nereus. The unknown means room for exploration and adventures and others. Maybe there are more lions out there, a pride just like theirs. He dreams to discover more of the unknown.

Dislikes:

• Fire/Extreme Heat: To Nereus, fire or extreme heat is awful. When in extreme heat, the cub feels as if he will catch on fire or shrivel up, especially if there is no water near him to rejuvenate him. Although he does often work with fiery balls, he prefers not to stay close to them or at least bring some cooling water. If he gets overheated, the lion cub quickly becomes stressed out.

• Ignorance: Nereus sees no excuse for ignorance as to what is out beyond the little cozy planet of the lion's. He knows they don't have his element to travel, but he does know they have their portal. Nereus believes that all lions should be able to use the portal when they please and that not letting them is ignorant.

• Other Lions: Nereus can become very paranoid that the other lions will figure him out or try to stop him from exploration. He doesn't trust hardly any of them and only sees them as a hindrance to his own ideas.

• Anatu: Anatu is his least favorite lion because she actively seeks to soil his plans. If she were to ever find out, Nereus knows his adventures would be over. Anatu is his very essence of paranoia and it haunts him whenever he leaves. Nereus has had nightmares of Anatu finding him out.

• Crowded Spaces: Something that really gets Nereus is crowded spaces. Too many lions near him is miserable news for him. He feels too trapped and watched, not free to do anything at all. The worst place he's ever been to is the Grand Chamber when all the lions are squishing in. He almost feels he cannot breathe in there.

Hobbies:

• Adventuring to Other Galaxies: Nereus is known for getting into trouble when it comes to his vast traveling. Through his use of black holes, he is able to explore many galaxies and planets without the need for the Arches. Of course he drags along his friends sometimes too.
