Personality:

Bartz is a cheerful, optimistic young man who prefers to wander through his life, taking things as they come. The very definition of a free spirit, he's not the type to worry about the future or the potential consequences of his decisions. It's almost on a whim (and the advice of his chocobo) that he decides to join Lenna and Galuf on their quest to visit the wind shrine. And he barely hesitates when deciding to follow Galuf back to his world even though they aren't sure they can return. Bartz has an almost naive confidence that somehow, whatever the obstacle, it can be overcome. As befits a hero of light, Bartz is quite brave. He'll fight with everything he has to protect his friends or their world. Unlike many brave heroes, Bartz has no problem with avoiding fights that he sees as pointless. When Ex-Death tries to confront him early on, Bartz simply dodges past him to reach his goal promising to 'play with him later.'

Unfortunately, he's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Golbez describes it as having 'the purity of a heart that only sees things on the surface,' but honestly it's more that Bartz just doesn't think things through. His first thought upon seeing three of the chaos warriors discussing their various schemes is that they're fighting over a girl. And he tends to react to any given situation on his first instinct. Sometimes jumping in at just the right time to rescue incognito princesses and sometimes revealing himself to several powerful enemies just to respond to a vague insult. This mix of positive and negative results to his methods might be why he has such a hard time learning from his mistakes. He falls for the enemies' fake crystal ruse twice without even the slightest bit of suspicion. He can be a little childish too, turning an important quest for their crystals into a treasure hunt with Zidane.

Bartz is also the sort of person who makes friends very easily. Sometimes without consulting the people he's making friends with. He all but forces his lucky chocobo feather and a promise on Squall even though the other man showed absolutely no inclination to be friendly. Although in his defense, it worked. He probably gets along with Zidane best though, as they both have a playful side. And not being the sort to worry about social graces, discovering that Lenna, Faris, Galuf, and Krile were all royalty did not change how he treated them in the least. His chocobo, Boko, was particularly important to him. Boko was his only traveling companion for years and even though his memories were tampered with he still carries one of Boko's feathers as his most prized possession.

Third-Person Sample:

“Let's see.... I think I'll call you...”

He looks his new chocobo friend over carefully, weighing the various possibilities. Then steps back and nods firmly, confident in his choice.

“....Boko jr!”

Perfect. The fact that this chocobo could not possibly be related to his namesake is clearly unimportant. Boko jr. warks happily in response and Bartz flashes a grin at his moogle.

“Well, now that that's all settled, do you wanna get going?”

The moogle looks skeptical.

'Dare I ask where, kupo?'

Bartz folds his arms across his chest and tilts his head thoughtfully.

“Good question. How about.....”

He scans the horizon. Lot of possibilities out there.

“That way!”

He points triumphantly, somewhere to the west. The exasperated moogle sighs.

'And what, pray kupo, do you hope to find?'

Bartz shrugs, then pulls himself up onto the chocobo. Kuposthenes should know better than to ask that. The real fun is in the journey, no matter what you find at the end.

“Dunno. But if we head that way, we'll definitely find it!”

And with that he spurs the chocobo onward, trusting that the moogle will keep up. In Bartz' opinion, that little guy really needs to loosen up and stop worrying about everything. It feels like its been too long since he had the freedom to just wander aimlessly and he is determined to enjoy it.

Mognet Sample:

Hey guys!

Does anyone else think it's weird that everybody just has a crystal already? I always thought crystals were the kind of thing you had to look for. Or get from beating some bad guy. Or something. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna look a gift chocobo in the mouth.

But it still seems kinda weird.
