He's vibrant, expressive and has a frenetic energy about him, often waving his hands around wildly as he speaks. Headstrong, Newt follows his heart and isn't afraid to speak his mind or butt heads with someone he disagrees with. Curious to a fault and not one to back away from a challenge, he will go to great lengths in the pursuit of knowledge. He once risked severe brain damage when he decided to drift alone with a Kaiju brain. While far from fearless, Newt doesn't let his fears prevent him from reaching his goals. Newt can come off as rude and thoughtless or even narcissistic. Understandably, his personality tends to push others away. However, he craves acceptance and cares deeply for whomever will put up with him. Newt may seem like a jerk sometimes but he always means well and doesn't enjoy seeing others in pain. His usual disposition is upbeat, talkative and curious with a side of recklessness and rebellion.
