[they/them]
malpais is well-known to have no bedside manner at all, but they're good enough at patching everyone up that they can get away with it. they tend to react to negativity or complaints by telling whoever it is to shut up, and enjoy getting into arguments over extremely minor things blown wildly out of proportion as some sort of recreational activity.
nonetheless, malpais also enjoys their job and finds a great deal of personal satisfaction in learning and improving themself. they are very proud of what they do and the amount of knowledge they've collected, though they're also noticeably reluctant to pass it on to anyone else. they're very straightforward, disciplined, and a bit callous, not allowing any injury to faze them - and for the most part, death does not bother them either, not beyond sending them into a crisis over whether they're actually as good as they think they are. not that they'd admit it.
