What are her unique personality characteristics?

SO LOVEABLE. YESTERDAY COMING INTO SHAGELUK. I TOOK A BREAK AND BEDDED THEM DOWN. AND I LIKE TO LET THEM GO LIKE I JUST SHOWED YOU. AND I WANTED TO TAKE A WALK TO JUST KEEP MY BLOOD MOVING. SO I TOOK A LONG WALK AND I HEARD SOMETHING AND TURNED AROUND, AND PITA WAS FOLLOWING ME. AND I WAS 200 YARDS FROM CAMP, AND I GO “WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE LAYING DOWN.” SHE’S JUST COMING ALONG.
