-So in canon, Ayato has an obsession with being the best brought on by his mother’s abuse and pressuring. In this Au, he has a similar complex. He’s convinced that he’s superior, and uses that false arrogance as a defense mechanism; if he’s not the best, he’s nothing, so he has to be the best. Here, Ayato’s pride is twisted around his good breeding, and the knowledge that if he doesn’t prove to be worth buying, he’ll be as good as dead. He’s completely obsessed with being good at what he is, being a good enough pet to find an owner and not be killed for being useless. He still acts arrogant, but it’s a desperate farce, the last thing keeping him from snapping completely.
-At the same time though, he’s much more submissive and unstable, especially around humans. There’s never been any guarantee on his life, and the stress of knowing that any bad enough mistake could be the end of him has left Ayato jumpy and desperate to please. Humans make him nervous; they’re the ones with the power in his little world, and the ones that he’s known so far have been cruel, short tempered, and hard to please. He knows that he has to keep them happy somehow, but it’s so hard to figure out what they want of him, and no amount of believing he’s the best will do any good against their painful, confusing expectations and rules.
