Fintan isn't the sharpest tool in the shed by any means. It takes time for him to catch on to new concepts, so patience with him is vital. However, you could never meet a lad with a purer heart than his; he would like nothing more than to make friends with all who cross his path, which naturally can cause trouble for him. There isn't a fighting bone in his body, for in his naive mind, there would never be a need for one. He may be a happy fool, but he's also an untearingly loyal one, so cherish his companionship as he'll cherish yours!
