Strengths/Weaknesses: There is not a lot about Tavros that I didn't already include in the above personality, so a lot of what I would put here would be a little redundant, but I'll go ahead and list what I can in bullet form even if it might be a little repetitive.
Strengths +Good friend! +Good at FLARPing. Well, in his own way, that is. +Very nice and also patient when it comes to dealing with people. +Enthusiastic and always willing to go on adventures. +Good with most animals/creatures, which includes raising them and the like. His telepathy helps with that, of course, but he's naturally good with them anyway. +Rapping- except not really. But he believes he is good at this. This doubles as a weakness, because let's face it, the dude is terrible at it.
Weaknesses -RAPPING, see above. -Too trusting. -Easily manipulated. - Horrible Self-Esteem and confidence issues. -Stairs, because of his robolegs. Though presumably he has had enough time in the dream bubbles to figure out how to use them again. He'll probably always have at least a little trouble with them. -For a troll, he's a lot more passive than he should be, which means he's really not the best of fighters. He used to practice with his Lance fairly often, and while he's decent with it, he's still not a particularly good fighter. -He is generally pretty childish, considering the fact he believes in fairies and also leaves his window open in the hopes Pupa Pan will visit him. }:( -His... Whole personality, in a way, is overall his biggest weakness.

Third Person Sample: It turned out that being alive again after so long being dead was actually really hard to get used to. Not in the bad kind of way- though, it did have its downsides. But more like in the way that he had to do things that just weren't something he had to worry about in the dream bubbles. Food, for example, was not really a thing that was absolutely required there. Sure, he could have it. But he was already did, so he wasn't a thing he needed. Here, though, the pains of hunger were quickly becoming something that he was intimately familiar with.
Mainly because finding food wasn't the easiest thing to do, and he had already eaten everything (and shared with Rufio the Tauros) that was in his provided backpack. He had found a few berries, but those weren't very filling. And he didn't have any money, since he hadn't actually battled any fellow trainers. So that was the reason for him sitting under a tree, legs splayed out casually, with Rufio the Tauros sitting next to him, tail swishing idly. "This is, uh, quite a problem that we have here, Rufio..." Tavros murmured, letting out a sigh. Rufio let out a small snort in response.
"I know that, probably the obvious solution to this issue is, uh, battling..." Tavros continued thoughtfully, though a little hesitantly. "But I just, uh, don't think I want you to get hurt. Mainly because I, uh, still don't know what it is that, I'm doing... When it comes to, Pokemon. I mean, it is similar to a game I played, uh, back on Alternia! But... This is also different, uh, in a lot of ways. And also, I guess that... Mostly, I just don't want to lose."
'You're never going to get that thing called confidence is you avoid battling forever.'
It was spoken in his mind, and he looked over at Tauros with a frown. "I... uh, guess, that you're right about that, but..."
'Please don't make excuses. I'm strong! I can fight, and we can win if we work together. Come one, I'm hungry!'
Tavros considered Rufio's words for several long seconds. Rufio was right. If he didn't battle, he wouldn't have the courage to battle. It would just be a weird and frustrating cycle. He had to battle to be able to battle. But mainly he had to battle to be able to afford food. And Tavros also didn't want to disappoint Rufio, and if Rufio felt like he could battle, then Tavros really didn't have a choice in the matter. Who knew, maybe battling would turn out to be really fun! With that in mind, he let a grin spread across his face. "Alright, uh... Let's go, Rufio!" He stood up, reaching out to give Rufio a pat on the head. "Oh and, uh... thanks! You're, really good at pep-talks, Rufio."
'It's mostly that I'm just really hungry.' When Tavros looked slightly dejected, Rufio let out an amused snort. 'I am kidding. I believe in you, Tavros! I'm confident that you can win! So let's go show them who's boss!'
