Earth Pig personality
Earth grounds the Pig's goodwill in practical care, making generosity something steady and usable rather than a passing impulse. The emphasis is on comfort that can be shared without elaborate display. The challenge is remaining open to necessary change, since an agreeable routine can become so easy to preserve that an unspoken difficulty is allowed to remain beneath it.
