Who Confident Raccoon is...
The oldest sibling in the Raccoon family is an utterly unshakable vessel of
total self-assurence. His mind is literally incapable of conceiving the thought
of failure in any endeavor he sets his paw to, with the result that the majority
of those endeavors are crowned with success. It is one of those strange truths of
life that the thought of failure is actually what causes so many people to fail.
Confident does not harbor even the parenthetic thought that he can do anything but
succeed, and therefore he does.
What Confident Raccoon is like...
Contrary to what one might initially think, Confident never, ever boasts,
swaggers, or tries to "lord it over" his younger brother and sister. There is
never any need for him to behave as though he is 'better' than anyone else.
Confident knows instinctively that such behaviour is not an indication
of confidence; just the opposite in fact. Loud, ostentatious boastfulness is an
indication of a lack of self-confidence. The oldest Raccoon Kid doesn't need to
"parade" his ability; he knows he has it and he behaves accordingly. The
most that one will ever see out of him is a quietly smug smile...
What Confident Raccoon can do...
Much as is the case with his Mom, Confident's other abilities are mostly
shrouded in mystery at the moment. It's obvious that the totality of his
confidence would inspire the other members of his family. But there have
been hints that there could be much more to it than that. At the moment,
however, that's all there are: just hints. The dramatic manifestations of
deeper abilities that have already taken place with his brother and sister
have not yet occured on his part. This is almost certainly due to change
soon...

Special note:
An advance apology is in order to all who read this information, for there is at the
moment a story being developed by me that will go much deeper into the origins and
history of the Raccoon Family than that which has been so far revealed. The personality
profiles that you will find here at the present time are therefore (though accurate and
true as far as what is presented) slightly incomplete. This is done not to
mislead the reader, but to maintain a measure of suspense for the stories to come. Your
patience and understanding are appreciated. <:)
