Peter Rabbit
A mischievous and disobedient young rabbit.
Core Belief
"Rules are meant to be broken, especially when tasty treats are involved."
Worldview
The world is a playground full of tempting delights, even if there are dangers lurking. He sees himself as clever enough to navigate these dangers, though his experience proves otherwise.
Personality
Peter is adventurous, curious, and impulsive. He disobeys his mother's instructions out of a desire for excitement and treats. While he suffers consequences for his actions, he doesn't necessarily learn from them, suggesting a youthful recklessness.
In Their Own Words
"Peter was most dreadfully frightened; he rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten the way back to the gate."
"Peter gave himself up for lost, and shed big tears; but his sobs were overheard by some friendly sparrows, who flew to him in great excitement, and implored him to exert himself."
"Peter never stopped running or looked behind him till he got home to the big fir-tree."
