Verne is a very overly cautious and paranoid person. He described himself as "naturally tentative." He is straightforward as a leader and truly does care for his family, as he tries to keep them on track when it comes to preparing for winter and keeping them out of trouble. he is paranoid at times and does not enjoy trying out new things or straying too far from his preferred method of doing things, leaving little room for argument or compromise. He's a turtle.
