No problem. Just got done at work, thought I'd help you out while I waited for rush-hour to end. I'm going home now. Enjoy!
_________________________________
Use Sir Percivale, he's a pretty straitforward character. I don't know any sites that would exist specifically on the book you read, but I myself have read it.

I've written something of the 1st of two traits. I will do the second one next. I quality is ok, obviously im doing this fast. Try to change it around how you can, make it sound to whatever grade level you might be.

SIR PERCIVALE

Two character traits:

1) Moral Simplicity-Percivale is a knight who views justice and right and wrong with a very black and white/simplistic mind-set. When he takes the yeoman’s horse to engage the knight who stole his black horse, Percivale automatically volunteers to fight the knight on behalf of the yeoman. He views this as a basic struggle between right and wrong. The evil knight stole the yeoman’s horse; therefore the yeoman must receive justice through the rightful return of his horse. Percivale does not spend any time to further analyze the situation. He simply sees it for what it is on the surface.

Additionally, when Percivale sees the lion in battle with the serpent, he naturally takes the side of the lion. Percivale reasons that the lion is the “more natural” of the beasts, and therefore he fights on its behalf without any regard to why the fight is taking place. He chooses on what he believes to be right, both through personal experience and judgment. The lion represents something normal, while the serpent must naturally be vile and evil in the mind of Percivale. These examples contribute to how basic Percivale's conception of morality is.



Here's the rest of what I've written. I hope it helps you out. Good luck with everything!



2) Stubborn Naivety- Percivale is a knight that is characterized by his stubbornness, which in turns clouds his judgment and decision making process. Again returning to the tale of Percivale, the yeoman, and the rogue knight, one must analyze Percivale’s stimuli and reactions. Learning of the injustice that had been committed, Percivale agrees to take the yeoman’s inferior steed. The animal which he rides to face the rogue knight in battle is clearly unfit for knightly combat. Yet Percival is determined to fight, regardless of his clear disadvantage. The result is all too predictable. Percivale’s mount is killed by the rogue knight and he is violently thrown to the ground. Clearly angered, Percivale demands the knight dismount and fight him hand-to-hand. This does not happen. Percivale’s answer to this situation is to “threw himself on the ground, and cast away his helm and sword, and bemoaned himself for the most unhappy of all Knights.” Afterward he spends the rest of the night in fitful sleep. This is the reaction of a man having a temper tantrum. His almost child-like determination is pushing him to a state of clouded judgment. For this reason he falls into his next predicament.

When the mystery woman approaches him and offers him her horse for his services, he readily accepts, hoping to avenge his humiliation by the rogue knight. Yet he is so determined that he does not consider that the woman could be dangerous or wish him harm. This complete lack of foresight almost ends up costing him his life by drowning in the river. It is clear that his stubbornness has become quite the liability, a liability that fortunately his since of justice and his military prowess seem to off-set.

this is in accordance with a Welsh king, Camelot is supposedly to be based in Glastonbury. the purpose of the around table is to up carry medieval chivalry. Lancelot is the classic prince captivating, who gained Genevieve's heart (love in the past each little thing sight), Arthur did have a nephew & son named Mordred via way of Morgana Le Frey (some say she is his sister), who tried to take administration of camelot, yet died via Arthur's hands. He (Arthur) went to the mythical place referred to as Avalon. this would properly be a famous quote he made spectacular in the past he died: "i'm the previous & destiny king" that's mentioned whilst the time is nice he will return. As for the holy grail it become retrieved, yet can no longer bear in concepts who did it.
