Here I not only give you an example on what my mind maps looks like--more text than lines, sometimes I circle them, sometimes I don't--but I also show three particular quirks on how Johnny would be unique from the other mouse characters.

First off is Johnny's laugh. Mickey has a two parter, "Ha -hah!" Johnny's is a triple--"Ha ha hah!"--and he dips down in tone on the second one and on the third shoots it up higher than the first one.

The second tick is how Johnny views the world around him, and when I say 'views' he does it more than just his eyes, but also his ears and especially his nose. And that nose wiggles as he sniffs around. A lot. Whenever he needs to any situation, he just finds a high place and sniffs around, ears unfurled and eyes taking in a panoramic view. This is because not only is his ears sensitive enough to hear electrical current if close enough, but so's his nose as well.

While he tries to be discreet about it, he does mention that he can identify a person's natural 'scent', which is as unique as a fingerprint. It's much different from 'smell' which is where perfume or cologne is involved, and 'stink' which is something humans can relate with. And the humans will be grateful over Johnny taking in someone's scent with just hugging him, or at the worst, when they hold out their hands as if he's a puppy or something. "Count your blessings," Johnny says. "I've seen more accepted animals act like TSA agents!"

His third tick will cause him more trouble than everything else, though. It concerns that long thing on his butt. Long Mouse Tail is Looooooong. And Johnny's tail is longer than his standing height! And unlike some cartoon mice that Johnny idolizes, he just can't carry all of it in the air. Expect him to be dragging it all over creation, getting stuck in doors and stepped on by unwary humans. At least he'll have enough presence of mind to make sure it's out of the way....and in some circumstances, there's a kid waking behind him holding that tail for him, especially in parades.

There is an additional feature on Johnny's tail that tells of the rapid evolution of Johnny's village: The last third of it is a bit prehensile. He can actually grab small items with it and even hang from it for a time. That's what happens during the time when he fell into the growing substance: He was hanging from the ceiling by his tail and the beam he wrapped his tail on broke.

Of course, these quirks can still be improved over, which is why I'm posting it here. I also haven't been posting much here lately, and I need to get back in flow now that my sleeping habit is back to snuff.
