Pierce is not a lot stranger than any other person from where he's from, except for the fact that he is a jittery little thing lacking a lot of sleep. Some might attribute this to him being a dormouse, but there's more to it than that. Pierce is mostly frightened a lot of the time and it's because he's constantly chased and tormented by fearsome twins and a menacing cheshire cat. The only people he couldn't see as a threat were the rabbits and caterpillar, the latter because he can put the mouse to sleep and then he is free from everything.
As for what makes him tick, I would say it's that clock he has in his chest instead of having a heart. But again, that's pretty common where he comes from. Because of this, death usually isn't such a big deal and he's used to doing his job of taking care of all the dead bodies. He's a special guy, really he is. More often than not he's hyped up on caffeine, just to keep him awake.
Off the job, the mouse is very nice. He stays to himself a lot, but once he grows close to a person he wants to be around them all the time and gets very excited and touchy-feely. He loves that. He'll play games, take you out on romantic dates, try to get a kiss in. His life never works out, but that doesn't stop him from trying. AND TRY HE WILL!
If Pierce feels really threatened though, he'll attack without hesitation. On his person he carries a very distinct looking knife as well as a pistol. More often than not, he'll draw the knife first and charge at the threat. So watch out people, don't push the little one's buttons. He looks meek at first, but he's not afraid of lashing out if he feels it necessary. His moments of bravery may be fleeting, this is why a lot of the time you could see him fretting more often than not and just generally freaking out so much to the point of constantly being stressed.
Abilites:
He doesn't have any special abilities... like, he has a clock for a heart? So death isn't much of a thing to worry about where he comes from. He also pretty much is the bottom of the food chain, and just cleans up all the dead bodies. All willy nilly, because that's what dormice do. HE ALSO HAS THE ABILITY TO FEAR EVERYTHING! And... coffee addiction. Yes. That's a thing, that's an ability.
Other:
He doesn't know how to act around normal people :| All normal people are foreigners, so he fawns over them for the forever. And he loves cheese. HE LOVES IT. I was going to say something else, but I forgot :c
SAMPLES First Person:
[ It was silent, all silent. Just a nice fresh lawn, a mouse sleeping in a chair... practically falling out is what he was. Normal as could be, right? That was, until he finally did slip out of that chair and awoke with a start.
It took no more than a minute for him to scramble to his feet and begin running around the yard. ]
CHUU! CHU! CHUU! WHERE AM I?! DIDIFALLASLEEPPLEASEDON'TTELLMEIFELLASLEEP!
[ There was this rampaging about the yard, which was once very nicely set up and now an utter mess as the mouse finds himself running around, lawn chair turned over and rifling through his coat for one thing or another. ]
