What is a character trait for Widge in Shakespeare's stealer?

In order to understand the traits of Widge, it's necessary to understand the role he plays in the story.To make it short, Widge is a 14-year-old orphan, who's master (Simon 'Falconer' Bass) wants him to steal Shakespeare's newest play, Hamlet. But after being part of an acting group that treats him like family for the first time in his life, Widge becomes divided between his loyalties to his master and to the troupe.So, from this, we can gather not one, but three traits of Widge:(1) Curiosity. As befits an average, 14-year-old boy, Widge is very inquisitive. It is his curiosity regarding the play that creates this conundrum, since he becomes more and more attached to the plot and actors of the play.(2) Loyalty. In contrast to his childish nature, Widge remains loyal to his manipulative master, and finds himself becoming more and more loyal towards 'Lord Chamberlain's Men' and Shakespeare. This division of loyalty becomes one of the main conflicts in the book.(3) Kindness. In contrast to how Falconer is depicted as ruthless and cruel, Widge is kind both to his friends and to Shakespeare. Being kind (and perhaps naive), Widge can't bear the thought of something happening to Shakespeare or the Lord Chamberlain's Men - and this is what drives the happy ending of the book.
