What is wrong with this answer. An additonal character trait Rameck displays is that he promised his grandmother that he wouldn't give his mom that money but he gave it anyways because he didn't want his little sister to go hungry. On page 40 Rameck said, "I promise" to his grandmother that he would not give the money to his mom. Raceck broke his promise because he did what he though was right for his little sister. I think this is why he is loyal.
They never named the character trait in the beginning and combined the R and A.
