Regarding your r-w comment- While I’m not familiar with the character, that’s a rather clever way of sneaking it in. The r sound is often late in speech development, and is a fairly common speech challenge past that stage as well. Yay for roots in real-world problems!
“Not only can speaking style tell you where the character is from, but also their age, health, education… ” I fully agree with you on this one. Language and speech are huge determiners in how others perceive us/our characters, especially at the initial, gut-response level.
