	Johan is initially portrayed as a scatterbrained daydreamer who enjoys leading an uneventful life. Described as a free spirit, Johan is characterized by his loyalty to his friends, which is demonstrated by the importance he places on fulfilling his promise to [[Henk de Mol]] to meet in spring. Upon meeting [[Anna van de Polder]], Johan becomes nervous and anxious, immediately developing a crush on her. Shortly thereafter, he exhibits a hint of vanity, ensuring that he looks and smells fresh before attempting to court Anna again.<ref name="Ep1">{{CiteAJKep\|1}}</ref>		Johan is initially portrayed as a scatterbrained daydreamer who enjoys leading an uneventful life.

	Johan's loyalty to his family is illustrated by the determination he displays in recovering the egg that has fallen from the nest. He becomes angry on three occasions: first at [[Henri Dropshot]] and [[Johnny Hollyday]] for attempting to court Anna, when [[Schor de Kraai]] berates Anna and his eggs, and later when their pasture is threatened with destruction by the [[Beton Maatschappij]]. With Schor de Kraai he holds a longstanding mutual-grudge. [[Schor de Kraai]] considers the color of Johan's feathers repulsive and views Johan's friendship with [[Henk de Mol]] as an aberration.
