Hm, I quite like 'chancer' as a description of this particular character, thanks! I suppose it is a bit colloquial for an essay, but then my students look up 'really angry' and come up with "to go ape-shit" and write it down without a second thought. They really shouldn't have allowed them to use German-English dictionaries in their exams.
