personality
Neptune is shown to be a calm, collected, and respectful individual with a carefree personality. He maintains a cocksure impression with people he meets and much hangs out with his ally, Sun Wukong, who describes him as being cool.

[ 4 ] He ‘s shown to be fashion-conscious, like when he interjects that Sun does n’t know what he ‘s talking about following the latter ‘s claim that he can plainly wear his fooling clothes to the approaching Beacon Dance. [ 6 ] aside from fitting with the stereotyped popular guy effigy, he may have an intellectual side angstrom well, as evidenced in the sequence “ Welcome to Beacon “. When Sun says “ Do n’t be a nerd ”, Neptune promptly corrects his acquaintance, calling himself an “ cerebral ”. This intellectual side of him shows through, when it is later mentioned that he defeated Ruby Rose, Weiss, and Yang in a attack of Remnant: The Game off-screen. Despite his cool demeanor, Neptune is identical self-conscious of his image and can be easily embarrassed over his minor inadequacies, like his inability to dance, and refused to admit his reverence of water. His tendency to protect his reputation can sometimes make him inconsiderate to the feelings of others. [ 7 ] Neptune has several at odds skittish tics.

When Sun lets it slip that Blake Belladonna is a Faunus and wants to keep it hidden, he mentions Neptune telling Scarlet David secrets in the past behind his back. He is besides shown to be fleeceable, at one point not realizing the identify Sun gave Tri-Hard ] was a dig at him until much later. Neptune and his team are convinced to go to Shade by Sun, and is shown to hate it there.
