Quick thinking on his feet, easily able to compartmentalize and values responsibility over most things, kind of silly and awkward despite it all. Lloyd is the son of Lord Garmadon, the dark Lord of Ninjago and the grandson of the Great Spinjistu Master, the man who created the world. When he was a kid he was sent to Darkly's school for troubled youth, a school meant to help young kids become better. As the son of the Dark Lord he needed the help, at least his mother, Misako, thought so. She basically abandoned him to continue her study of archeology and ancient Ninjago history. When Lloyd was 11 though, he ran away from Darkly's and (as he was trying to emulate his father in a very childish manner) freed the Serpentine, an ancient race of snake people who hated humans, from their prison. He then tried to use them to steal candy, and build tree houses, not realizing that he was being manipulated himself in their plan to destroy Ninjago. Then his Uncle, Master Wu, found him. Master Wu and Lord Garmadon were close when they were kids, until Garmadon was bitten by the great devourer, a snake whose venom put evil in his veins. In an effort to protect Ninjago from the Dark Lord and evil, Master Wu decided to train the ninja to fight Lord Garmadon and protect Ninjago from the evils of the world, as well to pass on his father's martial art, Spinjistu. Each ninja had an elemental power, and it was prophesied that one day a ninja who could harness the power of the great Spinjistu Master would arrive, and become the green ninja. When Master Wu found Lloyd, he found that he was the green ninja, and so Lloyd trained to become the most powerful ninja of all and defeat his father. But that day came much faster than he wanted, Lloyd had to rapidly age one day in a crisis to save the other ninja, using the tomorrows tea. Lloyd became a child in the body of a teenager. Now? It's been over a decade, and Lloyd is an adult mentally now, though his body is closer to 28 than his actual age of 22. He's had to replace Master Wu as both Sensei. Lloyd is amazing at keeping an outward appearance of zen, like he's the perfect ninja who's always calm and wise and able to help, but internally he faces a lot of guilt, anxiety, and self hatred. He was a child soldier, but refuses to acknowledge that, instead blames himself for everyone he couldn't save. His father included. Still, he's awkward and a dork at heart.
