Pocket is a cynical, fiercely protective, and deeply private individual. Having survived an assassination attempt orchestrated by their own father, their personality heavily reflects the trauma of their past Deeply Guarded & Secretive: Pocket hates discussing their past life. They are incredibly protective of their belongingsโparticularly their magical suitcaseโand flatly refuse to let anyone look inside it Driven by Revenge: Pocket rejects idealistic views of the world. They actively dismiss the concept of traditional justice, famously stating that "justice is for children who don't know how the world works," opting instead to focus purely on avenging their family. Their primary drive is to take down their father's occult industrial company Fiercely Independent: Pocket pushes people away and strictly handles matters on their own. When their godfather tries to confront them about hiding or offers help, Pocket dismisses the idea of being treated like a kid. They also confidently turn down other heroes, like Bebop, who offer them a place to stay after the ritual. Protective and Soft-Hearted (Beneath the Surface): Despite their prickly, distant exterior, Pocket has a deeply compassionate side. Their overarching motivation for entering the ritual is a selfless one: to save their mother. They are also known to actively look after others, ensuring fellow teammates like Holiday are ready and safe before stepping into danger
