[Pinocchio is rather sneaky and devious, and swears often, despite once being a young child. His playfulness is often seen in his actions, but he becomes more serious when interacting with The Stepmother. During these, he becomes anxious and quiet, never looking her in the way and always to his side. He seems to be emotional after he is revived, considering he replaced another version of himself. He is also very stubborn, and enjoys getting what he wants, which leads to the big ego he has. Pinocchio is also afraid of discipline, leading him to break off his nose when he was wooden so he wouldn't be caught when lying.]

[Once being wooden, Pinocchio is not quite used to the free movement of human joints, and often moves or walks quite stuff. He has dark skin, with a lighter patch spreading across his nose, symbolizing where he broke the original wooden nose off. He keeps his hair very short, with it not growing fast regardless. He also dresses very simply, trying to blend in with the fantastical and medieval aesthetics of Amanti. But, he is very tall, so it easy to notice Pinocch in a large crowd. He has a much deeper voice, than when he was a puppet, and a child.]

[Pinocchio, carved by Geppetto, is a wooden puppet brought to life by the Blue Fairy. To become a real boy, he must be brave, truthful, and unselfish. Pinocchio's journey is fraught with temptations and misadventures. He is deceived by the Fox and the Cat, turned into a donkey on toy island, and swallowed by the terrible dogfish where he reunites with Geppetto. Through acts of bravery and selflessness, especially rescuing Geppetto, Pinocchio proves his worth. The Blue Fairy grants his wish, transforming him into a real boy. The story emphasizes moral growth and the virtues of integrity and compassion.]

[While traveling with the Chandling Caravan, Pinocchio and Pib attempt to scam Bandlebridge by convincing him that Pinocchio is a cursed prince. They try to extort him for 40 gold pieces to lift the curse, promising 40 platinum pieces and a chance at marrying Pinocchio's "beautiful sister" in return, with an escape plan to instead just push him down and run away. Along their way, Pinocchio offends Bandlebridge by asking for nicer sheets, but Bandlebridge acquiesces, as he doesn't want to upset a magical being. Later, Bandlebridge realizes their deception after Pinocchio refers to himself as the Prince of Shoeberg. Bandlebridge begins to berate them, at which Timothy steps in with Silvery Barbs and his pointy broom to protect Pinocchio. After Timothy and Cole have finished intimidating Bandlebridge, Pinocchio tries to follow him into his shoe carriage. Bandlebridge invites him in after some conflict with the guards, at which Timothy and Ylfa have to pull Pinocchio away.]

[Fairy Tale: The Frog Prince] [Prince Gerard and Princess Rosamund become interested in Pinocchio upon hearing that he is also a royal and are quick to believe and put stake in Pinocchio's lies. This further emboldens Pinocchio to the point where he claims to be the Prince of Shoeberg.]

[Fairy Tale: The Adventures of Pinocchio] [Geppetto crafted Pinocchio in the original tale out of the wish for a son. The wish was granted by the Fairy with the Turquoise Hair, and later Pinocchio became a real boy as he rescued his father from a giant dogfish. Pinocchio shows love for his father, especially in the time of Shadows as he suffers from a serious illness. This prompted marriage with the Stepmother to Pinocchio's father and created the pact between her and Pinocchio, promising to take care of the ill man.]

[Fairy Tale: Puss in Boots] [PiB and Pinocchio are close friends who scam people to finance their travels and basic needs.]

[Fairy Tale: Sleeping Beauty] [Princess Rosamund du Prix and Pinocchio meet while traveling separately with the Chandling Caravan. Soon after, The Stepmother appears to order Pinocchio to keep an eye on Rosamund, as she is being hunted by powerful forces. Specifically, he is to keep her safe and to stay hidden, as the Stepmother tells him he could not survive what comes for her.]

[Fairy Tale: Cinderella] [Pinocchio clearly has a familial relationship with The Stepmother, as he calls her "Mom." He also reports to her and lets her tell him what to do. At the end of The Times of Shadow, the Stepmother asks Pinocchio to keep an eye on Rosamund, as she is being "hunted". Specifically, he is to keep her both safe and hidden, as The Stepmother tells him he could not survive what comes for her.] [Pinocchio has admitted to the other intrepid heroes that The Stepmother scares him - she shows frustration and anger in response to Pinocchio attempting to lie to her, and has possibly revealed one or more ulterior motives unknown to him. Her magic manifests through Pinocchio as though she is a literal puppeteer - magic strings leading from his hooks to her shadowy form, or projecting her voice through him.] [Pinocchio is the first person to learn the Stepmother's real name, and when he shouts it to her during the final battle in the Canonade, she screams in fury at the reveal.]

[Fairy Tale: Mother Goose] [When Timothy proclaims that he's tried all types of hats and none of them suit him, Pinocchio lets him try his hat on, but it still doesn't work, and Pinocchio says, "It certainly is a child's hat on a full grown man." He tells Bandlebridge that Pinocchio is incredible. When Bandlebridge starts to insult Pinocchio, Timothy uses Silvery Barbs on him, because he hates hearing adults yelling at children, insisting that while some children are scary and seem like they might have a dark future, this child is, "beautiful and good." When Pinocchio tries to enter Bandlebridge's wagon again, Ylfa and Timothy have to pull him away]

[Fairy Tale: Red Riding Hood] [When Ylfa first meets Pinocchio, she tries to talk to him because she sees that he is also a child, and her mother once told her she needs to make more age appropriate friends. However, she later begins to suspect that he's not a real child, as he didn't recognize either Bridge or Gin Rummy when she mentioned them to him; two games she used to play with her grandmother, which clearly had more to do with Ylfa being a child than her Grandma being a Grandma. When Pinocchio tries to enter Bandlebridge's wagon after the "Prince of Shoeberg" incident, Ylfa and Timothy have to pull him away.]
