"I realize why the Keyblade chose me now. It has nothing to do with the strength of body or mind, it's the strength of heart. I have a goal, to protect the ones that mean everything to me, my friends. My friends are what make my heart strong. My friends are my power!"

Personality

Nero is described as laid-back and a smart alack. He’s sarcastic, cool, and sometimes too smart for his own good. Nero is a nice guy at heart who is caring and very empathetic, But he is also smart-alack young man, with a lightning-fast wit and a sarcastic, blunt sense of humor. He is often making jokes at to lighten the mood sometimes even at his friends expense. However he is also a brave and heroic soul who will do anything to protect those he cares for and sometimes even a complete stranger or in very rare case even an enemy.

Nero possesses a rather strong competitive streak, shown when he made it an effort to become the best Keyblade Wielder out of his fellow students, despite be the last to gain his Keyblade and refused to quit until he did so. Nero has a lot of self-confidence and possesses a large ego to match it, making him sassy, cocky, quick-witted and sometimes overconfident in his abilities. He has a lot of attitude, shows a lot of sarcasm through his gestures and has a narcissistic tongue. He often jokes around to light the mood, but will also take any opportunity to taunt and mock his opponents, and takes many of the lesser situations he faces lighthearted. He is also not generally modest when it comes to his abilities and is very proud of his skills, smug and a showoff.

At the same time, Nero has a big and kind heart and possesses a lot of righteousness, shown in the many times he's aided people who were being bullied and when saving those from darkness He is fully committed to helping out those in any kinds of trouble however he can, even if his actions will be met with contempt or have consequences, and cannot look away when somebody else is in trouble. He always keeps his word and willingly puts himself at risk to help others, taking on any challenge that confronts him without hesitation, though he alao sees his heroics and fighting evil as an opportunity to have fun, making him somewhat of a thrill-seeker and enjoys any challenge that passes him.

Nero also possesses an indomitable force of will; in situations where most others would give up and resign themselves to defeat or imprisonment, and in situations where he is severely outnumbered and outgunned, he always forges on; such as when he was cornered by three Liberators and being tortured but he refused to give in. This immense willpower is also shown in his ability to completely deny Yura Minata's attempt to extract his heart (something that takes incredible strength of character) and how he resisted the the darkness when trapped in the realm of darkness for an entire year.

Nero is extremely loyal to his friends and is willing to put his life on the line for them without any due consideration. Though he sometimes teases them or acts rude, he cares generously for all his friends and if they are in danger, Nero will put them above all else at hand. Including his own life. Nero is known for having an indomitable will and a lot of stubbornness. He is incredibly strong of character, possessing a never-waving faith in himself and never gives in to his own weaknesses.

Nero also had an air of charisma surrounding him as well and was well known for being incredibly likeable, and it's this effortless charm that has made him such a favorite of people, despite his laid-back demeaner. Most who has met Nero would doubtlessly claim that he is always relaxed, incredibly confident, and an open book. Nero is easy to get along with and can make conversation with almost anyone. He's not difficult to please, easily entertained, and easily distracted.

Despite all of his good traits, Nero is far from perfect. Nero is very short-tempered, and has trouble controlling his anger; showed in the many fights he got in with his friends and the dark descendants. His impulsiveness causes him to do and say things before thinking, causing him to get into a lot of trouble. As he puts it, “sometimes my brain doesn’t know what my mouth is saying”. He also feels responsible for everyone and anything which goes wrong. He can be derisively sarcastic and moody, especially when someone tries to manipulate him or forces him to obey. Nero is very reckless and tends to do or blurt out things before thinking, causing him to get into a lot of trouble. He feels responsible for everyone and anything which goes wrong.
