This changes as the season continues and he starts to gain more confidence to do more on his own without Dorothy. He also becomes slightly more outgoing. He has a relaxing atmosphere about him and can easily calm others, mostly young children. This is emphasized by his catchphrase "(Tension) relax!". Reona is also shown to be feminine.
Relationships

Because of this, Sophy offered him advice on how to change himself and the two became friends. Sophy also became the first person Reona traded Friends Tickets with outside of Dorothy and Sion. Sophy also works in the PriPara Nurses with Reona.
