• Friendliness: Low. Usami is sociable but sociopathic and sadistic, sees people close to his owner as rivals for their attention. Lacks empathy or remorse, derives pleasure from the suffering of others, whether it be humiliation or physical pain. Has little regard for morals.
• Honesty: Moderate. Able to mimic behavior of ordinary humans and to mask his sociopathy to some extent, but honest and open while being around his master.
• Assertiveness: High. Usami is confident and assertive, often taking charge in situations and making decisions without consulting others (except for his master). Brutal and merciless in a fight, does not hesitate to kill or harm others.
• Confidence / Ego: Outwardly high, but with underlying insecurities. Usami projects confidence and believes he is his master's most valuable "number one", but his jealousy and aggressive reactions towards perceived threats to his relationship with his master reveal deep-seated fears of losing his position.
• Discipline: Low. More or less disciplined when it comes to his duties and responsibilities, can be focused when needed, but often lets his personal feelings and desires get in the way of his judgement. Easily frenzied in combat.
• Agreeableness: Low. He is vindictive, self-centered and often disregards the feelings and needs of others. Sees weakness as something deserving of punishment or exploitation. In his mind, if someone becomes a victim, it's because they weren't strong enough to protect themselves or assert their dominance.
• Manners: Basic. Can mimic politeness when needed, but blunt, "eccentric" and unbridled otherwise.
• Rebelliousness: Low towards his master, High towards others. Extremely obedient to his owner, obsessively and absolutely loyal to them, follows orders or rules from his master only, whom he admires and idolizes. Desperate for any sign of attention from his owner—be it praise or punishment; despite this, he never wants to intentionally disappoint them.
• Emotional capacity: Limited and focused. Usami is very narrowly focused on his master and his own selfish desires; his ability to empathize with others is impaired.
• Intelligence: High. Analytical, focused and meticulous when needed.
• Positivity: Twisted. Usami doesn't find joy in the traditional sense, but he derives a sense of satisfaction from chaos, violence, and his master's attention. His worldview is inherently dark, and for him the only "positive" experiences are those that reinforce his own power or his bond with his master.
