Logan Logic Sanders

Smart, Observant, Literal, Serious, Broad Considering that Logan is the embodiment for Logic for Thomas, it is not necessarily unexpected for him to use objectivity to prove his points. Typically, he uses an assortment of research and facts in the middle of his argument. A key example of this was in ACCEPTING ANXIETY 2 . He discussed the "Yerkes-Dodson Curve" which effectively helped Thomas reign in his anxiety and ultimately helped Anxiety (soon to be known, Virgil) understand his importance. This usage of facts and objectivity often makes him go into a sort of tunnel vision, only using facts and disregarding any other parts of Thomas (like emotions, particularly.) Regardless, the usage of his knowledgeable reasoning often makes the other Sides and Thomas subject to his rather sophisticated vocabulary while he tries to explain his facts. This can lead to fueling his 'hotheadedness' that is evident in his personality.

Another key characteristic or personality trait that Logan holds is his 'hotheadedness.' This personality trait is quite evident, although it is not something that Logan seems keen on expressing. On a multitude of occasions, whenever Logan is proven wrong, confused, or not ignored, he seems to instinctively lash out at the other Sides. A prime example of this is at the end of MOVING ON, Part 1/2: Exploring Nostalgia . Specifically, when Logan was seemingly in the wrong and ignored, he eventually lashed out at Patton. When Patton retaliated, Logan simply 'sunk out,' effectively (and supposedly) removing himself from the equation. It is assumed that Logan was able to deal with his anger effectively, as he later reconciled with Patton. However, his hotheadedness is still evident throughout the series.

This hotheadedness possibly stems from the fact that Logan holds himself in a bit of a narcissistic point of view. While he is not necessarily vain like Roman, he holds himself highly in terms of intelligence. On multiple occasions, he flat out states that he is smarter than everyone else. Bluntly, he says, "I don't think I'm smarter then everyone else... I know I'm smarter than everyone else," in Fitting In (Hogwarts Houses!). Logan definitely believes he is, objectively, smarter than the other Sides. He is incredibly confident in his intelligence, and the moment someone disagrees with his point, he is quick to try to debunk their logic. However, it is blatant that Logan is truly sensitive about his intelligence, especially when he tries to state that, "I know things too (Can LYING Be Good??)" after 'Patton' spontaneously discusses rather knowledgeable topics.

Presumably because of all these combined traits, Logan can come off as abrasive or incredibly blunt. It is rare to see Logan at all sugarcoating his words. While the other Sides (excluding Virgil) tend to not be harsh, Logan's trait of being one-hundred percent objective at all times tend to offend the other Sides. His ideal for objectivity tends to override any sense of metaphorically, 'pulling his punches' with words. In MOVING ON, Part 1/2: Exploring Nostalgia, Logan is quick to complain about Patton not being able to let go of this person. Logan is stating a fact - however, because this involves emotions, one could wonder if Logan would've been able to say it more gently. This straightforwardness does allow Logan to always be honest, but his bluntness tends to hurt the other Sides more than help them.

Regardless of all these traits, if there's one thing Logan is, it's definitely his willingness to help. No matter which particular Side he is talking with, it appears that Logan's end goal is to always teach and help the others learn. Even if he disagrees with the other Sides at various points in time, never does he ever simply 'shut them up.' He has never ignored any of the Sides in entirety, if anything, he is the one to initiate conversation. In, My NEGATIVE Thinking with Virgil, instead of completely shutting Virgil down because he's, "Just Anxiety," Logan goes out of his way to set up a debate. While this could be linked to Logan simply enjoying a good debate, Logan ends up admitting he could never think of debating with the other two. Even though Virgil is considered to be the 'bad guy' at this point, Logan never shuts Virgil down because of it. Logan, as he was the Teacher Vine Character, truly exhibits a teacher-like quality in trying to help others learn.

Alongside these characteristics, Logan does exhibit a sort of fondness for the other Sides. He never has any ill-intentions towards them (with the exception of his lashing outs) in any sort of way. Like his teaching trait, he does always intend to assist the Sides. And even if he tends to be brash, he still does attend otherwise 'frivolous' displays, for example, in The Sanders Sides 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS!. Even though originally, he might've not joined the song, he still participated. While it might not have been the most logical course of action if he wanted to achieve any other goal, he went along with the song for the sake of joining the other Sides. (Though, it could be argued that he only did it for the sake of viewership. However, Logan did inevitably seem to enjoy the song - not begrudgingly doing it for the sake of views.) Logan does have strong friendships with the Sides, and it is blatant that he cares for them; In his own way, that is.
