   Lloyd has mid-length, blond tousled hair, and brown arched eyebrows, His eyes are visibly green, and occasionally glow when he uses his powers, As of Sons of Garmadon, Lloyd had grown up further and has an updated design and a deeper voice, Lloyd is usually seen with a smirking expression which highlights his distinctively asymetical smile, Whenever he lost access to his powers in Hunted, his green eyes returned to their original black color, When he is driven to his breaking point, such as in " The Spider's Design, his eyes take on a purple hue, unleashing his Oni side.

   Lloyd is the wise leader of the team and is fully dedicated to the way of the ninja. Once a mischievous and easily distracted child trying to follow in his evil father's footsteps, after becoming the Green Ninja, he has since grown into a quiet and mature young man. He loves his friends and family and will stop at nothing to defend them, even prioritizing their safety over his own. He is goodhearted and at times naïve, making him an easy target of deception by his enemies. Lloyd is one of the calmer and mellowed members of the team. He has been through much tragedy in his life, but has taken it in stride and channels his losses into becoming a better ninja and eventually a master to his own students, like his uncle before him.

   Throughout his life, one constant of Lloyd's personality was his love for his father, Lord Garmadon. It was a desire to follow in his evil parent's footsteps that drove him to enroll in Darkley's School for Bad Boys—and later, to unleash the Serpentine upon Ninjago.

   However, his attempts to become the next evil overlord of Ninjago were largely stymied by his inherently good personality—Lloyd's idea of "evil" was stealing candy, pulling pranks, and overseeing Ninjago from within a treehouse fortress, with his best attempt at an evil laugh being a rather melodramatic "Muhahahaha!" Lloyd's lack of true evil was evidenced by the fact he was expelled from Darkley's as he "lacked the amoral ambition to be one of tomorrow's masterminds"; That is also showed in his demeanor around his Serpentine "minions;" he usually went along with whatever ideas they concocted and was quick to call a retreat if the battle turned even slightly against his allies. He also displayed extreme naivety about their warlike society, expecting Skales to hand over the Hypnobrai Staff to Slithraa simply because the latter outranked him.

   After being betrayed by Pythor and taking up residence on the Destiny's Bounty, Lloyd's true nature began to emerge. Having been turned from the path of evil by Master Wu's guidance, he turned his thoughts to stopping the Serpentine threat (partially out of guilt for releasing the first three tribes in the first place). He retained a mischievous streak for a time (as seen when he assisted Master Wu in teaching the Ninja about the destructive power of rumors), but quickly grew out of it after being forced to clean up the messes his pranks left. He also dedicated his life to helping the ninja in any way he could, but his lack of combat talents and inexperience with battling the Serpentine meant that he was relegated to the ship during their missions. This desire to help led to Lloyd's capture when he blew his cover at the City of Ouroboros.

   The revelation that he was destined to become the Green Ninja further increased Lloyd's eagerness to help—to his chagrin, this only meant that the ninja had even less incentive to take him on missions. He was also forced to confront the fact that he was now destined to fight his father, Lord Garmadon, for the fate of Ninjago, causing him to alternate between regret and hostility towards the four-armed villain. Despite this, Lloyd continued to love his father, being saddened when Lord Garmadon had to leave the ship for good. His fate also forced Lloyd to stop enjoying his childhood the way he wanted, as training consumed much of the time he would use to play with other kids or enjoy things like videogames and comic books, something that he clearly disliked.

   Lloyd underwent his most dramatic personality shift yet when he was aged to a teenager by Tomorrow's Tea. He became much more serious and calmer than before, dedicating himself to his training and becoming a true valuable asset to the ninja team. However, his misgivings about confronting his father only grew stronger, forcing Master Wu and Misako to constantly remind him that he had no choice. Despite this, Lloyd was unable to overcome his love for his father, leading to him failing to destroy Lord Garmadon when the latter was vulnerable. It was only when the Overlord took complete control of Garmadon's body was Lloyd able to discard his misgivings and access his full power.

   After the battle with the Overlord, he became somewhat cocky about his abilities, and after being made a fool of while sparring with his father in front of a class and his fellow ninja, he nearly unleashed an energy blast on him in anger, but quickly calmed down. He was at first reluctant to learn how to further harness his power over the elements and not rely too much on them, but eventually, he became more willing to listen to his father's teachings after having to use his power to save him. After the Overlord almost managed to get fully revived by stealing his golden power, Lloyd realized such power was too much for him to carry on his own, so he made the decision to share it with the other Ninja, not only giving their elemental powers back, but also ensuring no one would be able to use the Golden Power for evil ever again.

   Upon his search for Zane alongside his friends, he underwent yet another dramatic change that would shape his fate: the role of becoming a leader. Even when the others were down from either loss or current circumstances, he always rallied them with supporting words that gave them newfound strength to continue on and, eventually, succeed. This was seen where Lloyd managed to gather his friends after they got separated due to the loss of Zane and decided to go together and rescue him. This quality came to the point of rallying and leading both the Elemental Masters, the people of Ninjago, and the Serpentine against Chen's forces in the Second Serpentine War, which then sprung a new challenge of his role being tested by Morro. Ultimately, after receiving some final words of wisdom from his father, he let go of what remained of his childish desires and embraced his chosen path of becoming a wise and powerful master like his father before him.

   After wishing to be as wise as Wu to Nadahkan, Lloyd was able to incorporate his uncle's immense wisdom, not only in combat, but also in a matter of forward perception, as he came to realize that Jay's last wish was their last hope, as long it was said from the heart. This led him to save both Jay and Nya, even if that meant he and Cole would be captured by Nadahkan.

   When Wu gets struck by the Forward Time Blade by Acronix and started to age rapidly, Lloyd became the acting master, a role that he struggle a lot to come to terms with, especially when he would try to emulate his uncle, instead of doing things his way. This is evidenced by how the Ninja wouldn't listen to him, even if he would use the exact same words Wu would have used. However, a year after Wu's disappearance at the end of the battle against the Time Twins, Lloyd fully settled into being leader, in addition of taking over the role of the ninja's master.

   After meeting Harumi for the first time, Lloyd immediately felt an attraction towards her. This would cause him to act awkwardly at her presence, especially in their interactions. His feelings for her only got deeper after he, while in a misguided attempted to save her, ended up discovering Harumi would occasionally give food to the poor. However, the major difference in their respective status was an obstacle to any potential romance that could have started between them, something that left Lloyd very sad. This would then change after the Palace was attacked by the Sons of Garmadon, resuting in the emperor and empress' respective deaths. Harumi was taken in by the Ninja, especially to protect her. This allowed Lloyd to get even closer to her and for his feelings to grow even more.

   However, it would later be revealed Harumi was manipulating Lloyd, taking advantage of his feelings for her to infiltrate the Ninja and use him to get the last Oni Mask. Being betrayed by Harumi caused Lloyd no small amount of grief. The revelation was hurtful and left Lloyd conflicted about what to do, leading to him being captured and used on Harumi's ceremony. Being the kind person he is, it is rare for Lloyd to be cold to someone, but he made an exception for Harumi, however, as is shown when he glared at her after she attempted to trick him once again after being arrested, resulting in him closing the police transport van doors on her in "Dread on Arrival" (he would coldly glare at her the second time after escaping from her in Primeval's Eye). This heartbreak was so deep that Lloyd started to seclude himself from enjoying any quality time with his friends. However, his mother managed to convince him to not let Harumi harden his heart and turn him like her, an advice that he took to heart.

   Lloyd was heartbroken when he assumed that Kai, Zane, Jay, Cole, and Wu were killed by the Colossus, shedding a few tears. But refusing to give in to despair as Harumi intended, he remained determined to defeat the Sons of Garmadon and avenge his friends and uncle. However, the loss of his Elemental Power made Lloyd begin to doubt his usefulness to Ninjago and to the Resistance. Luckily, with Nya's encouragement and the hope of seeing Zane, Cole, Kai, Jay, and Wu again, Lloyd has seemingly overcome this doubt. Skylor's powers returning also gave Lloyd hope that his own power would come back, and that is something Lloyd looks forward to.

   While laying low with the Resistance, Lloyd started to undergo a special training from Mystake to help him regain his confidence as a leader, teaching him how to guide and inspire others, a lesson that allowed him to give hope to the citizens of Ninjago, even if that meant to confront his previous loss against his father. But the most important lesson she gave him was the ability to "endure": to survive long enough until his friends would return to Ninjago from the First Realm. This lesson would then become the key to defeat Garmadon, as resisting him instead of fighting him is what deprived the latter of his powers and allowed him to regain his.

   With the Oni invading, Lloyd is forced to set his father free, so he could help them. However, having this evil version of his father around distressed him, as Lloyd came to fully face the fact the one standing in front him was not the man he used to know, the one that loved him and sacrificed himself to save Ninjago. The distress got even worse after Cole fell into the darkness and Garmadon told him to simply shrug it off, resulting in an outburst from Lloyd.

   After Oni's invasion and the full return of Master Wu, Lloyd had more time for fun and didn't have to worry about the duties of a master, which was reflected in his character. Like the other ninja, he became lazier, not even having a problem farting into the tub in the presence of Master Wu and still pretending it didn't happen. His characteristic manifestations include scratching the top of his head when he is nervous. It has also been shown that he cannot bear to meditate and needs to act. The emotional pain left by Harumi also took a toll on him, where he showed extreme distrust of all princesses and claimed that they were all equally treacherous. However, he finally admitted that Vania was not bad and got rid of this distrust. He doesn't like to trust people who may be traitors, which turned out to be dissatisfied with the police hiring Ronin to catch the Kryptarium inmates. He is also very hasty when it comes to his loved ones, as evidenced when Wu and Misako got lost on an uncharted island. Lloyd was immediately determined to save them without thinking. He is also very helpful in the case of housework, which is shown when he was washing clothes in "Shintaro" or washing dishes in "The Call of the Deep." It's also very easy to persuade him to stop as long as he can have fun, which turned out when he went to play video games with Cole instead of washing clothes. Lloyd also has a sarcastic sense of humor, which is more prominent in Season 11 onward.

   He is also very talkative when he is alone or talking to someone who doesn't understand him, such as when he was with Akita, whom he thought was just a wolf, as he spoke about his most personal life events, such as Harumi's betrayal. This shows how much he dislikes being alone, possibly coming from his trauma of losing his friends during his father's invasion.

   Lloyd's greatest fear is of becoming like his father, a great twist of irony, considering he initially wanted to be like him. After being confronted with the possibility of losing his friends and family at the hands of villains, Lloyd's anger caused his dark powers to come to the surface, with one time even leading him to adopt an Oni form. However, as soon as Lloyd saw himself as an Oni, he quickly repressed it, feeling a great deal of disgust towards it. However, he did heed Garmadon's reproach about resisting his oni form, acknowledging it might have worked. He might have let go of this fear after he reconciled with his reborn father. Lloyd also takes pride in his heroics, as he was offended that the New Ninja called him old and when the Source Dragon of Strength didn't consider him much.

   After the Merge, Lloyd went through a hard time, being all alone and without knowing how his friends and uncle were, a feeling that got better after reuniting with Kai. Soon enough, he encountered two kids and a baby dragon being held hostage by the Claws of Imperium, leading him to become the formers' teacher, after witnessing Arin's great potential in Spinjitzu and Sora's elemental power. However, becoming a teacher revealed itself as one of Lloyd's greatest challenges. Not only did he struggle in finding the best way to teach them (all while confronting with the same problems Master Wu had with him and the other Ninja), but he also struggled to balance his role as a teacher, leader, and keeper of the monastery. This came at the cost of neglecting the personal distress of his students, especially Arin, who slowly started losing faith in him as he started to prioritize other things over finding his parents, a vulnerability that Ras was able to exploit and resulted in Arin leaving the Ninja to search for his parents. Realizing his neglect, Lloyd started to prioritize his loved ones, as shown when he went to search for Arin, instead of locating the Forbidden Five. He also realized he couldn't choose the path his students would follow, with the only thing he could do is to be there for them whenever they need him. That also included coming to terms with them eventually deciding to retire from being a ninja, a possibility that almost came to pass with Arin.

   After becoming a conduit to the Source Dragons, Lloyd started to be plagued by terrible and intense visions that haunted him even in his sleep, something that led him to become sleep-deprived. Even if he learned how to control those visions better, their unpredictable nature still causes him to be nervous whenever he feels them starting to happen.
