By his own admission, 9S model types aren't well known for their modesty which is displayed with the 'Not That I Mind.' achievement/trophy. 9S is also somewhat playful, as seen by how he fist-bumps Pod 153 to show it affection. When conducting himself around other androids- whether they be resistance or YoRHa- 9S is generally cheerful, optimistic, insightful and eager to help. His hatred for the machines is such that he destroys a helpless child core without hesitation, despite the meek protest of Pod 153.Дespite all this though, he still seems to regard Pascal in a at least somewhat good light- albeit mostly nonverbally, 9S seems to be mourn for the loss of the village and appears to be concerned for Pascal after the machine has his memories formatted. This cognitive dissonance is only exemplified when he discovers that the YoRHa black boxes are made from machine lifeform cores- something he outright denies.

Blinded by grief and hatred, he tells himself that there is no meaning to anything the machines do as he goes through the Resource Recovery Units despite knowing the contrary. Following the collapse of the Bunker and witnessing the death of 2B as a direct result, 9S goes on a warpath to kill every last machine. In Routes C and D, his opinions on the machines changes drastically. However, he cannot help but wonder if there is a part of him capable of such depravity. In Routes A and B, if he competes in the the colosseum in the Flooded City, he expresses disgust at the resistance androids in their treatment towards the machines, which rivaled the cruelty he thought only humans were capable of. As time progresses, 9S's opinions on machines changes as he learns more about them, eventually genuinely caring about Pascal and his villagers. Although not trusting the supposed peace treaty, his overwhelming curiosity causes him to agree to follow the machine to its home. Being the newest model, he is more likely to dig deeper into YoRHa's secrets than his peers and often asks questions that those around him say he shouldn't ask.ДЄs a member of YoRHa, he has deep distrust of the machine lifeforms that now inhabit the planet which is shown fully when an emissary from Pascal's village confronts him and 2B in the abandoned amusement park. According to A2, 9S is a 'high end model', implying he is among the newest Scanner types. Usually working alone, he, along with other S-type models, are deployed on the frontlines and act as YoRHa's main intelligence gatherers. ' 9S in particular has a wide range of rich emotional expression, which makes him noncompliant with YoRHa standards.' - NieR: Automata World Guide Д«eing a Scanner model, 9S is naturally curious about the world around him-especially in regards to the machine lifeforms. SPOILER ALERT - Plot details for NieR:Automata follow. That is why you, the YoRHa forces, exist:
