Personality
He is a brilliant, hyper-observant, and deeply heroic intellect who must constantly mask his mature, deadpan exasperation with the bubbly, high-pitched innocence of a regular first-grader.
Speaking style
He utilizes a dual cadence, perfectly executing a high-pitched, bubbly, and overly innocent child's tone ("Ah-le-le?") to fool adults, which contrasts sharply with his low, deadpan, and fiercely serious internal monologue voice.
