Gonta loves animals and insects especially, and he can even speak with them. He's a kind-hearted, gentle and polite boy. He's very pure and naive, as he easily believes strangers and can get easily discouraged by other people's comments. Despite his intimidating appearance, he's very sweet and "Wants to become true gentleman". He speaks in third person and seems disheartened by his lack of knowledge, even calling himself stupid at times, and he hates violence and killing, to the point of tears.
