Zane, I was once just a Nindroid. A machine. And then, long ago, in a different battle, you gave up half your power source to save me. In that moment, you changed me. I felt things… I never felt before. I felt... love. For you.

*P.I.X.A.L. has a white face covered with purple conduction tracks (similar to those found on printed circuit boards), highlighting the fact that she is an android. She also has wide, white lips and glowing green eyes, which also underscore the fact that she is an android. Shortly after Garmadon took control of Ninjago City, she began wearing a black mask with a blue border bordering her face, but after the Oni's invasion she stopped. Some parts of her head don't appear to be waterproof, as she needed to cover her entire head except for her face with a mask to dive.

At some point before or after The Merge happened, P.I.X.A.L changed her look again, now with purple eyeliner and lips, and she now has a new Samurai X suit mostly white with lavender details with grey arm sleeves, red gloves and two smaller golden shoulder pieces. Her Samurai X logo is now a neon red. She also has new face markings.

P.I.X.A.L. was originally shown to be quite emotionless and impassive and had only her duties to Cyrus Borg as her primary concern. Things like duty, honor, and compassion at first meant nothing to her, but throughout her adventures with the Ninja, and her interactions with Zane, she developed immensely as a person. P.I.X.A.L. originally had no interest in others besides a basic curiosity and desire to learn, but after meeting with Zane, her behavior changed. When she was pondering on helping the ninja to shut off power, she quickly ignored any doubts or reasons in it to save. When she was shut down and given part of Zane's power, she slowly became more human and her emotions soon surfaced, showing that she was capable of exemplary bravery, compassion, humor, and friendship.

Her most human traits were shown primarily around Zane, an android like her, who taught her to embrace her hidden humanity and subsequently know things like deep love, civic duty, friendship, but also loss and heartache. This was shown as she was deeply shocked after Zane's apparent death and sacrificing of his original body to defeat the Overlord; she had been affected more than anyone by his death to the point where she avoided his memorial in her inability to accept his passing but was overjoyed by discovering his resurrection. She also developed a deep faith in Zane and his strength of character, showing a profound level of emotional intimacy and devotion to her love. Although she is a good fighter, she prefers peaceful ways to end the fighting, as she asked the Preeminent and the octopus to stop their activities, rather than being forced to defeat them by force.

After adopting the Samurai X persona, P.I.X.A.L. hid the fact that she had a new body and was protecting people to have her own identity. As she told Zane, she would have preferred to have her own body and not be part of the computer, but she asked him if he agreed, as she really wanted to be a useful member of the team. Following her reunion with Zane, she was very happy and they embraced in their reunion.*
