Repede can understand the human language, but sometimes people can't understand what he thinks because he likes to wander off by his own. As a dog, loyalty is his main priority. Where ever his partner goes, Repede is on his side. After all, he worries about Yuri.
Repede is also friendly only to the people that he trusts and children who like dogs, but he dislikes when being approach by strangers. Plus, he also hates someone pets him without reasons. This shows when Estelle wants to pet Repede, but is totally rejected by him. Once the person touches his fur, he bites without hesitate. He does carry being proud air about him by his looks and images. Repede will also show his own affections in his ways. He seems like to chase and bothering Rita and he also attracts to Judith though. Whether it is just lying down nearby or following, he will keep an eye out for everyone.
Unlike other dogs, Repede never acts being childish or reckless in a small matter. He acts more like a matured creature, calm and stays out from trouble.

[ Sample ] :
The late night in the capital of Zaphias, a blue canine sniffing along the alleyway, searching his lost partner after the Adephagos broke down. As he sniffed the ground, the scents never changed. The smell of stone dust and dry mud were mostly belonged to the strangers' footsteps. However, Repede refused to give up. He twitched its ear, moving the pipe up as he tried to sniff the air. Still, there's no luck. No one knew he's been doing it for long hours. Even he ignored the time had passed by and he wondered how long he had been wasting it. A girl named Estellise should be with him all the time. Unfortunately, she’s nowhere in his sight.
Yuri Lowell, a guy who claimed to be his partner, since he was a puppy. The rumor had been spreading around the capital, as he heard that he was dead. It wasn't true. Repede knew his partner won't die so easily, he just went missing. So he went out to find Yuri's whereabouts. All this dog can relay was Yuri's scent from all over the place. Hopefully, he could catch the bait. The other companions had separated to other towns, doing their own job and of course finding Yuri too. Repede had to remain in Zaphias with the noblewoman.
"Repede! Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you." A girl in pink approached to the canine. "About time, princess. And where have you been anyway?" Repede thought. There's no time to waste. He continued the search, as he swayed the incoming gentle palm from Estellise. This dog wasn't like the girl that much. He used to be pet by anyone, especially kids. But when it comes from her, it seemed just… not right. "Aww, Repede! Why do you hate me that much?!" Estellise pouted. "Annoying." That's the only thing what he thought. It's better to leave her behind anyway, if she didn't taken seriously in searching Yuri.
