Although eager and young at heart, Spyro is a willful, fearless, and courageous dragon. a born hero dedicated to defending his world against all evil.
He holds a photographic memory and as a result has an encyclopedic knowledge of all the Skylands islands and creatures he has encountered, more than any other Skylander. He's always up for adventure (his favorite genre being treasure hunts) and is the first Skylander to get in on the action.
Spyro is a usual quick learner, able to master new abilities within hours. Because of this, he's convinced he can be good at everything so he can put his newfound powers to good use to help defend Skylands.
However, Spyro is not used to not being able to learn new abilities right away, feeling very discouraged when he is not able to harness them despite being trained by Master Eon, the greatest among the portal masters.
Although he does well in the company of his companions, Spyro possesses a stubborn and impulsive side. In The Machine of Doom he believed he could do anything on his own, implying that Spyro used to do heroics on his own before becoming a Skylander.
This led to him having trouble working as a team at first (with his fellow Skylanders always reminding Spyro that he doesn't have to do everything on his own). However, his stubborn trait presumably diminished during his life as Skylander as Spyro gradually became more humble, as shown by Spyro against The Mega Monsters when he shared his victory over Kaos with the other Skylanders who aided him.
He always maintains his composure, but there are times when he lets his emotions get the better of him.
After many adventures with the Skylanders, Spyro has become a natural leader dedicated to scorching the forces of darkness. He takes his role as Skylander seriously after being taught by Master Eon and holds a deep knowledge of his fellow Skylanders, seeing them as more than just a team, but a family, making him an unstoppable force against the enemies the tougher.
According to Roller Brawl, Spyro's leadership is on par with the pivot of a roller derby, "setting the team's strategy and setting the pace for the peloton".
