Personality and traits[]

Bono has a very cheery personality, but he appears to be a tad naughty like his granny, judging from the cheeky grin on his face after he tells Agnes that his mother calls her "an old cow." He enjoys tormenting Granddad or observing his many defects, such as firing arrows at him (though Agnes tells him to remove their rubber tips), playing with his false teeth, and watching him fart while asleep. According to Agnes, he is very sweet, kind and gentle, but a bit naïve and easily led. This is one of the main reasons why Agnes doesn't want him sent to her old school as it is an utter Alcatraz-like hellhole.
