Buzz, like many characters, is a complicated one, who feels genuine emotions such as pride, anger, depression, and sadness, much like a regular human. These are traits that he shares with his best friend, Woody, however, one could say that Buzz is better at keeping his emotions in check than the cowboy. Buzz is known for his bravery and courage with a by-the-book mindset, believing the way people should live their life by following the rules. There are rare moments when he will bend the rules or tell a cover story if needed when he knows it is the right thing to do. Though possessing great leadership qualities, one of Buzz's most prominent character flaws at times is that he can be rather unemotional. Buzz can come off as being charismatic and charming, most of Andy's toys completely adored him just after he was unwrapped. Even, Andy, whose favorite toy was Sheriff Woody and was completely obsessed with cowboys since kindergarten, went head over heels for Buzz who instantly became his other favorite toy. Buzz also possessed something of a vengeful side, such as attacking Woody when he tried to "terminate" him. However, his personality changed completely, especially after discovering the truth about himself. At first, he went into a state of manic depression. But after being given a motivational speech by a captive Woody, he begins to understand his role as a toy; to bring happiness and joy to its owner. After this, Buzz learns much more about honor, friendship, bravery, and selflessness.
