Foxy is an extremely short-tempered and proud pirate who always likes to think he is the strongest in any situation, constantly challenging most people he comes across and wanting others to respect and praise him for his skill. 

Due to him isolating himself from others for so long, Foxy has also been shown to possess little understanding of normal social interaction, as he seems to frequently assumes that people who approach him want to attack him and doesn't appear to understand the kindness others show him. This often leads him into unnecessary danger. He can't read or write, and struggles to say others' names right. 

However, as the story goes on, Foxy is influenced more and more by Freddy's ways and becomes more accustomed to affection and generosity, learning to also acknowledge the strength of people besides himself and develop feelings of friendship towards Golden Freddy, Bonnie, and Freddy.
