While Knight Gem is one for the traditional ways of the gentlemen, he is very closed off about his feelings until comfortable with someone(pony), he has a tendency to take misunderstandings, playful taunts, even practical jokes a bit too far, even if they were ment for him or not. And even though he can be a bit of a slob or indeed lazy, he can and will get the job done in his own time. He doesn't expect everyone to fit his way of thinking, but at least to be open minded about it.
