Bio:
"James is very proud of his splendid red paintwork. He dislikes pulling trucks and is so self-centered that he thinks himself superior to the others and can be shallow, boastful, overconfident, arrogant, prideful, naughty, and vain, particularly to those who appear old-fashioned, weak, slow or dirty. This has caused him to have somewhat of a longstanding rivalry with a few of the engines like Henry, Gordon, and Duck, on a few occasions. In most cases, it takes scolding from others to make his penny drop, and even then, it is too late to prevent trouble. He had acted like this even before he was repainted red. However, on several occasions, he has found himself in need of help from those whom he has insulted and is, in the end, apologetic.

Despite this, James can remain highly opinionated on someone's character. Him staying one of the last of the steam engines to retain a prejudice against diesels, insulting them the same way other visiting diesels would offend the steam engines on Sodor, with BoCo and Bear barely being spared from his narrow view. However, after stalling on a cold day, he was rescued by Geoff, the Works Diesel, and had to admit that nothing was wrong with diesels.

Despite all of that, James has shown a caring side to him. He has a heart of gold and wants to help anyone in a time of need. He usually is hard-working and, like everyone else, wants to be responsible, reliable, and really useful on the Fat Controller's railway. Although his vanity usually hides it, James actually is capable of realizing when he crosses the line."
