===Personality=== | ===Personality=== | ||
Vash comes across as very goofy and playful, often managing to engage in games with the local children of whatever town he's in. He's also a kind-hearted man, trying his best to defend the weak and help those in need. However, Vash carries within him a great sorrow and a lot of anger, and as the series progresses he has to fight hard to keep this in check. Vash abhors the taking of a life, be it through suicide or homicide, and goes out of his way not to directly kill anyone (until his hand is literally forced). | |||

Vash has a hidden knife in his right boot. It can be activated without the use of hands by stomping his heel. Vash uses it to slash a tire on the gang's car after it is loaded with the money stolen from the bank truck in Warrens City to thwart their getaway. {{Storylink|PEACE MAKER}} Vash also uses this knife when he rescues the tied-up Stefany during the mercenary ambush at the bar, slicing through the rope above her head as he backflips. {{Storylink|LOVE&PEACE}} Vash uses the hidden knife to counter [[Kesskass]]' attacks when he ambushed by him in his hotel room in Inepril City, but the hidden knife shatters against Kesskass' leg blade.{{Storylink|LOST JULY}} | |||
