===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).
