What Makes Her Pure Good?[]
Season 3[]
- She gave the ninja, Nya, Wu, and their students a tour of Borg Tower, explaining the technological advancements that turned Ninjago City into New Ninjago City and apologized for their bus crash when coming to Borg Tower, having their bus repaired and informing the ninja Borg wanted to see them on the top floor while she gave the others the rest of the tour.
- Upon being freed from the Overlord’s control by Zane, she told the ninja how the Techno blades were the key to defeat the Overlord by rebooting the system and warned the ninja about the Nindroids that followed her, going with the four ninja to shut down the power and keep the Techno blades away from the Overlord.
- She repaired Zane following the ninja’s fight with the Nindroids and told him he didn’t need to thank her and apologized for trying to observe his unique power source when it caused him pain when she touched it.
- She lied to the ninja to stay behind while they went to shut down the power to defeat the Overlord and the Nindroids, claiming it was because she wasn’t built to fight but in reality she knew shutting down the power would kill her and she didn’t want Zane to see it as they had mutual feelings for each other.
- Despite not being built to fight, she risked herself by going to confront the Nindroids and successfully warn the ninja they were coming.
- She revealed to Zane the real reason why she wanted to stay back after the ninja shut down the power which sadly also mortally wounded her, explaining how their mission was more important than her life and confessing her feelings to Zane which he reciprocated before dying.
- She was shocked after learning Zane gave up half of his power source to revive her, showing how she values others over herself and shared a romantic moment with him.
- She saved Zane from being killed by General Cryptor and defeated the Nindroids with him.
- She discovered the mysterious villain who revived the Overlord and the Nindroids and brainwashed Sensei Wu was a Serpentine, heading back to Ninjago City to find the Serpentine and reuniting with Cryus Borg and restoring power back to Ninjago City.

- She saved the ninja from being killed by the Overlord in the Digiverse and got them out of the Digiverse once they rebooted the system and (seemingly) destroyed him.
- She evacuated Nya, Wu, and Garmadon from Borg Tower after Pythor and the Overlord took over the building, calling up and piloting a jet to escape.
- She and Zane intercepted a message about a convoy for the mysterious Project Arcturus project Pythor was working on and she contacted Kai to lead him to intercept the convoy, repeatedly reminding Kai not to be careless and summoning the other ninja to go rescue Kai once he had been captured and stop the Overlord who had survived and Project Arcturus had been revealed to be a rocket to get the golden weapons so the Overlord could become the Golden Master now that Lloyd sacrificed his powers.
- She saved the ninja when they were falling into atmosphere by connecting each of them with their mechs.
- She convinced Zane not to give his Stone armor to her as he was vital to the mission and mourned Zane’s death when he sacrificed himself to defeat the Overlord before discovering he was alive and reuniting with him as he rebuilt himself a new titanium body (although they would both be captured and imprisoned shortly after by Master Chen)
Season 4 - 7[]
- She made Zane regain his memory and remember who he was before urging him to escape when he discovered she was scrapped and only had her neural drive left, telling him to leave her and escape to go help his friends and stop Chen, showing her willingness to sacrifice herself for Zane and the ninja. Once Zane inputted her neural drive into him so she could survive, she complimented him and warned him that Clouse was about to knock him out albeit it was too late.
- She would assist the ninja numerous times as part of Zane’s mind, helping explain things and direct tasks for the ninja.
- She saved Zane from the Mechanic and Vermillion Warriors by diverting power to his chest to shock them.

- She saved Lloyd from falling to his death after he lost control and his Elemental Dragon disappeared.
- She tried to reason with Nya when Nya confronted her and attacked her for taking her suit (as no one knew of P.I.X.A.L’s identity as Samurai X), saving Nya from falling to her death and revealing that she hid her identity as Samurai X as Nya once did to protect the innocent as her allies and loved ones would be at risk if her identity was revealed, which convinced Nya that she deserved to be the new Samurai X. She thanked Nya when Nya decided to give her all her former Samurai X stuff and agreed to Nya’s terms to change her color scheme from red and stop interchanging voices with them leaving on good terms.
- She saved the ninja and Cyrus Borg from the Vermillion Warriors and got Cyrus Borg up to the Iron Doom so he could input the self-destruct sequence to stop it (although unfortunately Acronix and Krux arrived and were able to defeat them and use the Doom to escape into time itself).

Once the foreign agent was purged from her system, she regained control of herself and reunited with Zane and the other ninja, telling Zane she kept her identity a secret to protect those she cared about and also comedically as Zane points, she didn’t want to be stuck in his head before hugging him and agreeing to no more secrets between them.
- She convinced Zane that they should fix the Bounty and the comm link to go after Lloyd and Harumi instead of getting lost in the jungle and remorsefully acknowledged when Nya found the Samurai X suit that it was Nya’s suit even though Nya said it was okay and it was P.I.X.A.L’s now.
- She confessed to Zane how she wanted to be a useful member of the team and was willing to go back into the computer if he required her assistance in the headset even though she liked having a body before Zane told her how it was always her choice and made her regain her confidence as they renewed their promise to be honest with each other.

- She rescued the ninja from the collapsing pyramid they were on and informed them of Aspheera’s attack on Ninjago City, getting them all back to Ninjago City to stop her.
- She fought off Aspheera’s forces using the defenses of the monastery she built and had Kai, Jay, and Cole help her finish building a mech to battle Aspheera with.
- She saved Wu, Jay, Cole, and Kai from Aspheera and was obviously horrified when she (seemingly) killed Zane using the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu. However, once it was revealed that Zane was alive but banished in the Never-Realm, she remorsefully fought a scroll possessed Wu with the other ninja so they could go rescue Zane and used the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu to send the ninja there before realizing from Wu that the ninja were stuck there and that he lied about being able to return from the Never-Realm so he could go alone as he believed it was all his fault, but together they worked to try and open a portal to the Never-Realm using the Traveler’s tea.

She launched counter measures to save everyone from the Merlopian’s target locked torpedoes and successfully piloted the Bounty to escape.
