She/he is also brave, shown when Your Character chases Flynn O'Malley down when he is dressed as the masked man. They are shown to be dedicated to justice given that they spend days searching for Kate after it becomes clear that Walsh is corrupt and Duffy is incompetent. They are also willing to take risks for others, such as stealing a piece of evidence rather than Naomi or Flynn so they wouldn't get in trouble.
