Mandrake appears to be a nervous but understanding LeafWing, and he even agrees with the fact that he's not like the other LeafWings when [[Cricket]] asks him if all LeafWings are loud and "shouty”. He is shifty, quiet, and unconfined, which causes him to be looked down on by his family. It is known that Mandrake likes to tend to the LeafWing's poisonous insect collection, where "he was always happy tending to the bullet ants and venomous centipedes"{{Ref|TPJ|67}}. He seems to be slightly indifferent about being Sundew's fiancé, but also a bit proud due to the fact that he told [[Blue]], Cricket, [[Swordtail]], and [[Bumblebee]] that when first introducing himself. Mandrake is especially nervous when catching prey or facing battle, as it was shown that even during life-or-death situations like facing an over-sized panther, he needs to stop and breathe to calm down and think. He is also very understanding when Sundew tells him she wasn't going to marry him, Mandrake says he knows and hopes she is happy to be with [[Willow]].

Mandrake is first seen trying to kill a panther while his father, Wolfsbane, and his sister, Nettle, watch. He is extremely nervous and keeps panicking before he can seize his opportunity.

When Sundew appears, he seems happy to see her, though he is visibly disappointed to have his sister's suspicions of Sundew killing the panther confirmed.
