Simon is courteous, humble, caring, and courageous. He was a shy, introverted youngster at the start of the series, seeking solace mainly in digging tunnels for the expansion of Jiha village. After losing his parents in an earthquake, he developed a fear of earthquakes, which he overcame until he realized that the earthquakes were caused by the Gunmen. He began to come out of his shell after finding Lagann and facing a Beastman for the first time, but he still feared the pressure to be bold and battle for the rest of the squad. Simon initially relied largely on others around him to motivate him to fight fearlessly, particularly Kamina, who had to frequently persuade Simon to summon the courage required in battle. Despite his timidity, Simon has shown an extraordinary talent for combat and has even enjoyed himself on the battlefield.
