Personality

Kidball somewhat lacks a distinct personality, mostly appearing as a 'filler character' for comics with children, like classroom scenes - Similar to their adult counterpart Cueball. They rarely speak in comics for that reason, with a few exceptions, like in 3132: Coastline Similarity, where Kidball, not knowing about continental drift believes that one continent plagiarized the other.
