Pluto is a character in SolarBalls who is one of the five dwarf planets recognized by the IAU, along with Ceres, Eris, Makemake, and Haumea. He lives in The Kuiper Belt.
Personality
Pluto feels alone and reflective, wanting to be important in the solar system again after being demoted. He's emotionally hurt and has a tense relationship with all the other planets except Neptune. He can be sometimes ignorant, such as how he stated he's sad that he's a "moon" of Neptune with Charon directly in front of him, although he doesn't have any malicious intentions as shown in Dungeons and Dwarf Planets with Haumea. In Where does Pluto REALLY come from, he learns that he doesn't have to be a planet to be special and cool and tries to accept himself as who he is. With this newfound realization he and Charon were able to diffuse the conflict of the Moon Revolution.
Regarding those aspects, Pluto is generally a very friendly and somewhat playful planet, poking fun at people sometimes. He seems to enjoy learning about people, a more curious side of him coming out in The Journey to Neptune, asking Triton slightly personal questions and naively questioning how far the Kuiper belt was. Pluto sometimes, having been isolated, can be quite awkward and unsure of his own actions, visibly getting flustered when called out for them.
Pluto has also been shown to have a rather active imagination, such as in the multiple episodes centering around him it starts out with him narrating his journey through to find other dwarf planets as a more adventurous and exciting time than it actually was.
