Sonata Dusk is shown to be somewhat air-headed and carefree, similar to Pinkie Pie.

For example, before the Dazzlings sing battle

in the cafeteria, Sonata is more focused on getting lunch since it is Taco Tuesday. Also, she and Pinkie are the only ones who actually seem to enjoy Snips and Snails

' rap performance. Sonata doesn't pick up on Adagio's sarcasm when she says she "loves" the Human world

, and she speaks candidly with Sunset Shimmer

about her and her friends' true nature, nearly blowing their cover. In addition, she frequently argues with Aria Blaze

over trivial matters. Despite this, she can be just as cruel and devious as her bandmates, if at times unintentionally so, as evidenced in her interactions with Sunset Shimmer and Trixie

.
