However, starting from the series 13, Norman's personality and traits have been toned down as he is more well-behaved and less troublesome.
Even though he likes to cause mischief, he does always know when there is an emergency and when to call for help, sometimes, he even tries to risk his life to save someone else in trouble, such as in "Mummy's Little Pumpkin" where he tries to save his mother who was stuck in a building fire, though Sam stopped Norman before he could even go inside.
