History

Season 1 A Time to Travel Naldo appears when Shelby and Cyd appear in the RV because he was helping Barry with the time machine. He then uses the Time Traveling Machine to get chest hair which doesn't turn out that well. After that, he plays around a lot and he isn't all that smart at science. After Cyd gets angry, Naldo comes back and mixes chemicals in the "Blast Box" and turns out differently. Barry becomes very annoyed with Naldo but they are still best friends.

Personality

Naldo isn't the smartest person, but he is able to talk to girls. He is considered smooth and can be random at times. He occasionally loses focus and begins blabbering, and is fun-loving and ready to take on the world. He is also completely trustworthy. Naldo is also good at giving advice and tends to cheer people up when they're feeling down, the most notable one being Barry. He is a caring person and doesn't talk bad about anyone. He clearly doesn't understand the things he and Barry do together, and even mistakes several scientific words for swearing. The only thing he understands are emotions.
