Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, he was shown as being a cat-like Dream Demon who wore a white mask. This mask took the form of white skull-like shape and he wore a red cape with a hood.

Also, in the human world, he was seen as a black cat with something like a cape tied around his neck.
As a dream demon, John Doe has shown to be well informed and knowledgeable about the actual situation of the dream demon's appearance in the real world. Calm and mysterious, he hardly shows any sign of worry or concern when he faced Merry.
He was single-minded in his pursuit in acquiring a human body so he could transition from the Dream World and live in the real one.
John wanted to use him as a vessel. When he failed due to the interference of Merry, John decided to monitor the situation and when Yumeji was injured by Engi, John brought him to his own Daydream to protect him from other Dream Demons as he healed. John also helped Yumeji by giving him advice which led to Yumeji to create his Lucid Gadget. When Yumeji summoned him to help fight Noir and Landsborough, John helped him but tried to be aloof about it though his Little Chasers revealed his actual intent. While initially intent on using Yumeji as his vessel, he later heals him of his wounds inflicted by Engi Threepiece and helps him understand how dream demons came to the real world. He claims his motive behind his actions is because he is "an ally of the truth". After helping them John got a cat as a vessel and takes the role of a pet in the Tachibana house and had Yumeji choose the name for the cat when the other members of the house tried to give him unwanted ones. When they faced Hercules, John was supportive of Yumeji's reckles plan. John would later be Yumeji's first Dream Demon to do a Vessel Transfer to use Ultra Lucid Gadget.
