When Ah-Ra joins the Band Club, he joins too in order to protect Ma-Ri from her. He likes Ma-Ri and hence gets agitated when Jae-Min hurt her feelings and made her cry. He later on confessed that he liked Ma-Ri and asked her what does she like about Jae-Min to be going out with a human even though she is a vampire.
