Personality and characteristics
The Carbink servants are considered to be 's bodyguards as they raised her when she was young. Out of the four Carbink, Dace was considered to be the most serious.

Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope are very loyal to Diancie, and are very dedicated to protecting her no matter what the situation. The three are almost always seen escorting Diancie wherever she goes and also began to worry when Diancie had fled from them to go to the big city. However, Merrick, Bort, and Allotrope can sometimes get annoyed with Diancie when she is oblivious to their situations, such as when they were panicking due to being chased by a group Ariados, yet she told them to help Pangoro and greeted it. This is also seen when Diancie is playfully running from them even though they had serious news for her. Merrick is capable of speaking telepathically, and appears to be the leader servant of the three. Bort and Allotrope, however, appear to be incapable of speaking telepathically.

Dace is shown to be quite knowledgeable, especially about the Allearth Forest as well as the powers of Xerneas and Yveltal. It used this knowledge to advise Ash, his friends, and Diancie while they were in the Allearth Forest. It is shown to have given Diancie the objective to find Xerneas and its Fairy Aura. However, it is quite serious and was rather annoyed with Diancie when she took it lightly. It also was annoyed when Diancie replied to it with "okie-dokie!", telling her that a simple yes was good enough. Like Diancie and Merrick, Dace can speak via telepathy.
