Domino seems to have a very close relationship with [[Giovanni]], receiving orders directly from him and maintaining phone communications with him at many times, even things that have little to do with the mission.

She also has a quick temper, but can restrain it if the mission calls for it. However, when the [[Giovanni|Boss]] gets mad at her, she takes it out on [[Team Rocket grunts|lesser agents]].

Relationships with other members

Domino seems to have a very close relationship with Giovanni, receiving orders directly from him and maintaining radio communications with him on numerous occasions, even regarding things that have little to do with the mission. The closeness is furthered by her attempts to reason with him when she thinks his actions will jeopardize his own goal; not many people could talk back to Giovanni and get away with it. She also has a quick temper, but can restrain it if the mission calls for it. However, when the Boss gets mad at her, Domino takes it out on lower-ranked agents.

Because Domino is so elite, Giovanni appears to feel safe in entrusting her with commanding lesser agents. She spearheads the Mount Quena operation, leading a crack team of over a hundred Rocket Grunts into the caves. She also recruits Jessie and James after finding them in a prison, and makes them cleaners of the new Rocket Base in exchange for releasing them, all while humiliating them.

Domino's high status and approval by the Boss have made her quite vain, and although she uses Jessie and James to help with the base, the first time she reveals herself to be a Rocket, she betrays them due to her disgust at their bumbling ways and disgracing of Team Rocket, bursting their Meowth Head Balloon. The treatment of Jessie and James inadvertently ended up working against her, however, as Domino was fleeing from the attacking Bug Pokémon, she slipped on the floor—which was still wet from Jessie and James cleaning it under her orders—ultimately falling face-first into a bucket of water. Jessie and James note the irony of the situation with glee.

In the end, Domino's memory—along with the memories of Giovanni and the rest of the Rocket grunts—is wiped by Mewtwo, so she has no recollection of what transpired. She is last seen leaving with Giovanni aboard his helicopter, with both of them confused as to why they were even there to begin with.

One of her cover assignments was acting as a university student under the teaching of Cullen Calix. When questioned about the veracity of her being part of the university by Calix when she revealed her true colors, she confirmed she indeed was in the university, and implied that Team Rocket has agents everywhere.
