Domino seems to have a very close relationship with {{an|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 him 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, she takes it out on {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|lower-ranked agents}}. | Domino seems to have a very close relationship with {{an|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.

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. | Because Domino is so elite, Giovanni appears to feel safe in entrusting her with commanding lesser agents.

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 [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|Meowth Head Balloon]]. | 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 [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|Meowth Head Balloon]]. The treatment of Jessie and James inadvertently ended up working against her, however, as Domino was fleeing from the attacking {{t|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 {{an|Mewtwo}}, so she has no recollection of what transpired. | In the end, Domino's memory—along with the memories of Giovanni and the rest of the Rocket grunts—is wiped by {{an|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. | ||
