Bernice is known to be the captain of the notorious Team Pomnik of Poqui Town. He is seen as a well-spirited person outside of racing that speaks in an American stereotypical manner, but plays it aggressively on the race track, purposely ramming other racers in order to win. Only those with a Chassis 4 Light FX 90 from Norsh or a crafted Rubber Chassis can defensively prevent the bounce back caused by the contact.

Trivia

It is confirmed that the Bernice is a male character. This is supported by the following points/arguments:

Bernice is one of those characters that genuinely have his gender confused due to some seeing the name "Bernice" can be a female name.
Bernice speaks in a stereotypical American way with sass and using keywords such as "babe".
In the Japanese Choro-Q community, Bernice is depicted as a guy with gangster type of clothing.
Bernice style of speech is one that is trying to talk in a hip and cool way. It is noted that he is extremely pushy in an aggressive masculine way which is different to how Luluza, known to be a tomboy-like woman, speaks where she insults the protagonist practically.

There are unused lines found within game files. It is unknown what they were meant to be used for.
