When she impersonates another character with her shapeshifting abilities, she will initially be able to convincingly mimic their personality. As the conversations continue though, she will become more openly violent and sadistic and will often invoke threats or fantasies of extreme violence and grotusque brutality before shifting back into her base appearance. | |||
