Alethia spent her entire adult life, before joining Odan-Urr, fighting for the New Order and, although the Empire itself may have failed her, she still hold to its ideals. She appreciates order and devotion to duty, believes the government and military have a central role in civilized society, and suspects that ‘democracy’ is just a euphemism for anarchy. Her belief that this is the only path to a peaceful life for the average citizen is so overwhelming that she has difficulty even grasping the concept that others disagree. Alethia expects unwavering loyalty, to Odan-Urr if not to her personally. Those who disappoint her find the consequences most unpleasant. This puts her at odds with many of her Clanmates, who view her idea of ‘a safe and secure society’ as a totalitarian dystopia, and worry about the extreme lengths she’ll resort to in order to build it.

Information and intelligence have always been Alethia's favored tools, because they represent control. Her weaknesses are not really weaknesses unless an enemy discovers them, while knowing her opponent and feeding him false information allows her to completely control his movements. Thus information is an obsession for Alethia, and she constantly conducts espionage and fact-finding missions, even against her allies. While this usually pays impressive dividends, her need to know and be prepared occasionally raises the ire of her targets. In other cases, it causes her to put off action in favor of research. Those around Archenksova are never quite sure what she does and doesn't know, but it's usually more than they would like.

A naturally gregarious woman who was raised for life as a socialite, Alethia has an almost instinctive understanding of etiquette and can be exceptionally charming if she’s in the fight frame of mind. However, years of deceit and paranoia prevent her from lowering her guard enough to truly connect to people. Alethia has many superficial friends, but hardly any that she really trusts. Moreover, this charm vanishes when she’s ‘at work,’ and for every barfly or dance partner who’ll tell you how sweet she is, there are two SeNet operatives who will grow pale at the mere mention of ‘Major Archenksova.’

Between her desire to control other's impressions of her, and the genuinely horrifying things she's seen and done over the years, Alethia has become generally unflappable. Most people who manage to impress her or shock her never even realize they've done so. This makes her an excellent gambler and gives her a great deal of personal satisfaction, and usually provides more comfort than frustration to those under her command. Genuine expressions of fear, disgust, or horror tend to be dismissed by those familiar with her as bluffs or attempts at humor.

Many Jedi and their allies seek to preserve life even when their own is under threat. They use their abilities only for defense, never attack. Alethia is not one of them. Like Tarkin, she believes that winning this battle isn’t enough; the only way to protect yourself is to win every battle by taking away your enemy’s will to ever oppose you again. She doesn’t care about elegance, technique, or fairness in combat. Her only concern is finding a way to crush any resistance as efficiently as possible. Consequently, she fixates on destroying her enemy and is loath to withdraw and negotiate a peaceful settlement, even if it would be more beneficial to her or her allies.

Alethia is hardly the galaxy's deadliest warrior, and she's certainly no Jedi or Sith. While she's competent in several forms of combat, she realized a long time ago that her training is simply insufficient for a fair fight against most of her enemies: so she cheats. An abundance of grace and cunning, charm, stealth, surprise, unusual weaponry, and a thorough understanding of her enemy can prove every bit as deadly as a Sith's lightsaber or a sniper's blaster. In combat, Alethia steers her opponent into hazards and does whatever she can to lure him into situations that turn his strengths into weaknesses. Ideally, she will attack her enemy in a way that he won't recognize until the damage is done. Unfortunately, this only works in situations where she is able to move freely and control the initiative of the fight.
