Despite whatever all her other characteristics may convey, Ishanta retains the air of a person that is confident, if not arrogant. Minor (and often, major) things in her body language - her walk, her stance, her expressions - reveal these feelings. At times, it seems she borders upon narcissism, especially judging from how much she enjoys her own company.

Ishanta is a master of fitting in and impersonation. There is scarcely a planet in the galaxy where she can't manage to find a way to fit in, be it throwing together a convincing imitation of local guard or pretending to be a regular local. Ishanta is so good at such that she may have seemingly lost all sense of personal style and flair, leaving her as always simply the imitator.

All who gain power are afraid to lose it, and Ishanta is no exception. Some use their power for good, some for evil; Ishanta, however, knows that these are just points of view. She is on a quest for greater power, and uses all her skills and abilities to ensure her supremacy, regardless of the consequences.

Ishanta is extremely cocksure and headstrong. Possessing a keen wit and exceptional level of intelligence, Ishanta will often use her superior intellect to humiliate lesser minds. Basically, she is kind of a jerk, and that can sometimes get Ishanta in a bit of trouble.

Ishanta will never go into any situation head-on. Whether it be combat or just strolling down the street, she will stick to the shadows or cloak themselves in the Force. The less they are seen the better. If they cannot sneak up on someone, then Ishanta will not bother confronting them.

Ishanta seems to get her thrills, perhaps sadistic ones at that, from toying with her opponents. Some are content with simply striking down or injuring their opponent, but that is not enough for Ishanta. No, she wishes to see her enemy descend into madness or kneel before her as a blathering mess; or even better, as a fresh new servant with a muddled mind. The Puppeteer usually forsakes outright hurting and maiming her opponent and focuses on illusions, mind tricks, and other wicked means of destroying a person.
