Mair Sal grew up never knowing her family. She was sold into slavery very young, and was put to work almost immediately. However, due to her age, Mair Sal bounced from owner to owner until she became a teenager. Having to endure horrible treatment during this time in her life, Mair Sal has lingering trust issues while carrying an absolute hatred toward slavers. If confronted with acts of slavery, she will most likely lash out in some way, regardless of it compromises her objective.

Mair Sal has a sick sense of humor, viewing the world through dark colored glass. She has a biting sense of black humor, often laughing at things that most people would find reprehensible or down right soul crushing. As a result, those that are not used to her brand of humor often find Mair Sal downright unbearable or overly morbid. At the same time, her cynicism can be useful for seeing through the optimistic altruism of those she encounters.

The Sith rely on their passions to give them strength. Mair Sal thinks inwards, only of things that matter to her, and always does what is in her best interests. She feels nothing about hurting others, or exploiting opportunities, and believes herself to be special, and above all others.

Killing has never been a problem for Mair Sal; and she kind of enjoys it now, if she is honest. Killing's what Mair Sal does, and she likes what she does.

Mair Sal vastly prefers ranged combat, taking every opportunity to use skills and Force Powers to disengage from melee and instead fight at range, so much so that she has become competent at staying out of melee in the first place.

Mair Sal 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 Mair Sal. 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.
