Through a combination of preparing, studying, and analyzing, Alara Deathbane creates detailed battle plans and tries to think two steps ahead of the enemy. At times, however, this can lead to Alara Deathbane creating complicated schemes that can baffle less intelligent subordinates.

Alara grew up surrounded by nature and feels more at home in the wilderness than in any kind of urban or developed landscape. Her Survival skills allow her to live off the land for extended periods of time, and she has become accustomed to using Beast Control to reach out and befriend the wildlife she encounters. These 'friends', as she calls them, can act as company, guards or even sentries. However, if she were to lose control, or if it were resisted, this would be a significant source of distress for her. While Alara tends to have a natural affinity for nature, her willpower can waver when in new cities or overpopulated settings.

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

Alara is like a Naboo lake: placid on the outside, yet deadly below the surface. When drawn into combat, her tranquil demeanor vanishes in an instant, replaced with uninhibited aggression and animalistic fury. These sudden surges of violence have the advantage of being utterly unexpected, but combined with her aggressive passion and temper make it difficult for her to work with people she is unfamiliar with. She prefers to work alone - where she doesn't have to worry about her anger offsetting her teammates - but has made strides with her patience thanks to her recent experience as a leader.

Where most err on the side of caution in a confrontation, Alara Deathbane prefers to charge in head-first. While others may skirt a battlefield or keep their careful distance, Alara Deathbane rushes in with devastating attacks with seemingly no regard for safety, relying upon instinct and possibly armor to protect her from dismemberment and death during her all-out attacks. Alara Deathbane is a force to be feared on the battlefield, leaving a trail of death and destruction. However, Alara Deathbane's blood-hungry ways put her in far more danger than the normal combatant, often resulting in needless injury and suffering, trading safety for pure offensive ability.

Alara Deathbane is utterly devoted to success in combat, no matter the mission, no matter the cost. She has spent her life building herself in the image of war, utilizing a dogmatic regimen that has lead her to a single-minded obsession with military success and requires intense physical and mental training. This training, however, has come at the cost of anything resembling empathy or concern for others - even her superiors and subordinates.
