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

Shaw Adino's life is filled with training and learning for all sorts of situations, from the mind-numbingly normal to the utterly bizarre. As such, Shaw Adino has developed into a rather resourceful individual. This has made Shaw Adino a mix of academic and scholar, always with something to offer to any discussion. However, knowledge and training does not always translate well to the tense environment of the battlefield, and no amount of textbooks can prepare one for reality...

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

Shaw Adino is a lateral thinker, and when she encounters problems or dilemmas, she is very good at improvising and coming up with alternative solutions. This allows Shaw Adino to find ways out of situations others might give up on. While these solutions are often not so obvious to others, Shaw Adino can typically explain and lead others through her plan...as long as they are patient and willing enough to trust her outside thinking.

Sometimes the only way to prepare for the worst is to always expect it. Shaw Adino takes this philosophy one step further by never leaving home without accounting for every possible scenario she might expect to encounter. Shaw Adino tends to always have the right tool or item for a situation and has a habit of quietly and almost smugly presenting solutions before anyone even recognizes there is a problem. This foresight is far from infallible, however, and she often finds herself at a loss in situations that go beyond what she could have imagined. While incredibly practical and often a life-saver in a pinch, her perpetually pessimistic outlook on daily life can be a bit draining on more optimistic-inclined companions.

Shaw Adino works hard to maintain an image of fierce tenacity despite being of a smaller stature. To that extent, Shaw Adino has learned to not take jabs about her stature offensively, but to instead burn them quietly as fuel for her inner spirit. The flame that is sparked as a result is controlled by Shaw Adino's discipline of never overestimating her own abilities or those of her opponents. She has trained to fully utilize her size as an advantage when fighting larger opponents. She knows exactly how to leverage her weight to deliver the most effective take downs or maneuvers. The effort to maintain this image can be draining at times, and when outmatched or overwhelmed, Shaw Adino becomes susceptible to a loss of spirit.
