Mae has been her own boss for the majority of her life and has always been in direct control of it. As a result, she tends to take direct orders as suggestions. Unless it is something that directly benefits Maenaki, the Seltron will try to talk or charm her way out of things. When she needs to do something that she does not want to do, but it keeps suspicion off of her, she will smile as she takes the job. However, this has lead to the occasional missing file, civilian casualty, destruction of property, or injury to her allies.

Maenaki is not quite a sadist. She derives no joy from harming others; although she is adept at gleaning information from unwilling sources. However, she prefers the suffering that people cause themselves by making ill-fated judgments and bad choices. This makes her one of the worst people to come to when having a bad day, as she will spend the time - that she should be listening - struggling not to mock or smirk. Obviously, this keeps even her closest friends at arm’s-length.

Having lived her life as a diplomat, blackmailer, and spy, Maenaki is well versed in concealing and controlling her emotions. She tends to keep her closest feelings and thoughts buried, only allowing them to be seen as necessity dictates. However, Mae seems to know what people want to hear and see and has learned to adapt that into her personality. The Seltron believes that every emotion a person displays can be used as a tool to mold them to her will. Whether she wants someone to like her or hate her is entirely dependant on a person’s usefulness to her. She goes out of her way charm people and is very difficult to dislike in the majority of social situations. But those who are more resilient to her wily ways tend to have their reservations, which can easily lead to suspicion. And despite all her control, Maenaki still makes mistakes.

Maenaki is sweet, polite, friendly and does not have a single care in the galaxy about people or their feelings, but she fully knows they have them and how important they can be. She can read a lie all over a person's face with her keen perception, or feel them radiate desire with her other senses. Depending on whether or not she wants something, she can be more or less inclined to toy with a person's feelings to her benefit or amusement. However, those who are resilient to her manipulations she finds rude, quickly growing bored and intolerant of them. Her sudden and callous dismissal has been known to invoke the anger of others and has been the cause of Maenaki learning to hold grudges longer than the average life expectancy.

From a young age, Maenaki found herself excessively skilled with Force-imbued mental prowess. Everything from puzzle solving and social conduct to complete mental domination. As she has learned the limitations of her abilities, she has also learned when they are best applied... and when they are not. Maenaki goes to extremes to keep herself out of harm’s way and will instead attempt to Mind Trick another to fight for her. This can cause her significant problems should she underestimate an opponent's Resolve or simply be too distracted to concentrate on the desired outcome; not to mention the issues this could cause should she use it on an ally who survives and disapproves of her tactics.

Maenaki is educated in combat but she strongly believes that words outweigh violence. However, this makes her anything but a pacifist. Mae understands that physical pain can play just as a significant a role in dominating someone's will as psychological abuse can. So when the Force is not an option and violence is needed, Maenaki will study her opponent and lash out with her wits, whip, lightsaber or even her fists. Her primary goal is to capture and interrogate, as she believes that the best predators can take their enemies alive. However, this belief can give her great difficulty when she comes up against more built for battle or mentally resilient foes. She then will either choose to run...or fight like a trapped beast. When battling for her life, her lack of real combat experience can put her at a huge disadvantage, especially when she stops thinking and begins reacting on her primal instincts.
