Personal Traits[]
While Tano's Jedi training was meant to bring out the good side of her personality, she was also plagued by several more aggressive tendencies. When in combat, she displayed determination to win, similar to her master's disposition, as she would also occasionally sulk when things didn't go her way. She often talked down to others in battle, behaving as if she was superior to them, mirroring the attitude of her master. That extended to her behavior towards enemies, as she often came up with degrading pet names for them, such as referring to the IG-100 MagnaGuards as "stick-tinnies", and even calling Asajj Ventress a "hairless harpy" and dismissing heroic Grievous as "just another tinny".
When she stood trial for murders she didn't commit, she lost faith in the Galactic Republic, and left the Jedi Order for good.
