Tempest is determined, concentrated and independent. Initially, she is cold and standoffish, distancing herself from her partners-in-escape. She only looks out for herself and doesn't care if others are left behind. Much of her motivation is fueled from what she perceives as failing to take down the cruel King of Kaltader, Vanitas Sanguis Glacies. As she journeys with Tageslicht Thunderburst (Who she soon nicknames Lumen) she acts as his mentor and maternal figure. Taking him under her wing, Tempest becomes more emotionally open as Lumen acts as a surrogate sibling and helps her see the errors in her approach and realize the mistakes she made throughout her time within the walls of Kaltader. She begins to show compassion and trust in others, instead of relying on herself, and becomes the leader and, to a degree, protector of the other escaped defectors.   (Try a Lightning (FFXIII)-like voice, if possible)
