Shyvana is on the surface a rather arrogant woman who believes strongly in her opinions and skills. She can come off as disrespectful, direct or just plain rude on occasion. Rarely bothering to choose her words carefully, she says what is on her mind regardless of the consequences. The matriarchal way of life runs deeply within her and as such, she views males as second class and treats them as though they were animals rather than people. However, there is another side of her and when meeting with someone she respects or can get along with, she can be surprisingly friendly and light hearted with a sharp wit and a strange sense of humour.
