'''Lappland:''' That red one... oh dear... Doctor, I don't want to get any closer to her! If we fight each other, I'd definitely die. But I have this feeling... this feeling... ugh, why do I crave a fight with her so much?\\

* BloodKnight: In contrast to her previously insane self who's [[DissonantSerenity demure in the midst of battles]], Laurentina enjoys sawing enemies a ''bit'' too much, as evident in the story and her lines. Her Elite 2 outfit flavor text even explicitly said that she has always loved fighting, and one of her base skills is actually called '''War Fever''' [[note]]In base, upon reaching Elite 2, she can be used as a trainer to significantly speed up other Specialists' final skill upgrade (Mastery 3) at the price of additional Morale cost. The latter is considered as a separate base skill, in Specter's case it's called "War Fever". Other class variants for these trainers also exist, such as W for Snipers and Gavial the Invincible for Guards[[/note]], ''for crying out loud''! Her deployment quote basically says it all:

* AmnesiacDissonance: The original Guard version of Specter is a [[NunsAreSpooky docile but robotically violent nun]] who lives in a secret medical bay accessible only to the most senior of the Medical Department. In battle, her [[DissonantSerenity eerily blank expression]] in the face on extreme bloodshed she wrought unsettles the operators that got deployed along with her. When she regains her memory, Laurentina shifts to her real personality; a SpiritedYoungLady with equal amounts of passion towards fighting and arts. The most talkative Abyssal Hunter, she's outspoken and prone to CulturalPosturing, but not to the point of being purely malicious to others. A fan of the sculpting arts, she turns her sterile room into a personal studio, filled with marble sculptures. The one thing that stays, though, is her inherent fondness of bloodshed, which is arguably even more than her insane self.

* BloodKnight: In contrast to her previously insane self who's [[DissonantSerenity demure in the midst of battles]], Laurentina enjoys sawing enemies a ''bit'' too much, as evident in some of her battle lines and story comments.
-->"Every battle deserves to be enjoyed."

* {{Conlang}}: Her '''Become As One''' skin displays Aegirian text when she switches to her Substitute. A translation is available [[https://www.reddit.com/r/arknights/comments/130cxdj/comment/jhw4rpv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 here]].
* CulturedWarrior: Specter has a deep appreciation towards arts and is quite well-versed with them due to her upbringing, with her particular main interest being sculpting. She even admitted that had she not been chosen as a Hunter, she would be a sculptor instead.

* TheGadfly: She would occasionally tease others for her own amusement, particularly towards Skadi and Irene.

* GentlewomanSnarker: Her outspoken-ness has led her making some particularly snarky comments, with a good amount of them done in a refined way befitting her upbringing.
-->(upon clearing a mission below 3-stars rank) "Incompletion has its own beauty. That's how you're comforting yourself, isn't it?"
-->(upon failing a mission) "I'm to blame too for placing my trust in you. But don't worry, I'll bear the responsibility together with you."

** While Abyssal Hunters are meant to be [[SuperSoldier superhumans]], Specter particularly stood out in terms of resilience, as she managed to survive the Church of the Deep's experiments that are implied to have killed other Hunters who suffered the same fate. Case in point, the normally lethal Originium injection she suffered only weakened and drove her to madness instead.

* SplitPersonalityMakeover: She has different sprites for her main body and substitute, representing her Abyssal Hunter and nun personas respectively. Her skin '''Become As One''' goes full blown YinYangBomb with the Abyssal Hunter dressed in black and the nun persona dressed in white.
* SplitPersonalityMerge: Upon her RestorationOfSanity, she immediately came to terms with her former insane self and accepted it as a part of her as a whole, even considering it a novelty for the experience it brought to her. Now she normally acts as Laurentina the Abyssal Hunter, but she would occasionally have moments where she reverts to Specter the nun, although it is ambiguous whether it is a true relapse or [[ObfuscatingInsanity merely just an act]]. This duality is represented under her new Dollkeeper class, with her Specter persona acting as the substitute.

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:In her brief {{Cameo}} in IL Siracusano, she does nothing but talk down to Crownslayer after killing her teacher/adoptive father while she was away, seeing her as completely BeneathNotice as she is not a "true wolf", which leaves the girl completely despondent and resentful once Red takes her leave.]]

->'''Height:'''

* BreakingOldTrends: She's the first female and 5-star rarity Geek Specialist.

* ButNotTooForeign: She was born and lived in Columbia, until her grandfather sent her back to Siracusa to live with the Saluzzo family in what was essentially a hostage situation. Her English voice lines noticeably lack Italian unlike the other Siracusa-affiliated operators in "Il Siracusano", drawing parallels .

* MotorMouth: Shespeaks'''incredibly'''fastwith eventhetextgettingontheactwithnospacingusedinbetweenwords.[[note]]Until "Dorothy's Vision's" release where the text is rewritten to be readable, with each space on every word[[/note]] She even somehow manages to say the one-word title of "Arknights" at a far faster pace than anyone else!

* ButNotTooForeign: She was born and lived in Columbia, until her grandfather sent her back to Siracusa to live with the Saluzzo family in what was essentially a hostage situation. Her English voice lines noticeably lack Italian unlike the other Siracusan-affiliated operators in "Il Siracusano".

* NiceHat: She wears a giant hat that gets even fancier in her '''Become As One''' skin.

* InstrumentOfMurder: The "Il Siracusano" PV shows Texas smashing a mook with the bass she was playing, followed by the bass breaking to reveal one of her swords inside.

* TheLastDance: [[spoiler:Her Monthly Squad Record in "Mizuki and the Caerula Arbor" is essentially this. After being betrayed by Aegir and Gladiia left her as she had turned into a Seaborn, she aimlessly wandered and fought through endless waves of Seaborne alone until [[HeroicRRoD she eventually lose her own senses]]. She eventually decided to stop on a rock and performed one last sculpting with her wrecked weapon, succumbing to her fate after she finished her last piece.]]

* SplitPersonalityMakeover: She has different sprites for her main body and substitute, representing her Abyssal Hunter and nun personas respectively.

* BadassInANiceSuit: She is noticeably much more sharp-dressed than her Vanguard outfit, [[spoiler:fitting for a former MafiaPrincess.]] Said suit was commissioned by the Bellone in the style of the Texas ''famiglia'' at the start of "Il Siracusano".

* ButNotTooForeign: She was born and lived in Columbia, until her grandfather sent her back to Siracusa to live with the Saluzzo family in what was essentially a hostage situation.

* ICallItVera: Her twin swords are named Blueberry and Dark Chocolate, named after the flavors of chocolate she was eating when she arrived in Siracusa. Needless to say, she didn't exactly care about naming them. Fittingly, her swords also glow with a blue (the color of blueberry) and dark brown (the color of dark chocolate) aura.

* TheScapegoat: Volunteers to become one for the murder of a Bellone-affliated clerk to try and take the heat off the family in "Il Siracusano".

* {{Expy}}: Just like her Vanguard version, this version of Texas establishes more similarities with [[VideoGame/LikeADragon Kazuma Kiryu]]. Her return to Siracusa as a result of her past catching up with her is similar to Kiryu constantly being forced to re-enter the yakuza world, Texas being revealed as the only remaining member of the otherwise extinct Texas family is like how Kiryu is all that's left of the Dojima family, and during the event, Texas even willingly becomes TheScapegoat for a murder she didn't commit and goes to prison, just as Kiryu did for Nishiki prior to the events of [[VideoGame/Yakuza1 the first Yakuza]].

** Also like her Vanguard version, this Texas draws additional parallels to John Wick, particularly ''Film/JohnWickChapter2'' where [[spoiler:Texas is pulled back into world of mafia politics and intrigue due to a blood oath she made to the entity that saved her.]]

* TranquilFury: Her flavor text implies this.

* InsistentTerminology: Refers to the prey she hunts as "wolves", which is entirely ambiguous as to whether she means it [[HunterOfHerOwnKind literally]] or metaphorically. [[spoiler:A brief aside comment about referring to Talulah as a potential "wolf" ([[DemonicPossession presumably sniffing out Kashchey's possession of her]]) to kill and her actions during her {{Cameo}} in IL Siracusano however implies that what she ''is'' actually hunting are immortal beings that prey on people over specifically Lupos.]]
