So much so she can't help but obsessed over defeating them with their own abilities to prove her superiority. This ends up biting her hard in her rematch against Rosetti who was able to take advantage of her bad habit by feigning weakness in order to lower her guard before destroying all her weapons.

* LogicalWeakness: Her class allows her to use the abilities of other classes, but not to the same extend as the original. It also requires her to have their weapons. If the weapons are stolen or destroyed, she can't use them. This was how Rosetti defeated her in their rematch.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the anime she's a lot weaker and clings to Melida more often, whereas in the novels she supports her as an equal and comes through for her on several occasions. A good example would be the battle against Black Madia who easily considers her the more dangerous of the two when they team up against her due to ability to endlessly replenish mana and explosive growth rate.
