-->'''Shepard:''' I'd like to know more about you.
-->'''Legion:''' Topic?
-->'''Shepard:''' When we took you aboard, I noticed you have a piece of N7 armor welded to you. Where did you get it?
-->*beat* ''[Legion looks at his right shoulder]''
-->'''Legion:''' ...It was yours. When you disappeared, we were sent to find you. We began where you first encountered the Heretics.
-->'''Shepard:''' Eden Prime...
-->'''Legion:''' After the Old Machine's attack, it was heavily defended. We were discovered. ''[waves his right hand over the hole in his torso]'' This is the impact of a rifle shot.
-->'''Shepard:''' ''["That was two years ago." is selected]'' You've been looking for me for two years?
-->'''Legion:''' We visited Therum, Feros, Noveria, Virmire, Ilos... a dozen unsettled worlds. The trail ended at Normandy's wreckage. You were not there. Organic transmissions claimed your death. We recovered this debris from your hardsuit.
-->'''Shepard:''' That doesn't explain why you used MY armor to fix yourself.
-->*beat*
-->'''Legion''': [[CaptainObvious There was a hole...]]
-->'''Shepard''': But why didn't you fix it sooner, or with something else?
-->*beat*
-->'''Legion:''' ...[[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove No data available]].

** Mornith claims that her only crime was being born an Ardat-Yakshi. Apparently murdering hundreds of people and enslaving villages don't count as crimes.

* TheSociopath: Explicitly stated in the "mission complete" overview after ending Samara's loyalty mission.

* ItsTheJourneyThatCounts: Legion's philosophy, and by extension, the rest of the geth, though when faced with extinction, they betray that code (to Legion's disappointment.)

* HasTwoMommies: Morinth's father was an asari. If not for that, she wouldn't be an Ardat-Yakshi, which is strongly suggested to be the reason such unions are discouraged. It probably doesn't help that her maternal grandfather was also an asari.

* [[MasterActor Master Actress]]: One of her “wide range of talents”, perfected to the point where she can mimic Samara’s voice and cadence to a T.

* TryNotToDie: If she survives ''2'', she'll send Shepard an email apologizing for leaving without telling anyone, and tells him "Take care of yourself. I'd hate to hear you were killed before we get a chance to meet up again." It would be heartwarming, if not for the fact Morinth wants Shepard [[DeathBySex all to herself]].

"I love any game where your opponent can believe he's about to win...just before you kill him."

* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: DefiedTrope. In the first few conversations with Shepard it's clear that unlike the [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot common fictional portrayal of AI,]] the geth are ''very'' different than organics. However, CharacterDevelopment shows some [[DoAndroidsDream surprising depth]]. Every display of emotion he shows is usually called out by Shepard and followed by awkward pauses and Legion saying that they "understand the similarities" or "acknowledge as an appropriate metaphor" but insists that they are not feeling the emotions suggested by Shepard. As these moments become more frequent and common (starting with the [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove "No Data Available"]] line and [[CharacterDevelopment shown much more frequently]] in the third game) it [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial begins to feel more like a façade.]] [[spoiler:A façade that drops in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'' just before his HeroicSacrifice, in which he refers to himself as "I" for the first time and admits that he's sorry and thankful for Shepard and Tali (presuming you convinced the quarians to make peace)]]. Outside of all of this, he is also shown to have [[UncannyValley awkwardly]] organic body language as a [[InvokedTrope deliberate]] attempt to interact more naturally with organics (when Legion is first reactivated, one of its first actions is to mimic one of Shepard's gestures), bleeds some kind of white liquid, and at one point during the final level of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' appears to be ''out of breath''. [[note]]Assuming he's chosen as a tech expert, which is one of the recommended choices, he will seemingly run out of breath while waiting for you to open the valves in the vents. Though this might be due to the reuse of animations from the organics that you can send through that portion.[[/note]]

[[WMG:Morinth aka Mirala]]

* HornyDevils: Ardat-Yakshi means "demon of the night wind." In other words, she's a space succubus. According to the WordOfGod, she's a space ''vampire''. In fact, in conversations with Samara, you learn that Morinth once set herself up as a goddess on one world and was worshipped by an entire village; many vampire stories refer to entire villages being held in thrall. Most telling of all, the name of the vessel that transported Morinth from Illium to Omega is the "[[ShoutOut Demeter]]," the name of the ship that carried {{Dracula}} to England.

* HiddenBuxom: The catsuit she wears when Shepard first meets her makes her chest look considerably smaller than when she switches out to the AbsoluteCleavage outfit of Samara. If her breasts really are as big as her mom's it makes you wonder how she could even breath in the catsuit.

** In the Geth Consensus level in the third game, the critical difference between the memory sequences shown by Legion and those by his SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute is the very last one: a recording of Legion and Shepard shaking hands when Shepard recruited it in his/her mission against the Collectors. This seemingly insignificant act by Shepard is the first actualization of the hope of the Consensus in centuries; that peace can be achieved with organics (and specifically their creators, the Quarians). This is only recorded in the greater Consensus memory if Legion successfully returns to them, and is required to take a third option in resolving the conflict.

* GoryDiscretionShot: You get one when Samara makes the kill. Apparently it's so gory that even cast-iron Shepard averts his/her eyes.

* WickedCultured: As part of his/her role as bait, Shepard must take advantage of her love for exotic music, art and drugs.
