Despite being bred to be loyal and serve the Founders, Weyoun 6 realises that both could still apply if he served ''[[LoopholeAbuse Odo]]'', who just happens to be allied with the Federation. Unfortunately, he was killed shortly after by his replacement, Weyoun 7.
** Though another interpretation is that he's not defective at all. Weyoun 6 directly explains to Odo that he still feels that the Changelings of the Great Link are gods and he ''wants'' to serve them loyally, it's just that he's come to the logical conclusion that their continuation of the war is acting against their own best interests: rather than making the galaxy safer for them, it's just making everyone hate the Changelings even more. Given that Odo is the only Changeling who has put aside his biases to reach the same conclusion, it made sense to defect to him.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: As a result of hailing from a species of conquerors and xenophobes, she finds the idea that groups like Starfleet and the Federation could even exist a fleeting notion. On the verge of defeat, she's content to simply order her troops to fight to the bitter end and take as many of the Federation Alliance with them, even when Odo personally promises that Starfleet won't do anything to their people; to her, Starfleet will just use the opportunity of her defeat to wipe out the other Founders. [[spoiler:Odo willingly sharing the cure to her condition convinces her to stand down.]]

* ForgivenButNotForgotten: As an autocratic xenophobe, the Changeling does not distinguish between her obedient subjects and the seditious ones. If it were up to her, the Dominion would have gassed Cardassia Prime in retaliation for the attack on her homeworld by the Cardassian intelligence service. The army swiftly turned around and pledged allegiance to the Dominion as a form of apology -- but the Female Changeling never ''really'' forgave them.

* RevengeBeforeReason: The glassing of Lakarian City. Dominion sledgehammer tactics are precisely what isn’t needed at this stage of the game and their second big mistake (their first being letting Sisko & co.

In a blind fury, the Changeling levels an entire city -- wiping out two million innocents, including children -- and it makes Cardassians more angry than ever.

* FatalFlaw:
** Her hubris. Time and again she assumes that The Dominion is infallible, and that everyone should simply bow down and do whatever they want because they know what's best for everyone. It never occurs to her that people would actually dare to resist on such a large scale, and even then she thinks that their superior fighters and troops are enough to quell any rebellions. All she learns is that the harder she pushes, the harder the opposition will fight back, which leaves her prone to making fatal mistakes when things aren't going the way she plans. She could have gained a loyal ally in Odo had she not decided [[spoiler:to kill Kira to keep Odo from being "distracted"]], which lead him to fully reject the Founders and free Kira, resulting the station being rendered defenseless against the Federation-Klingon task force. This really came back to bite her in the finale when [[spoiler:she starts trying to put down the Cardassian Rebellion by having the Jem'Hadar wipe out every city for each act of insurrection. This just causes the Cardassian fleet to turn against The Dominion, which leads her to order the entire planet wiped out. All that does is just piss the Cardassians off even more, leading her to be captured, and no doubt charged with much higher crimes than she would have been.]]
** Her inability to recognize the power of individualism. Because she hails from a species that believes in the collective whole, she grossly underestimates what one person is capable of. Who alerted the Federation to the fact that the Dominion had almost shut off the mine field to the Gamma Quadrant? [[spoiler:''MORN''. Yes, [[TheBarfly Morn]] completely turned the tide in Starfleet's favor by warning them, thus leading to their full-scale assault on the station.]] Another comes up when [[spoiler:The Breen destroy the ''Defiant'', and she orders Weyoun to let the survivors get away so they can warn Starfleet about the price for resisting the Dominion. This results in Sisko making it out alive, and he pushes the Federation Alliance into attacking the Dominion's retreating lines around Cardassia, leading to a chain of events that result in her defeat.]]
