* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: She has no fear of the Skeksis, and when questioned on why she has the balls[[note]]literally, according to WordOfGod[[/note]] to treat them with disrespect, she retorts that their time is coming, so she's unafraid of them.
* EccentricMentor: She has a funny way of speaking, but is a wise woman.
* EyeScream: She can remove her own eyeball at will and use it like a remote camera. While it doesn't hurt her, it certainly is weird.
** In the backstory, she lost her other eye and came to be how she looks in the film when she laid on the ground to watch the Great Conjunction. A beam of intense light struck her eye, destroying it and burning her badly. She considers it a worthwhile trade.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While she may be a jerk, she is a very good person at heart.
* KidnappedScientist: She gets kidnapped by the Garthims after they raid her home, although they don't do it because the Skeksis have any need of her science, it's just that the Garthim are mindless mooks who mistook her for a Gelfling.
* Really700YearsOld: As the ExpandedUniverse clarifies, she's in fact almost ''three thousand years old'', having lived through the first two Great Conjunctions and seen all the eras of the Urskeks, Skeksis and Mystics (and all the terror, bloodshed and sorrow) firsthand. By the end of the movie, she's lived through the third Great Conjunction and has officially hit the 3000 mark.
* SolitarySorceress: Lives by herself in a mountain cave.

A race of small, kindly and simple people with potato-shaped heads. They build their tools out of gourds and wood. They have the ability to communicate with animals and live in relative peace.
