Personality

Limstella, like most other known morphs, is distant, calculating, and eternally loyal to their master and creator Nergal. They do not outwardly express any emotions, and follow Nergal's every command without question.

Limsella conducts interactions with subordinates in a formal and impersonal manner. They keep their tone neutral and states things plainly even when informing others of their failures.^[4][5]Sonia seems to have been the only person to come anywhere close to provoking a reaction from Limstella. If Limstella is present to witness Sonia's death in the conclusion ofNight of Farewells, Limstella makes a comment that "Puppets have no essence to harvest."; "puppet" is a rather informal word for Limstella to use, though it is a word Sonia herself would use often when berating morphs.^[6]

Limstella may possess some unintended emotional capacity, which can be gleaned from speculation stated byCanas andRenault,^[7] as well as their dying words.^[8] In particular, they express sorrow during their death. While it is technically ambiguous as to what they are sorrowful about, it is likely to be due to the fact that their time in service to Nergal has ended.
