Dislikes: Ignorance, following the crowd, peppers, wasting time, crying, overly constricting rules, being ignored, and imperfections.
Motivation: To make things better. It doesn't matter if it's a research project, a public fountain, or a relationship; if Psi can improve on something, she will. Her cutie mark represents her special talent, which is also her passion: psychology. She never tires of exploring how the mind works and will spend countless hours doing experiments. In her eyes, improving the understanding of how ponies think is the ideal way to pass her time.
Strengths: Psi is a unicorn with an iron will and a calculating mind. If she decides to do something, she does, often with great success as there are few things that don't come naturally to her. She values intelligence and knowledge, with a rich inner life of her own that often seems abstract, complex, or unusual to others. An expert on body language with a sharp tongue, she is incredibly persuasive when she wants to be, and often knows exactly what someone else wants.. Whether or not to give it to them is a different story; she's generous and enjoys making others happy, but won't compromise her own position to do it. And, though logic dictates the majority of her decisions, Psi can't deny that she has a very strong intuition that gives her even more of an edge. It's rare for this combination of rationality and instinct to completely fail her. If it does, however, she is surprisingly open minded and willing to accept critique or the right answer when it presents itself. Her constant eagerness to improve overrides any personal sensitives, making it easy for her to separate her emotions from the task in order to do what needs done with ruthless precision and dedication.
Weaknesses/Flaws: Because she's so bright and intuitive, Psi has a tendency to believe that she's always right. She may be too quick to dismiss the opinions of others once her mind is made up. Also, at times she can be a little narcissistic and overly confident. But these faults are things she's aware of, so she does actively try to avoid them. One 'flaw' that she's much less sure of how to handle is her highly logical - sometimes too logical - way of looking at things. She generally doesn't realize that she's done something insensitive until afterwards, when it's too late. Psi is slow to become upset at all and may not even understand why somepony else is emotional, or worse, she might ignore their feelings completely. Facts are facts, commitments are commitments, and emotions have no reason to interfere. She puts 100% of herself into whatever she does, and has similar expectations of others, which can cause her frustration as well.
Fears: Psi's greatest fear is to fail at anything she has put a genuine effort into. She's easily startled, and hates loud, sudden noises, such as fireworks. Also, she tends to hold back a part of herself for fear of being judged by the few whose opinions really matter to her.
Overall Persona: All things considered, Psi is an intelligent, motivated, and creative pony with a rational viewpoint of the world. She can be really fun to hang out with, considering her quick wit, ability to tell what others need, and willingness to try almost anything. Her social faults can make her seem cold and aloof at first, but if you manage to get close to her she will prove an invaluable friend. Psi never breaks her promises, abandons someone who needs her, or deviates from what she knows is right. The most true and important things in life are worth defending, no matter what.
