❀ differences with canon
❀ Note: these differences relate to my own interpretation of Kanda and not just fact.
❀ Being female and at a young age (and good looking) for much of her time as an Exorcist resulted in a higher degree of sexual harassment while out on missions. She's been able to beat them back effectively, but as a result she isn't comfortable with attention drawn to her appearance (or sex).
❀ She hates feeling objectified (sexually or otherwise) and it's a button that makes her lash out more strongly. She's more paranoid of people seeing her this way and gets more suspicious of people's behavior and motivations.
❀ She's also not as obtuse to flirting and intent, though she doesn't respond to it well.
❀ She's more domineering--if she doesn't feel she's in a position where she's in control or could get control if she wanted she gets very uncomfortable, tense, and defensive (this mostly applies to situations with other people, rather than locational/duty-oriented).
❀ Has a higher degree of self-esteem, even before the events of the Alma arc. She defines herself as a person first and foremost--being an Exorcist is simply her job.
❀ More aware of her emotions (and more frequently in a state of stress and defensiveness) as a whole compared to canon (which actually doesn't say a whole lot). This actually makes her stronger emotionally as she has more experience handling her feelings, and she doesn't let them drive her as much over rationality.
❀ She's more aware of her attractiveness and actually has a level of attachment to it (she did have influences like Jerry and female finders try to encourage her to be more girly and try it out, to varying levels of success)--but problems with being objectified with it have made her very private about dressing up and showing it off. Since she generally has no reason to it tends to be more of a wistful desire.
❀ Her behavior is more of an active defense to keep people away than just being a side effect of her personality. She's still kind of apathetic and rude with poor social skills, but she actively pushes this kind of behavior as a front.
