Hermione was stubborn, naive, very impulsive and quite immature, causes often her to reacted to the slightest provocations, teasing and insults, her friends who regularly calls her the "immature noblewoman", "short-tempered lady" or "impulsive spoiled brat". Hermione hates when they giving orders to her, she rebelled and disobeyed easily mainly with Juliet and often acts on a whim, which often leads and caused herself into trouble and also to her friends, it's worth losing trust in her friends and being rejected. Hermione acts often as a spoiled brat, she loves being admired by people and is believed to be the most beautiful noblewoman.

She remains sweet, charismatic, innocent, endearing, she's highly caring particularly with her dearest friends like Romeo and Tybalt if they have any trouble and participate in battles to protect them.

Hermione's "queen bee" personality is due her childhood marked by loneliness and fear, as she suffered so much when the other children put her apart as they are afraid because of her supernatural powers and her birthmark on the back while calling her as an outcast. That's why she always want to caught their attention by becoming popular and acting like a good noble lady by any means, Hermione hates so much loneliness and feeling abandoned, but hoping to have friends whom she trusted.
