Personality:
Hermione had a short-tempered personality for a such "queen bee". 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. Hermione can be very snobbish, egocentric and haughty by criticizing in some ways she found them too pathetic and boring, can laughed loudly as a noblewoman, she believes that the most beautiful will be stronger and able to win, and that others are inferior to compare to her. Hermione is also afraid to fighting and danger. However, Hermione had good sides and very polite so she addressed the people honorably as "lord" and "sir" to men, "lady" and "miss" to women, to nobles and people she respected. 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. Having suffered from loneliness and fear, Hermione easily feels empathy and she quickly realizes the suffering of others, and can not stand when other people have said harm to those they suffer, then did not hesitate to defend 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 (because she was abandoned by her first childhood friend, Mercutio), but hoping to have friends whom she trusted. But as the story progress with the two incidents where she accidentally wounded Juliet twice, Hermione becomes a more serious and protective woman, she becomes more mature, straightforward and extremely calm when the situation demands her in the most extreme cases, like when even prepared to sacrifice herself for the sake of her friends and die for them, or also intervene if Juliet had serious problems.

Hermione acts more as a Tsundere because she tries to deny her feelings, she blushes very quickly and get embarrassed when her tummy was gurgling as she's hungry, to say embarrassing things in front of her, someone cuddled her affectionately, being alone with a close friend, being aware of her bonds to someone, being shy in the company of other close people, or confess her feelings. Despite she still has feelings with Romeo (her ex-fiance in her previous incarnation), and being very distant and reserved with Tybalt because of his resemblance to his younger half-brother, it is implied that Hermione had romantic feelings for Tybalt and eventually revealed later in the series, despite she trying to hide her feelings for fear she will be suffering further, every time she thought constantly with him, she tries to escape several times to avoid revealing her feelings in front of everyone. Although she gets along well with her often close friends despite her personality, Hermione got along very badly with Meg and often quarrels with her.

Note that Hermione hates ugly things which often disgusted her, be dirtied, sometimes bad manners and rudeness, but mostly she was afraid of cats and felines (Ailurophobia), notable with Byakko/Ion who is a white tiger. Hermione also hates the rain, as she can always get sick with her face blushing easily, and this is also her main weakness. She had strong love for beauty and the elegance, sometimes perfumes, luxury and jewelry, and had an obsession with beauty contests and the cheerleaders, and also practice kendo that Tybalt that have learned her and also ninjutsu that the Kouga learned her as a child.
