Personality;
Babydoll is, above all, an enigma. She's withdrawn from the world, which is why she creates not one, but two fantasy worlds to retreat to so that she doesn't have to deal with the harsh reality of facing a lobotomy within a week after her family is all killed. For all of these things to happen so quickly, she's certainly traumatized, but her trauma is subtle. The fantasies that she creates for herself are what shape her now, and the girl that she was before her mother and sister died-That doesn't matter anymore. That girl is gone, leaving only "Babydoll."
She's a very strong girl, both physically and mentally. Though the dream worlds are an escape, we do learn at the end of the movie that all of the events of the brothel really did take place in the asylum. Babydoll is not a passive woman by any means. Given an impossible situation, she doesn't sit back and lament, she fights. Her fighting isn't reckless either, it's very calculated and planned out as much as she possibly can. She's clever and definitely smart, though she doesn't usually overtly show it.
This is likely because Babydoll is rather shy. She's the kind of person that doesn't speak unless spoken to, but can muster up confidence to take a leadership role when she has to (like in the brothel/asylum). She's quiet and withdrawn, which is likely, when coupled with her young appearance, why she got the nickname "Babydoll." She also doesn't like for people to see her weaknesses, thus why she waits until why everyone's asleep on her first night to cry alone in the bathroom.
In terms of flaws, Babydoll isn't as rational as, say, Sweetpea. While Sweetpea is afraid of the consequences of their plan, Babydoll is willing to risk everything to accomplish it. Unfortunately, this does include the other girls' lives, though this is far from intentional on her part. She needs their help to escape, yet her desire to leave is mostly selfish. The girls that help her can follow her to escape, but ultimately, she just wants to escape her lobotomy/deflowering. This is later something she regrets, but at this canon point, their plan is almost done.
She's also very conscious of herself, though this awakens mostly after the first time she dances. Babydoll's dance is hypnotic, and she knows the effect it has on people, and this is the main point of their plan to escape. She uses her sex appeal to her advantage, though ultimately, she's still very uncomfortable with her sexuality. According to Emily Browning (Babydoll's actress), the step-father we see at the beginning sexually abused Babydoll, which is why the brothel replaces the asylum in her mind; a place where her sexuality is on display is the most frightening thing for her, and one that she wants to escape with all of her heart.
So, overall, Babydoll is a damaged girl. She's withdrawn because of the traumas of her past and her present, but this doesn't stop her from having an incredible amount of fight. She's willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish her goals, whether it means dancing on a stage or being ruthless on a fictional battlefield. She creates illusions for herself to cope, but the young woman inside does occasionally seep through when she's with the other girls. She's sympathetic and kind, but all of those positive traits will disappear in an instant when faced with adversity. She'll kill if she has to, but ultimately, she just wants to be free.
