Personality;
Being a spy requires a talent in deception, and Spinel is definitely talented. She can change her voice and mannerisms, and sustain this new image for as long as the mission requires. She's willing to risk everything: her life and her dignity included, for the sake of completing the mission. In fact, one might say that she takes too many risks. Normally a spy's job was to get information, run, kill someone if needed to. Spinel infiltrates the enemy's home, makes herself important in his life (as commander of the army in Nepheline's case and as a low-born whore/bride-to-be named "Ruby" in Rhodonite's case), milks the situation for all that it's worth and then runs off with everything she can get.
Spinel has a history of being thrown away and being betrayed, and so she problematizes the reason of her existence. She doesn't belong anywhere or to anyone. And she doesn't seem to have any important personal belongings either. So the missions are all that she lives for. That, and some attachment to Lucille. So it’s okay for her to risk everything for these, even if meant lying, deceiving and getting hurt in return. It beats being dead and it beats feeling worthless.
And in her job she can’t afford to be weak. She can’t afford to be that little girl that gets left behind anymore. Spinel knows that she her real voice sounds cute, or “moe”, and that she’s not naturally powerful looking. So she glares and she snarls and she fights as hard as she can. She hardly smiles. She’s not averse to using violence. Slapping people to get them back to their senses is a perfectly okay move for her. She has a pretty short temper. Her actual speech pattern is not crass, but direct. If given the opportunity to be honest then she will say what she wants... with some reservation. She’s not the type to tell people that she cares. If she did, then this whole fiasco with Lucille would be finished earlier. This might have something to do with not wanting to be rejected again. She won’t say it, but she will be acting upon it in her own way: protecting people from the distance because she’s afraid of getting too close. It’s counter-productive to achieving what she wants: a place to belong; but then she’s used to contradictions. And there are more important duties to be done.
Because Spinel isn’t the type to abandon what she finds herself attached to. Her duties would be one, her friendship with Lucille would be another and, after Lucille had entrusted Eles to her, Eles’ safety. These are things that she takes seriously, and again more things that she would risk her life for. And she won’t stop until she’s sure that her duties have been accomplished without a hitch.
