Given first impressions, Tildaen might come across as quite shy and jittery. He stutters when he is nervous, and he is nervous most of the time outside his usual circle of friends. Owing to his difficult upbringing, he is prone to being quite insecure, focussing his attention on trying to please others. He can also be very controlling, or overly sensitive, imagining bad intentions when there weren't any. | Given first impressions, Tildaen might come across as quite shy and jittery.

Being brought up in a deeply matriarchal Betazoid family has left him deeply conscious of different gender roles. This has made him a little uncomfortable playing the more masculine role that suits Terran society. He has developed a profound personal and academic interest in Klingon culture, which emphasises extremely macho behaviour for men. | ||
Despite his apparent lack of self-confidence, Tildaen Ethelwin is warm and energetic when he interacts with people whom he trusts. He tends to need approval from others to feel good about himself. He is hurt by indifference and doesn't understand unkindness. He can be a very giving person, who gets a lot of his personal satisfaction from the happiness of others. He likes to have a good time with others, in sports or at social occasions. In social relations, he most deeply wants to be appreciated for what he is, though this is an impossible thing for his very traditional family to do. | Despite his apparent lack of self-confidence, Tildaen Ethelwin is warm and energetic when he interacts with people whom he trusts.

If unbalanced or intimidated, Tildaen is likely to treat any point of view other than his own with a kind of amused indifference or a tendency to keep those with differing attitudes and opinions at a distance. At its worst, his conflict with the obstinate and unfeeling contingent realities of the world has him retreat to a kind of psychological castle where only those who have the “right” or “nice” approach can enter, and where feelings based on often tortured logic, attitudes and judgements reign supreme and cannot be questioned; a place where: “give and you shall receive” can ironically twist quickly into: “off with his head!” | If unbalanced or intimidated, Tildaen is likely to treat any point of view other than his own with a kind of amused indifference or a tendency to keep those with differing attitudes and opinions at a distance.
