Yogan Yalu's personality is a complex amalgam of personalities–that of his former unjoined self, Yogan Verso; that of Yalu, the symbiont to which he is joined; and those of the symbiont's previous hosts.  Like all joined Trill, Yogan underwent years of training to ensure that, once joined, the symbiont would not overwhelm his own personality.
Yogan is an innate idealist, and possesses a nearly inexhaustible optimism.  His belief that all people are inherently good occasionally causes conflict in his professional life; he struggles to understand why good people suffer.  He dislikes the constraint of arbitrary rules, and tends to support creative thinking and the rights of others to do as they please.  He tends to give the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.  Yogan struggles to accept challenges and criticisms as opportunities to better himself; rather, he can take them personally and become mired in self-doubt.  Yogan wants to be liked, and avoids if he can, preferring to adjust himself rather than risk confrontation with another person.
Since joining, Yogan's symbiont and former hosts have influenced his personality, creating a more extraverted, pragmatic, and social individual, but also one prone to impulsive decisions, cynicism, and a flair for the dramatic.
