Personality: If you were to pass by Hakuno in the hall, you wouldn't think she's anything special, or anyone worth notice. In fact, she is actually mistaken for an NPC early on in the war. To her advantage, though, this seemingly blank personality has aided her in battle. People underestimate her abilities, thinking she only managed to squeak by round after round by sheer luck. It isn't until the last few rounds that she's truly taken seriously as a Master. But she only starts out like that! To new people or people who do not know her, she may seem that way, but she's very much her own person on the inside.
Another notable thing about Hakuno is that she's oblivious to certain things. Like really. The phrase "dumb as a sack of bricks"? That could apply to her at times. Don't get me wrong, she can be quite intuitive sometimes. But other times she's... very not. This mostly comes up when topics turn... well. Sexual. She can feel attraction, like when she got flustered over Rin feeling her up on the first day, or when Rani kissed her... but she just doesn't get it. During the latter scene, she's confused and thinks that Rani was kissing her as a way to further strengthen her bond with Saber (she turned out to be right, but still). In another, when she was peeking in on... er. Rani... "transferring mana" to Saber, she didn't seem to entirely understand what the process was, despite heavy hints that will not be discussed in an attempt to keep this application clean.
But that doesn't mean she's completely oblivious to all forms of affection! She loves her friends dearly and deeply. One of the things that keeps her going throughout the War was her desire to spend time with Rani, and she was able to understand the complex explanation Saber gave on how she loved her people. Hell, one of the dialogue options right before fighting the final boss has her saying that only the people that care about matter to her. And to someone who has no memories of their life before the War, and no real recollection of who they are, this is very true. Over and over again she talks about how important Rani, Rin, and Saber are to her, and she'll do quite a lot to keep them safe. She's pretty good at making friends, on that note! She was friends with Shinji freakin' Matou resident slimeball of the Fateverse. That sure says a lot about how much she can put up with.
Needless to say, she's quite the determinator. In fact, her determination is what kept her alive in the preliminaries, and is in fact sort of a requirement to pass. When she was struck down, she thought about giving up several times, but managed to tell herself over and over that she can't die, this can't be the end...
Yes, she's afraid to die. Everyone is. This fear has near-crippled her several times, mostly in the confrontations with Julius and Assassin. But at the same time, she's extremely selfless and is willing to sacrifice herself if need be. When it was revealed that, as a program, her data would be deleted after she touched the Moon Cell... there was some fear, but in the end, she knew what she had to do, and she went through with it. She wanted what was best for the world, and if she could help change it, she would gladly give up her life for it.
Oh... she's also pretty snarky when she wants to be. While it doesn't show much in her actual dialogue, her inner thoughts can be quite sharp if the occasion calls, like questioning Saber on her flamboyant, artistic tendencies, or commenting on Rin's tsundere attitude.
