* TheCharmer: He proves to be ''very'' suave in "Castle Destro", impressing the Baroness herself. Destro basically convinces the Commander to allow her to arrive at his home so he can sell the latest high tech weaponry for them with a witness to see if it's worth their time, yet it's not only a sale, but an elaborate way to have Anastasia join him on a date. One that proves quite successful based on [[WhenSheSmiles the Baroness' reaction.]]



* NobleDemon: Compared to the rest of COBRA, he's by far a more approachable person. He views the Joes as worthy opponents rather than the unwanted annoyances the rest of his cohorts underestimate. And whenever his plans fall apart he take full responsibility, even defending the Baroness from the Commander's wrath a few times.

* AdaptationalWimp: This Destro is not even half as clever as the Commander is. In most Joe media, Destro's usually on equal footing with his partner in crime or even a full-on DragonInChief whose the real power behind COBRA. However, this version is outsmarted and beaten in his place by the head snake. Even Dr. Mindbender is not afraid to mock him to his face.



* BenevolentBoss: It's a much safer bet to work for him than Mindbender, Baroness, or Cobra Commander. He treats his employees at MARS better than the Cobra Industries grunts and even detonates his experiment in a failed attempt to kill the Joes, not just because they'd beaten him, but because his employee Scrap-Iron was injured in the crossfire.

* FingerlessGloves: Wears a pair of these, usually to highlight her skills as a BadassDriver.



* AdaptationalNiceGuy: ''Heavily Downplayed''. Though this Baroness is just as wicked as most incarnations and has very cruel moments, she lacks her HairTriggerTemper and [[short fuse SuddenlyShouting]] of past counterparts who constantly grow more hostile in losing battles. Instead she maintains a proper, cold, calculating demeanor in most of her screentime, even when a snag in the plans comes into play.

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She's an elite noble from Cisarovnas family, who rule over Russia with an iron-fist. In this universe, The Oktober Guard was made to overthrow her and her corrupt blood's oppressive rule over their small towns.



* NerdsAreSexy: She's a highly intellectual woman with solid skills at managing a powerful corporation, strategic battle planning, overlooks many scientific breakthroughs, and pull off a charming femme fatale persona all at the same time. Also, one of the perks she enjoys in her relationship with Destro is she gets to enjoy the tech toys he gifts her.



* RichBitch: Baroness is not merely a codename, it is a genuine title she lives under. Anastasia is from an elite family of nobles who rule over Russia, which leads to her looking down upon everyone beneath her paygrade.

Added DiffLines:

* WhenSheSmiles: Destro's smooth moves and charm genuinely bring out a sweet side from the LadyOfWar. You'd almost forget there's a coldblooded terrorist underneath that warm smile.


Added DiffLines:

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler: The last we ever see of him is when he's left in a crashing helicopter which Roadblock and Barbecue ditch. Although there's likelihood he could've gotten out, Firefly is not shown escaping and the show was cancelled before we ever know.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BadBoss: Similar to her Commander, she too does not hesitate to throw underlings under the bus should they not meet her expectations. When a foreman working on the organization's drilling procedures refuses to move the project forward because the tunnel digging might endanger civilian lives her response is to ''electrocute him'' to give him time off.
** When Snake Eyes threatens to toss her cohort Dr. Mindbender to his death in exchange for Scarlett, she doesn't give in and allows them both to fall. Justifying that it's bad business.


Added DiffLines:

* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Similar to ''The Rise of Cobra'', her glasses also act as a mini-computer she can use for missions.

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Flint joked that Duke is Lady Jaye's boyfriend because the two were involved in a mission once. She is quick to deny it and there really isn't anything going on between those two. Of course, she may be concealing her closeness to Duke so her superiors don't figure out she's covertly aiding him. Not to mention, her LongingLook moments towards the soldier suggest something more than friendship.

* MadeOfIron: Like most soldiers, Lady Jaye's taken her fair share of injuries, but quickly walks them off. One time during her assistance towards a Joe escape, she actually ''encouraged'' Scarlett to punch her in the face to make it look like she resisted arrest and was perfectly fine with a minor face bruise.

** The fact that the Oktober Guard, an entire resistance group, who in mainline cannon was the Soviet answer to GI Joe, has apparently been fighting against her family specifically for literal generations highlights just how powerful and dangerous her family is.

* UndyingLoyalty:
** Lady Jaye always saves her fallen fellow officers just as much as Duke. Whether it be her pilot or even [[MeanBoss Flint]].
** Naturally towards Duke too. After he saved her life, she repays him back double by aiding him & the Joes in escapes from Flint's manhunt of them as she truly believes her friend is not the bad guy COBRA claims. It's also teased she may have grown feelings for him thanks to [[RescueRomance his care for her]].



* BadassGrandpa: He's been combating the Baroness' family for a long time, but age has not slowed him down one bit.



* HeWhoFightsMonsters: His quest to take down the Baroness has resulted in him being just as coldhearted as her. Duke has to convince him to care about the dozens of civilian casualties who are going to be caught in his crossfire, to which he is alright with at first.
