* JustBetweenYouAndMe: [[spoiler:Partially out of VillainRespect, she reveals her entire plan to Zach and how she had been PlayingBothSides for an entire decade. She does indulge in a little EvilGloating, but by that point, she already had the Hyboreans and a brainwashed army of Spartans, and had effectively won anyway.]]

!!!'''Appearances''': ''Lifebringer'' | ''Final Farewell'' [[note]][[spoiler:Posing as Menaias]][[/note]] | ''Brotherhood War'' | ''Brotherhood War: Aftermath''

* AndIMustScream: Guardian and Zach defeat her by trapping her in an infinite teleportation loop, stranding her in limbo forever. [[spoiler:Come ''Brotherhood War'', however, she's found her way back with a little help from the Reformation.]]
* ArchEnemy: She and Zach quickly develop a fierce enmity for the other, [[spoiler:which only grows more personal by the end of ''Brotherhood War''.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:She successfully topples the [=UNSC=] from the inside with her Hyboreans and mind-controlled Spartans and ends ''Brotherhood War'' as the ruler of the planet.]]

* TheChessmaster: The biggest one in the Spartan Legacy and arguably her greatest strength. Whereas the Shipmaster used brute force and the Fleetmaster used super weapons, the Lifebringer employed deception and patience; [[spoiler:and she's the first villain to achieve victory because of it.]]

* EvilerThanThou: She's far worse than the Radical Reformation, with aims to wipe out the rest of the galaxy so that she may rule over it with her Hyboreans as the dominant lifeforms. [[spoiler:She once again affirms her status as this when she turns on Nyla Isaka and keeps her prisoner as insurance against the Reformation.]]
* EvilGloating: [[spoiler:After revealing herself to Zach in ''Brotherhood War'', she wastes no time gleefully rubbing in how she's played both the [=UNSC=] and the Radical Reformation for fools. Naturally, this gives Guardian enough time to hijack the nearby Centurion...]]
* EvilIsNotAToy: [[spoiler:Nyla Isaka sought the Lifebringer's aid in bringing down the [=UNSC=]. While she lived up to that end of the deal, the Lifebringer opted to take over humanity herself, leaving Nyla to rot in her cell and be as a hostage against the Reformation.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Isaka''': You ''[[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch]]''! We had a deal!]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Lifebringer''': A deal? You must be mistaken. I don't make deals with inferior races.]]
* ExactWords: [[spoiler:The Lifebringer technically kept her word when she helped the Reformation destroy the [=UNSC=]. She just left out the part where she took power for herself after doing so.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/Halo4 the Didact]], albeit unintentionally. [[WordOfGod Chronicler177]] had planned on using a Forerunner as a villain, but 343 beat him to the punch. [[spoiler:She also exhibits shades of [[Franchise/StarWars Palpatine]] by the end of ''Brotherhood War'' as her plan comes to fruition.]]

* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:The Radical Reformation knew they couldn't beat the [=UNSC=] in a war, so they turned to the Lifebringer for aid, believing her Hyboreans will provide the forces necessary to topple the [=UNSC=].]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:''Aftermath'' reveals why she was imprisoned on Cradle--she used a Composer to convert an entire planet of Forerunners into the first Hyboreans, then set them against the Flood. This landed her on trial, where she uses this as her defense.]]

%%** During ''Aftermath'', [[spoiler:the Lifebringer reveals to an imprisoned Isaka her plans to exploit humanity for its resources,
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler:She plays both the [=UNSC=] ''and'' the Reformation like fiddles for nearly an entire decade, directing both sides from behind the scenes, creating a new generation of Spartans to tear the [=UNSC=] apart from the inside. The Reformation finds itself helpless against the Lifebringer when she decides to take control for herself, as their forces had been severely depleted in the six month war with the [=UNSC=], leaving her as sole victor of the conflict and firmly in control of Earth.]]

* PlayingBothSides: [[spoiler:While directing the Reformation as herself, she's also been playing the [=UNSC=] as Director Menaias, meaning she had molded the Spartans into her own army of brainwashed super soldiers right under their noses. When she finally unveils her plan, the [=UNSC=] is taken completely off-guard, with many officers and leaders quickly being executed, and the Reformation is too depleted from the six month war with the former to mount any significant resistance against her when she betrays them.]]

* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:She learns from her first defeat, realizing that the standard method of force wouldn't work. So, she infiltrated the [=UNSC=] under the guise of Menaias and played the long game until she created her own sleeper army of Spartans right under her foes' noses, and completely decimated the [=UNSC=]'s leadership in one stroke.]]
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:During her EvilGloating from ''Brotherhood War'', her voice turns unsettlingly ''venomous'' as she brings up Zach's actions against her and her Hyboreans on Cradle]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Lifebringer''': The all-mighty Spartan, feeling ''so'' helpless! Tell me, Zach, when you were slaughtering my children, burning your way across my planet, shoving me into that ''forsaken portal,'' did you stop to wonder what it must have felt like to me? ''It felt, like, this!'']]
* VillainRespect: [[spoiler:She has a begrudging respect for Zach after he defeated her on Cradle, making him the only human to do so.]]
* VillainTeamUp: [[spoiler:At some point, she was contacted by Nyla Isaka and Marcus Garrett, who offered her freedom in exchange for her assistance in bringing down the [=UNSC=].]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: The reason why she's so dangerous is because she believes she's doing the right thing, regardless of how atrocious and inhumane her actions are.

Even her own race deemed her actions beyond cruel, resulting in her imprisonment.
