Her personality also changes a great deal as she becomes incredibly loving and caring for Tatsumi, making her happier, gentle and more at ease. Her affections for Tatsumi also changed many aspects of her cold and battle fanatic character as she even goes on what she claimed to be a night patrol but in truth she wanted to stroll because the moon looked pretty, saying that such a thing is out of her character and that it's Tatsumi's fault. But while she said that, in the case of Tatsumi fighting the Jaegers that the Jaegers would have to fight back, she held on to the belief that Tatsumi was not that weak, and that his will to fight and survive was a wonderful thing, vowing that when they would meet again she would force all her feeling into him. When Tatsumi escaped from the Jaegers on Mount Fake, Esdeath only became more infatuated with Tatsumi, saying her desire for him was hotter now that he left. She shows little concern when Tatsumi tries to convince her to join the rebellion army saying that it's understandable that people hate The Empire and that he would no longer have to worry about it as long as he remained with her, as she would not allow anything to happen to him. Believing him to be uniquely worthy of her affection, she refuses to show romantic interest in anyone other than him, claiming he is the only one she can see as a man and is willing to do anything to protect and keep him saying that she burns with the passion to possess him completely in order to see his smile and have his feelings. She then seeks advice from Bols on how to win Tatsumi's heart and plans to have Tatsumi fall for her using Bols' advice. Tatsumi: Upon seeing Tatsumi's victory smile in a tournament she held, she instantly became deeply and genuinely in love with Tatsumi and immediately claimed him as her own.

After his death, she is shown to miss him as she admitted it herself, but due to the creed she learned from him she nevertheless viewed him as a weak individual. Unknown to Esdeath herself, her father was worried about her lack of empathy for other living things and her developing sadism, but ultimately dismissed these concerns when he rationalized that these traits would allow her to survive on her own. As shown during her childhood, her father had a few concerns regarding her. It was he who she learned the philosophy of the strong survive and the weak die which moulded her mind to strongly embrace the concept.

Father: Esdeath was shown to be close to her father, as she spent her early life under his wing due to the death of her mother.
