Corelyn is paranoid, to an extent. She hides the fact that she's a pure-blooded Garlean in any way possible, because she's deathly afraid of being found out. While she means no harm to - in fact, she wants nothing more than to help - Eorzea and its people, she fears that being found out - especially about certain aspects of her past (she was "forced", more or less, into the VIIth Legion and fought at Carteneau), would get her outright reviled or attacked.
She's immensely afraid of undead. She's prone to either fits of catatonia or murderous sprees of "make everything stop moving" if anything undead or resembling one gets too close or touches her.
Being Garlean, she's entirely unable to manipulate aether in any form. While she appears to have an ability to teleport through aetherites, it's actually a one-way return to her workshop in La Noscea through magitek. She has attempted arcanima severalk times with the use of a ceruleum-based ink, but not only is it far too expensive to be useful, it's very volatile. She's blown things up by accident with it before in her 'experiments."
She's a little too bold sometimes in the search for knowledge. This has gotten her in trouble before, and hired help/bodyguards hurt or even outright killed in some cases. This is partially due to her attempts at playing off the "helpless researcher" front to avoid using her firearms or gunblade, due to aforementioned paranoia.
Corelyn has trouble understanding a good deal of Eorzean customs, being born and raised in Garlemald. While she detests the Empire and its search of conquest, she is still proud of her home for what they have accomplished without the need of magic or aether-based abilities. She also catches herself seeing people as "brutes" or "savages" a bit too often and has to mentally correct herself.
It's very difficult for her to "dumb things down" for people when explaining how things work. If not just for having been irritated that she must explain to someone, it will be because she simply hates to think of anything on such a broad scale so as to leave out details she views as important.
