Minerva is the strongest Mage of Sabertooth, formerly the strongest Guild in Fiore. Minerva is an outwardly calm and confident person. She speaks in an archaic, old form of Japanese. Befitting her speech, she is very mature and wishes that the people around her act accordingly. However, during the Naval Battle event of the Grand Magic Games, Minerva shows a sadistic side of herself, purposely keeping Lucy within the water sphere of the fourth event when she could easily have removed her, whilst at the same time continually beating and striking her with both her body and Magic despite Lucy's inability to fight back. Even after the event was declared over, Minerva showed no remorse for what she had done, and instead held Lucy's ruised body up in a trophy-like manner, smiling at her own victory. In battle, Minerva enjoys sadistically toying with her opponents. Excusing her actions as an act of "boredom", she tortured Millianna during Erza and Kagura's fight, slashing the former's back. Also, just to rile her opponents, she stated that the screams were like "music to my ears". Just like her father, she views Sabertooth as the strongest and believes weaker Mages to be nothing more than "trash". Minerva also doesn't hesistate in taking a hostage to achieve the ends to her own means, even if the hostage is a comrade, like Lector, or her opponent's friends, such as Happy or Millianna.

When faced with defeat, however, Minerva's sadistic and cold nature, along with her severe level-headedness, disappear. She instead, turns into an apologetic, cowering figure, quite opposite her general, outwardly portrayed self.[12] In addition, it appears that Minerva, despite her sinister attitude, truly does love her Guild and only wanted to make it the best that it could possibly be, as she was seen crying upon Fairy Tail's victory in the Grand Magic Games
