Personality;
Aqua is depicted as a calm, collected, and kind young woman, always being a balance between her friends. She, like Terra, is extremely responsible, shouldering burdens and expectations, always striving to better herself for the sake of her friends and for the worlds. She is respectful to both strangers and her Master, treating them with a degree of polite distance until slowly warming up to them and their strong hearts. She treats her Master as both father and teacher, the latter more than the former, with both fond care and attentiveness. From him, she's learned one of her greatest assets; Aqua is a very studious and careful listener, directing all of her attention on those who need it.
While Terra's use of his power in the exam cost him his spot as "master", it's clear that Aqua deserves the position despite her unwillingness to alienate her friends and cause trouble. Due to how advanced her magic is, it's apparent that she is Master Eraqus' most diligent pupil, despite his more apparent bond with Terra. From Master Eraqus, she also developed her strong sense of justice - something she and the other two share - and a need to see the worlds at peace, light or not. She does not fully share her Master's drive to eliminate all darkness, instead opting to co-exist with it in balance, and keep the light strong. In fact, she accepts Terra's darkness more readily than the rest, mostly after she has time to resolve her own inner conflicts between duty and friendship, and which means most to her. She's found that there needs to be a balance of things, and that Terra's intentions have always been good, no matter how strong his darkness is.
Her friends mean more to her than anything else, which is why she made the star charms for them in the hopes that it would keep them all safe despite distance and any changes they should encounter on their journeys. They are her life and her world, and while it is not very apparent at first glance, it's easy to see how relaxed and at ease she is around them, holding no pretenses or passiveness towards them. Instead, she delights in their quirks and their kindness to her, despite any disagreements between them. She's much more capable of accepting their critique and harsh words than anyone else, knowing that they can be angry at her sometimes. That doesn't make her a pushover, however; hearing how she is acting and how it may be wrong only pushes her to correct herself and do better. Her heart is strong enough to push through despair and negativity and merely see situations as a chance to improve.
She's always treated both Terra and Ven as equals, no matter their skill levels and differences in opinion. Because of their distinctions in training, learning, and in personalities, it's easier for her to make friends with a variety of people on other worlds. While she isn't as fast as Ven to make friendships or to trust others, she is still very capable of forming long-lasting bonds, whether they be of camaraderie or something even deeper. She actually, arguably, has the most amount of bonds and friendships by the end of the game (they are all shown at one point and her sequence is longest). Her heart goes out to the people she encounters and she becomes more than willing to help them and resolve their problems.
One thing of note is her shyness in regards to romantic situations. Growing up and believing that her duty to her friends, her Master, and the worlds is more important than anything else, Aqua has been stunted in regards to any sort of outside relationship. Terra and Ven are friends and while she loves them, it's clear that this bond transcends any normal relationship. She doesn't even consider them to be romantic with her in the slightest, and finds herself feeling uncomfortable and awkward when Zack asks her out on a date. The normally confident and calm exterior gives way to a shyness and hesitation that's rarely ever seen with Aqua. She's quick to duck out of the situation and it never comes up again, but it's certainly a glance into a side of her that's not normally exposed to the surface.
