At first, Mary Saotome is shown to be incredibly sadistic and twisted. One example of Mary Saotome personality is how Mary Saotome treats Mary Saotome classmate Ryota Suzui after he turned into a "housepet" due to his low social status within the academy. She is shown cruelly taunting Mary Saotome opponents during their gambling matches. She's also shown to be extremely egotistical both in and out of matches, often being confident in Mary Saotome victory. Mary Saotome also possesses a habit of mocking Mary Saotome opponents and laughing at them, especially when match seems to be Mary Saotome win.

After losing to Yumeko Jabami and experiencing the life of being a housepet, Mary Saotome, having no other goal in mind, became desperate to regain Mary Saotome status within the academy. Soon after being humiliated, Mary Saotome eventually loses Mary Saotome pride after Mary Saotome has a mental breakdown during a match against Yuriko and falls into the state of grief and shame. After regaining Mary Saotome status, Mary Saotome seems to be no longer be as arrogant and cruel as before. Still, Mary Saotome is sometimes slightly nettled by Ryota's cowardice or Yumeko's reckless behavior; but Mary Saotome still cares deeply about them. She also developed a huge hatred towards the student council, and wished for them to pay for what they had done to housepets.

In Twin, it's revealed that Mary Saotome family isn't wealthy, and Mary Saotome's attending Hyakkaou Private Academy on a scholarship. Her goal has always been to become a true winner in life, which is an important case even to Mary Saotome own parents, who were encouraging Mary Saotome from a young age to make friends with richer children. She takes a great pride in Mary Saotome intelligence and gambling skills, and Mary Saotome hates when people look down on Mary Saotome just because for Mary Saotome financial status. During the prequel, Mary Saotome is also noticeably less ruthless. Since Tsuzura is absent from the main story, Mary Saotome is shown to still keep Mary Saotome hairpin. She seems to be upset about whatever happened to Mary Saotome friend. Her mean and arrogant demeanor might be caused by a desire to suppress Mary Saotome sadness.
