I legit can't think of anything about her personality except 'aloof'. I guess as Skadi-Schathach she likes ice cream?
Skadi likes ice cream and loli breeding farms.
Scathach enjoys sulking alone in her gloomy emo castle and jobbing.

Oh right, both are worried about their age, very strong character trait.
She also wants Cu to fuck/kill her, I guess.
Who is their writer?
Spoiler:
Sakurai and Nasu together according to this Mats translation.
Did it take two of them because they really wanted to double down on the lameness?
She does have a personality, it's just less interesting than a technical manual.
Since the former isn't a good writer apparently, you can probably blame them I guess?
Spoiler:
Nasu is a bigger hack than Sakurai.
Nasu wrote all the old lady jokes and Sakurai wrote all the parts where she’s suicidal
What makes a personality?
I'm sure if we sat down and analysed all her appearances (I don't have her in FGO and I haven't played Link, personally) we could probably come up with a half-dozen personality traits (blunt, aloof, battle maniac), but do those traits really reflect who she is as a person? Are they enough to be able to tell how she might act in any given situation?
shit BL says
Once and always and nevermore.
Yes. But she's not very compelling.
I think a lot of the hype (a least for me) was how much personality she seemed to have from Cu's description of her and then her lines in the Gae Bolg vs Fragarach fight in HA.
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.
I am now Woke enough to understand that Scathach is a pitiful character who knows how shittily written she is and that’s why she’s constantly begging for the sweet release of death
Play Inganock
Don't say things like that followed by an "apparently", please. Form an opinion instead.
Sharnoth has cuter girls but Inganock is great.
I feel Sakurai kinda both goes too far and not far enough in how much of her style she injects if that makes sense.
Scathach coulda been a contender

Expresses the exceeding size of one's library.
Books are extremely many, loaded on an oxcart the ox will sweat.
At home piled to the ridgepole of the house, from this meaning.

Being a supporting character in someone else's (Cú) story means Scáthach's portrayal lives and dies on whether you can make her interesting beyond just her role as the Obi-Wan. Also, the fact that there's very little to her backstory means you have much more room to play about with her characterisation, her history and her potential relationship to Skye/Scotland as a whole.
But alas, so far her potential has been squandered... also she's pretty boring. Which one is the greater sin is up to you.
