According to Roxas, Yin has a very skewed definition of what a family means, the exact same definition of what her mother said before. Despite having constantly watched over Yang in her corvid form and sometimes with or without her mother, Yin never took apart in her sister's life or try to meet her in spite of her semblance, but deep down, she really wanted to meet her family such much of what she really wants to meet them but she knows that that will never happen because she doesn't want to end up a traitor like her uncle for leaving the tribe. With Roxas, the only reason she would visit him was only when she needed something from him rather than trying to maintain or reestablish a good relationship with him. When reunited with Yang and finally met her for the first time, Yin used a theatrical attitude trying to be welcoming to Yang and Roxas by praising them and offering hospitality, only to drop the act after Yang stated that she wasn't here for her and their mother.
She also does not understand why Yang and Roxas both chose to stay with their former teammates despite how close they both have becoming with them, as well as underestimating how far Yang and Roxas would both go for Ruby by trying to scare or convince them with knowledge about Ozpin and Salem, which instead only reinforced their own determination to reunite and protect Ruby.
Yet despite her ruthless and immoral behavior, Yin isn't totally devoid of morality as she showed some regret for her actions, such as the treatment of her family and for not helping the previous Spring Maiden. When watching her mother battling Cinder, she is also disgusted by her complete lack of scruples in her quest for power, calling her out for having me come a monster by getting a Grimm arm. However because of her pride, Yin often tried to deny her true feelings, hiding it behind an aloof attitude. She also states Vernal that she did not care about her twins and the rest of the other side of the family being in danger due to her mother's plan even though her body language said otherwise. Likewise, when Ruby made a proposal for her and Raven to join them, she showed an instance of vulnerability, before hiding it and dismissing her entirely.
Yin is just like her mother with same appearances and mostly same personalities that she inherited. The question that Yang asked Raven if she killed her previous self including Yin's previous self too, caused Yin to be shocked and looked away, indicating that Raven was once a braver, more in realistic woman before leaving and before raising Yin to become just like her mother's new self.
After defeating Cinder, Yin shows of soccer side, taking the time to close the deceased Vernal's eyes and thank her for her service alongside with her mother. The side of her is further shown in which she, her twin, Raven and Roxas share an emotional conversation. After Yang calls Raven out for killing the former Spring Maiden and Roxas calls Yin for not helping the former Spring Maiden, cowardice and hypocrisy in refusing to fight Salem and Yin determined that she wanted to kill Rave since she knew who and what he really is, being furious at her sister and Roxas for them protecting Rave, but not knowing the whole thing about Rave and for showing a callous interference to her own twin's well-being, Yin once more begs her twin and Roxas to stay out of the war against Salem, but to no avail. Yin subsequently breaks down in tears, apologizing to Yang before fleeing away with her mother who felt the same way.
