Xemnas speaks with calmness and deep authority, strangely similar to Master Eraqus. He has a tendency to be melodramatic, making long-winded speeches, and exaggerating his false rage and sorrow with wide sweeping arm movements and hand gestures. His exaggerations represent his lack of emotion. He is very intelligent and manipulates others, particularly Sora and his friends, for his own interests. | Xemnas speaks with calmness and deep authority, strangely similar to Master Eraqus.

Xemnas's personality seems to share traits from both Master Xehanort and Terra. From the former, he inherits his manipulative nature, the concept of the Organization's black coat, and the idea of adding the letter "χ" to rename himself and his fellow Organization members. From the latter, at the very least, the Nobody inherits a familiarity with Aqua's armor, which he refers to as "friend", and his strong desire to find his other "friend" [[Ventus]] in Castle Oblivion, as he has Saïx search for the Chamber he sleeps in. However, it is greatly implied later on in the series that this desire to find the chamber is due to Xemnas seeing the potential in Ventus as a possible vessel for Master Xehanort's heart, rather than Terra's sleeping memories of his former friend, and attempted to use Terra's connections with Aqua to obtain the chamber's precise location from her. | Xemnas's personality seems to share traits from both Master Xehanort and Terra.

Upon his final defeat, Xemnas admits that he felt a bond with his first Organization and that he took them for granted. What he feels at the very end is loneliness, the very first surge of emotion he has felt in years. While considering a heart nothing but pain, Xemnas is told that pain is part of being human; he gives a smile to Sora, commending him on having a will strong enough to handle the pain. | Upon his final defeat, Xemnas admits that he felt a bond with his first Organization and that he took them for granted.
