Edgeworth is usually calm and level-headed, but is typically seen as a snob due to his cold, ruthless, and generally aloof nature. He has a certain lack of social skills and tact, making him very insecure and awkward around others, including being rather resistant to having his picture taken. Being taught as a child to glare at people who looked at him, this habit continued as an adult, unwittingly intimidating others, even to quirky degrees. Edgeworth dislikes the limelight.
