Things I know about her personality:
Introverted - Does not actively seek out others, but will welcome those that come to her.
Knowledgeable - Regarding things about the forest.
Generous / Forgiving - Willing to help those in need, even those who shunned her.

...and that's about it.
- From a different culture. Thus, it might be useful to pick a traditional African culture (maybe one that spoke Swahili, since that's what they wanted her to speak in the episode, but they couldn't get a translator) and look at some of their myths and histories for inspiration.
- Slightly slow on the uptake. She, after all, DIDN'T THINK IT WAS STRANGE THAT EVERYPONY WASN'T AROUND WHENEVER SHE SHOWED UP. Or rather, she thought it was strange, but she didn't put two and two together.
- Probably finds Ponyville's well regimented control of the natural world creepy, since she prefers the Everfree Forest.
