This Ena, who has a blue and yellow colored body, seems to be very kind, optimistic, and somewhat insightful to others, even if some treat her rudely. For example, she happily greets and talks to Merci upon finding her in the Maze, despite Merci's translated dialogue revealing she acts aggressive in return and warns Ena about the Maze possibly being dangerous, though Ena seems completely unconcerned or unaware of her friend's advice (but she may not understand Merci and is only comprehending the fake translation). She also appears to talk "proper" and sophisticated, typically substituting various words for longer or more detailed synonyms.

When happy, Ena's mouth and nose shows on her left side, and they move to the opposite side when she is sad. They are meant to look like the silhouette of a head looking to the side. When Ena’s two emotions become too extreme, half of Ena's face becomes white and the other black. Her mouth and nose move to the white side when this occurs, though there are very brief instances in Auction Day where they are on the black side. Her sclera turns black, and the color of her iris changes to correspond with the color of the emotion that she is feeling. When she is happier, her white side is on her left side with a yellow iris, and she appears to be unstable. When she is sadder, her white side is on the right side, with a blue iris. She is also seen to lose her arms and spin around during a tantrum she had while in her sad form. Some of her more extreme movements while in her sadder form leave behind a faint afterimage of herself. It seems the happiness and sadness of an Ena have "phases". The first phase is when the nose and mouth move to the blue or yellow side (via when she is happy or sad), the second one is when her face turns black and white, and her third phase is when she is in her full or glitched form of that emotion.

However, mentioning pessimistic things or being in slightly stressful situations, such as large social gatherings, is enough for her to turn into her sad states, where her voice begins to break as if on the verge of tears and she will begin to self-deprecate, usually making disparaging remarks about her intelligence. She seems to talk in a babyish way, pronouncing her Rs and Ls as Ws, and her voice begins to break as if on the verge of crying. This form of her seems to act essentially the same as her previous sad form but is slightly more extreme. She will also often beg to be killed while in this form, as shown in her conversations with Keeper and Phindoll, or will depressingly agree with the notion of death when it is presented, such as when she talks to Robert. Compared to her base form's sad state, her "sadder" form seems to be more frantic with these outbursts, as this side of Ena comes out randomly, though sometimes when she is first experiencing her normal sad state. She sometimes jumps to conclusions, assumes the worst (as when rejected by Keeper, she takes it as rudeness in her sad form, but her "sadder" form takes it as a way of Keeper trying to kill her), and throws random tantrums, contrasting her happy side’s politeness. She can transform into her full-sadness form if she becomes too upset, constantly crying and stomping around, as shown in Temptation Stairway. She also seems to have an easily upset stomach while in this form too, as she is shown vomiting in both Auction Day and Temptation Stairway, the former of which shows her puking out noise. It appears that her happy side takes over as soon as possible whenever she is sad, possibly to keep her from putting herself in serious danger. Whenever this happens, Ena will apologize for her behavior or engage in small talk.

The same seemingly goes for her drunk form, as she will act like she is drunk, of course, laughing at everything and talking in a slower, more slurred manner, and frequently glitch into her Demon and Diablada forms. Ena doesn't seem to mind her different emotional states and is instead more concerned about the impacts they have on her friends.

An Ena is also seen to be stubborn in situations that don't directly involve her own emotions, in which she'll quickly abandon, change or split back and forth from her current plans. For example, in the instances at which she is asked to give blood identification in Extinction Party and Temptation Stairway, she quickly switches to her sad side and appears to brush off the need for such actions by shouting. An Ena has a strong love for turrón. The dance ENA does while repeating the word "turrón" is a reference to the music video of "Once in a Lifetime" by Talking Heads.

Upon closer inspection, the turrón is a dessert that is commonly enjoyed in the Spanish speaking world, including Peru. The turrón given to Ena resembles a Turrón de Doña Pepa, a dessert prepared for Señor de los Milagros or Lord of Miracles, a religious procession in Lima, Peru. This seems to be represented with the arrival of The Great Runas, who appears to have religious significance in the ENA universe and also appears in the same area that Ena receives the Turrón. An Ena smells like chocolate milk.
