Overall has a calm demeanor. Matters are considered with deliberation generally, although this does not always result at distraction; attempts to keep up with surroundings also frequent. Beyond relative ease, can be considered relatively spontaneous and carefree: going about decisions gradually unless otherwise pressured. Despite this, has a subtle expressiveness rather than anything overt. To that extent, a sense of cheerfulness may not always be evident if outward attention is lacking, which can be the same for other tones. Not overlooking her strength, would potentially cause significant harm if it meant keeping relative peace.

History
One day woke up.
Since that initial awareness, a degree of activity has existed around the cityscape. This has not been unnoted by others who exist there further, and discussion has occurred between herself and other individuals on occasion. This often occurs from a relative distance, her presence around fountains and other structures frequent and coinciding with decisions made by others.
Although possessing an inherent knowledge, does not recall anything prior to becoming sentient. By extent of this unfamiliarity, has gone about consciously mapping the cityscape and by extent has met various persons over the timeframe active.
Trivia
Stands around 179 cm and weighs around 409 kg.
Wanders, but typically keeps to herself.
Mostly active at night, and when otherwise indoors.
Does not often go indoors, but when doing so often needs some divide between her stone structure and the flooring.
When not indoors, and when relevant, may use fur-lined snow shoes; wool a sound insulator. Initially (some years prior) might have been told to use relevant wear, being heavy and sounding the same.
People have given her clothing on occasion for various purposes. Whether this is asked for or not has situationally differed. Relevant articles are at times exchanged or left in specific nooks. Albeit, other persons at times find these and abscond with them, meaning need for replacements occasionally.
Knows a relative amount about herbal and other medicine. Occasionally can be seen studying ivy and alike free-growing plants.
Sometimes sits around fountain areas to pass time, while parks may otherwise be wandered through.
Seeing her randomly in places that are unexpected has unnerved people on occasion, more with the fact that she seems perceptible to most persons around the cityscape.
Capability to remain inert has bypassed relative suspicion on occasion, although people have noted that certain objects do not stay in one place. This is typically further overturned through skepticism, but those cognisant of matters still offer support where necessary.
Does not have an opinion about other statues by far, preferring a surface-value approach.
Can be described as having a soft speech and manner, which belies composition.
Despite a lack of usual volatility, chemical structure and further fact can mean outer risk. This is a possibility that is unlikely to impact matters typically, but that is not irrelevant or unrecognised.
Galena as a stone is poisonous and can oxidize into a further toxin. This does not remain constant; other material is present which reverts any relevant changes.
Toxicity is a risk. That context might be in some regards amplified. Silver is magnifies energy and acts as a ward against ill intent.
While she might not have been initially meant to be sentient, that still happened through an unknown means.
Whether present at a religious or burial locality, stone statues were meant to designate and protect those vicinities. This may not be distant as a fact, even when likely not known or understood.
Conducts energy very easily, and while this might not damage her structure, what is conducted can be further hazardous to surrounding individuals.
If threatened or anger exists for a long duration (while unlikely inherently), the change from ‘harmless’ galena to anglesite may occur rapidly. This would be visually hard to discern due to similarities. Beyond risks related to structure, the toxicity to the latter alloy would be reason for further caution.
Likely does not give off lead dust, but being as she is: a lot could happen from conflict. Self-interest means possible complications.
If slapping or shoving someone in recoil, considerable harm could result. The fact that anglesite is absorbed by the skin would be another reason for concern; more if wounds are or become relevant.
May not stay to that chemical structure indefinitely; a sort of reversion eventually follows, most likely due to other compounds present.
Aside from other plants holding interest, seems to appreciate thyme and coliseum ivy by far. The aesthetic, miniature size of the plants, and their medicinal uses not overlooked.
May wear terrariums containing either thyme or (hanging) coliseum ivy.
Likes to throw snowballs at random objects during the winter.
Reads frequently and keeps smaller books in an interior pocket.
Nonfiction and historical works appear to be a preference.
Has been damaged before; the fragmented areas gradually repaired themselves.
