[[File:Missy close up Death in Heaven.jpg|left|thumb|Missy taunts the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'')]]

Though he had previously preferred a male form, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Novel of the Film (novelisation)|The Novel of the Film]]'') the Master was indifferent when he learnt he would regenerate into a woman, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') and, fully embracing her new gender, the Master changed her title to "Mistress", shortening it to "Missy". Considering herself to be "old fashioned", she insisted on being addressed as [[Time Lady]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'', ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'') while nicknaming herself the "Queen of Evil". ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') She also adopted a [[Scottish]] accent, claiming she would keep it after taking a liking to the [[Twelfth Doctor]]'s accent, ([[TV]]: ''[[Deep Breath (TV story)|Deep Breath]]'') occasionally utilising other accents when she felt the need. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'', ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'')

Though she continued to show progress with her rehabilitation and made an effort to do good on the [[Mondas]]ian [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]], when she was approached by her past incarnation, she relapsed back to being [[evil]] by allying with him, ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') but continued to be conflicted with her allegiance, admitting to the Doctor that she was "in two minds" about what she wanted. However, after being moved by the Doctor's speech on kindness and request for her help, Missy stabbed her past incarnation so that he would regenerate into her and she could stand with the Doctor, only for the Master to shoot her beyond regeneration, leading to her death, though she shared the amusement in her "perfect ending" being shot in the back by her past incarnation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'')

Missy showed a liking for singing, substituting her name in with "Mickey" in the song "Mickey" while in UNIT custody, and singing a verse from "Happy Birthday, Mr President" when giving the Doctor control of a Cyberman army. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') She pulled a similar stunt involving "Mickey" lyrics via text communication when she announced her presence to UNIT by halting all aeroplane traffic, and, when imprisoned by [[Colony Sarff]], she passed the time by partaking in opera singing. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') Missy was also good at playing the [[piano]], and passed her time in the vault playing ''[[Für Elise]]'', ''[[Pop Goes The Weasel]]'', ([[TV]]: ''[[Knock Knock (TV story)|Knock Knock]]'') and ''[[The Entertainer]]''. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Lie of the Land (TV story)|The Lie of the Land]]'')

[[File:The_Master_begs_the_Doctor_to_hear_her_plans.jpg|left|thumb|Missy begs the Doctor to ask her to explain her plans. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Five Masters (comic story)|The Five Masters]]'')]]

Missy was a devious planner and skilled manipulator, able to manoeuvre others into place with ease by exploiting their desires. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') While trapped on [[Skaro]] with [[Clara Oswald]], Missy demonstrated fluid planning as her desires changed from wanting to ally with the Daleks, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)|The Magician's Apprentice]]'') to wanting to help the Doctor, to then wanting the Doctor to unintentionally kill Clara. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'') She was also a convincing liar, especially when using her talent for manipulative reasons. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'', ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') However, Missy would often opt for one solitary scheme with virtually no contingencies or back-up plans in place to help steer events back towards her favour like her previous incarnations employed, instead opting to give the Doctor false hope of reaching Gallifrey after she was beaten, ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') and walking away with nothing but taunts to say when the Doctor didn't kill Clara.
