Line 162:
Tough as nails and as rough as they came, Steela was an unpleasant mare and somewhat overbearing leader. Although she was gruff to a fault, her strict leadership had an undeniable level of fairness to it. While she would scold her soldiers harshly for messing up, she would be just as willing to show them a warmer, gentler side if they impressed her. It's clear Steela cared for her soldiers, even if she showed it incredibly sparingly. She was also extremely brave, constantly throwing herself into harms way to protect her town and her soldiers if they couldn't protect themselves. Although she had a good heart, she was still a rude, condescending and hostile pony who lashed out at just about anypony unlucky enough to cross her. It's unknown how much of this was her actual personality and ho much of this was from stress however, as she mostly demonstrated such behavior on bad, stressful days.
 
On a good day, Steela demonstrated a much more jovial and fun personality. Make no mistake, even in these days of levity, she was a strict and commanding leader, but she would be more willing to crack a smile and play jokes on her friends. She was great at manipulating others, but onyonly used that ability for good. She always tied to push her soldiers to their absolute limits so they could break them and become eve stronger, faster and more skilled. These traits made Steela an incredibly respected and feared leader among both Mighty Helm and the Royal Legion.

==Behind the scenes==
Steela first appeared in the [[MLP Wiki:Canon policy|semi-canon]] comic book {{C|LOM|2}} as the secondary lead character next to [[Rockhoof]]. Steela would become one of the few recurring characters within {{M|LOM}}, and arguably the most important one as she would later play major roles in both {{C|LOM|8}} and [[Legends of Magic Annual 2018|''Legends of Magic'' Annual 2018]] though her importance diminished in each subsequent role.
 
Much like the rest of [[Northern Equestria]], Steela was based off of Celtic cultures. Her Cutie Mark resembles that of Celtic imagery and her design appears to be reminiscent to modern depictions of Boudicca of the Iceni.
