While the Librarian greatly valued and cherished all life,{{Ref/Novel|Id=c338|Cry|Page=338}} she also understood better than most that life is at its core competition and struggle, and that all civilizations are ultimately most concerned with their own interests.{{Ref/Novel|Sil|Page=218}} Despite this, she had become disillusioned with the Forerunners due to their many failures and the degradation of their once noble ideals. She was well aware long beforehand that these factors, as well as the Forerunners' refusal to admit them, would eventually lead to their end. This was the primary cause of the schism between her and her husband, the Didact: in stark contrast to the Librarian's views, the Didact was staunchly committed to the Forerunners' survival, and eventually, their absolute dominance at any cost.<ref>[https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/03/06/The-Halo-Bulletin-3613.aspx ''Halo Waypoint'': ''The Halo Bulletin 03.06.2013'']</ref>{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=235}} | While the Librarian greatly valued and cherished all life,{{Ref/Novel|Id=c338|Cry|Page=338}} she also understood better than most that life is at its core competition and struggle, and that all civilizations are ultimately most concerned with their own interests.{{Ref/Novel|Sil|Page=218}} Despite this, she had become disillusioned with the Forerunners due to their many failures and the degradation of their once noble ideals.

She held particularly deep respect for [[human]]ity, whom she viewed as "special" among all of the sentient life she had seen, and felt that it was well worth the sacrifice of her own life to save them. This was due to the belief among Forerunners that humans were also molded in a similar manner to the Forerunners by the [[Precursor]]s, as well as her own view that humanity had proved themselves more worthy of the Mantle than the Forerunners.{{Ref/Reuse|h4terminals | She held particularly deep respect for [[human]]ity, whom she viewed as "special" among all of the sentient life she had seen, and felt that it was well worth the sacrifice of her own life to save them.

The Didact noted the Librarian to have a sense of humor unusual in Forerunners, which is why he suspected she had arranged such a complex plan to bring him out of his Cryptum and have two humans and a Manipular assist him in his quest.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=139}} Due to her love for all forms of life, she also favored various dangerous predators, particularly [[merse]]{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=158}} which she raised in the gardens of her and the Didact's home. The Didact never understood her fascination with the creatures.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=83}} Despite her ultimately benevolent aims, she also took a significant amount of pride in her work, and often presented herself as essentially a goddess to primitive civilizations, most notably humanity.{{Ref/Reuse|s229}} In her own view, she did this because she wished to be remembered, seeing her own existence as fragile in comparison to the humans whom she intended to take the Forerunners' place in the future.{{Ref/Novel|Sil|Page=47}} | The Didact noted the Librarian to have a sense of humor unusual in Forerunners, which is why he suspected she had arranged such a complex plan to bring him out of his Cryptum and have two humans and a Manipular assist him in his quest.{{Ref/Novel|Cry|Page=139}} Due to her love for all forms of life, she also favored various dangerous predators, particularly [[merse]]{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=158}} which she raised in the gardens of her and the Didact's home.
