Personality: Kushina is remembered as and shown to be a fiery, sometimes ill-tempered, impulsive, and passionate kunoichi (female ninja) known for her looks and her unique fighting style. She's the sort of person who is determined to give her all to whatever direction she chooses.
She is not and never will be the sort to sit around and wait to be rescued, though there is a flip side to that, in that even she knows the difference between teamwork and playing damsel. Kushina knows when and how to play her cards depending on the situation. She has a vivacious love for life and family and will neither give up or die easily ("Don't give up until the very end!"), but if it means protecting what she loves she's willing to pay that price.
In her youth (and even later on in adulthood) Kushina sort of paints the very image of a tomboy. She has an "unfeminine" laugh, a short and somewhat violent temper, weird verbal tics, and doesn't seem very fussed about typically girly things or beating the crap out of boys.
She’s headstrong, confident, and fearless (though she expressed having anxiety over the prospect of labor pains). Her personality and mindset are definitely anything but meek, and Kushina prefers to handle her problems head on whenever she can. That isn't to say that she’s without understanding that battle often time consists equally of power, intelligence, and restraint, however. It's implied that despite their many similarities she wasn't quite as reckless as Naruto in her youth, but twice as hot tempered and every bit as gutsy.
There were times in flashback when Kushina appeared to be easily distracted or sidetracked (when not focused on a mission), and her excitement gives the impression of impatience. Actually she herself admits to being born impatient, hence her talking so fast that "weird things come out", but while it's true that she doesn't like to wait but she's actually surprisingly patient after practice and training.
Another thing about Kushina is that she's extremely energetic. She can definitely talk and she's lively about it when she does. In addition to being a little bit on the loud side Kushina sometimes demonstrates her impatience by mumbling and running her words together. It's most noticeable when she felt she was being lectured (kind of like a kid being reminded to wear their hat and gloves when all they want is to hurry up and go outside to play), particularly by Minato when he was being extremely fussy over her pregnancy. It's probably a trait that she retained from her youth, since she explains that she had some trouble with school and getting in trouble with her teachers.
There's one other verbal tick: When Kushina becomes worked up in any way, for any reason (excitement, anger, embarrassment, fear, annoyance, etc.) she's prone to dropping the words "like" or "y'know". Usually this is expressed as a verbal tic similar to Naruto's "dattebayo"- as "dattebane". It's a trait that she's tried to curb. She expresses embarrassment over this trait (well into adulthood no less) and hoped it was one bad habit Naruto wouldn't pick up. When she finds out that he did anyway she doesn't seem fussed by it, though, much more amused than anything.
Her fearlessness isn’t literal, of course. Naturally even the former vessel has things that she fears but what Kushina possesses is the strength of heart, mind, and character to face those situations with a cool head like any good shinobi should do.
Though her relationship with Minato was enough to quell her temper quite a bit she's still subject to emotional outbursts (such as when she hits Naruto over the head after he mistakes her for the nine-tails). She’s also demonstrated an awareness of it, along with an effort to stop these slip-up’s, as illustrated by her immediately becoming sheepish afterwards. Again, after being rescued by Minato her life, and thus the brash tomboy herself began to change for the better. She and Minato argue from time to time and it’s stated that he’s only ever won one of their arguments- their final argument.
Kushina was comforted and advised by the nine-tails current host that before she could house the nine-tails she would need to fill herself up with love. Kushina did this in falling in love with Minato, and in turn she had enough love to go around to others in spades. Though being a vessel is universally believed to be an ostracized existence Kushina is shown to be one of those who had the stregnth to find the key to living a happy life without regrets.
