Gamora has become a living weapon for most of her life, and the only family she knows and raises are the people she considers enemies. Due to her background as an assassin, Gamora can be stoic, distant, and ruthless toward her enemies or targets. As Rocket Raccoon says, her reputation as the deadliest woman in the galaxy precedes her. Although a criminal on par with the rest of her teammates when they first met, Gamora held Star-Lord in high esteem and despised him for being a dishonorable thief on his own. However, he was willing to work with the Guardians of the Galaxy to escape from Kyln and sell the Sphere, but was very upset with them, especially Drax.
