As the Administrator of one of the three Towers left on the world of Ar Ciel, Tyria is an incredibly important person -- viewed as a goddess in one of the other Towers. She is one of three Reyvateil Origins -- a man-made species created to process sounds into energy -- and, unlike the other Reyvateils, is impossible to recreate and therefore considered a sort of gem or treasure of the olden days.
... It's too bad she's a little ... strange.
While serious and sharp-minded, Tyria is incredibly eccentric. She has been known to say very strange phrases that don't seem to make much sense with the current conversation (while the party was in the middle of figuring out some plot points that were vague before that Tyria already had knowledge of, she says "That's correct. The reward for two correct answers is a trip around the world in a hot air balloon."), as well as mention fried bread continually. Her speech pattern also takes strange twists seemingly out of nowhere. One moment, she'll be speaking very in a very rigid, also robotic fashion, then later, will come out with lines containing curse words, slang, or childish phrases (in several cases, she even refers to herself in third-person). She'll fake tears and seriously admit to having done so with a perfectly straight face, misunderstand some things and run with them (such as when Aoto meant to ask Tyria about Kurogane -- he didn't mention Kurogane right away or phrase his question properly, so she seemed to think he was about to admit to wetting his bed and continued to think so even after Aoto corrected her: "Why did you tell me you wet your bed when you wanted to know about Kurogane? It's disgracing to Kurogane!"), and even stroll right into someone's room and immediately say whatever's on her mind instead of leading into the conversation or anything along those lines. ... She also seems to be highly interested in marriage and the idea of getting married.
Thankfully, while eccentricity is a large part of Tyria, it isn't all of it.
Tyria, as mentioned earlier, can be very serious when the need arises. She's a very quick thinker, making a lot of her decisions on the spot instead of mulling around to think them over (such as her decision to allow the song Cosmoflips to be installed into her, even though the person who was trying to convince her to do so had already proved himself to be untrustworthy), and has a very take-charge personality. Even with her odd behavior, she can talk very seriously at length, as well as explain complex situations in fairly simple terms -- or if it's too complex, will simply assure those around her that they didn't need to know anyway. Granted, in some cases, her "explanations" are incredibly confusing, vague, and strange (such as when she said Aoto was "like a mermaid" when pointing out that there was something strange about him), but those cases are about even with her more serious, understandable explanations.
Adding on to the "take charge" sort of personality she has, Tyria does have a habit of snapping the party into action, or at least leading them in the correct direction and guiding them to the next best move. This is shown throughout the entirety of Phase 4 of the game, in which Tyria not only finally joins the party, but generally takes control of their focuses with her mere presence. This could be seen as obvious, given how important she is to their world, but at one point, she was ready to go off and save the world by herself -- she simply asks the party if they'd like to come with her to do so. She was created to do one thing -- regenerate the all-but-destroyed Ar Ciel, and as spacey as she can act, there's barely a thing anyone can do to distract her from that mission. Aside from Aoto, apparently.
Bluntness is another large piece of how Tyria interacts with others. If she doesn't like something, she has no qualms about saying so, even if the person who made that thing is right in front of her. She can come across as almost mean this way, making fun of people (such as a blunt statement she makes to Aoto, who uses drills in battle -- "I think drills are weapons that look cool only when robots use them.") or giving mean, blunt names to items the group creates if they end up being weird or bad items. She also operates on her own plane of logic, doing things that may be seen as "against the norm" while having a rather sound explanation for why she thinks the way she does. This is shown when she tells Finnel and Saki that she'd rather steal items from large containers an enemy corporation has instead of take items from treasure chests, saying that she doesn't "see any problem with opening their boxes like treasure chests."
In short, Tyria is eccentric -- and it's to the point where some party members simply can't see her as the "holy being" she was originally meant to be seen as by the world at large.
