Personality

Ondine is disappointed when Kim fails to pick up on her feelings for him.
Ondine is a sweet and fun girl who enjoys playing games and swimming. She stays cheerful for the most part, although she can become incredibly upset and distressed when faced with huge disappointment, like Kim unintentionally ignoring her attempts to go out with him and showing interest in Chloé instead. She has a huge crush on Kim, even though he does not realize this for the most part, and is shown being overjoyed when Kim asks her to go out to the movies with her.
As Syren, her love for Kim became very possessive and obsessive, and she was determined to make him her prince. If anyone threatened her relationship with Kim, such as Ladybug or Cat Noir, she was easily provoked into attacking them. She was completely indifferent to the effects her actions had on others, never once considering the citizens trapped or hurt because of her flooding of Paris.
Abilities
As a civilian
Ondine is an excellent swimmer.
As Syren
Syren had the power to flood all of Paris with her tears and turn it into her own personal domain. She was able to swim incredibly fast and breathe underwater and was also able to blow bubbles filled with air, allowing others to breathe underwater. She said a kiss from her would turn Kim into a merman, allowing him to breathe and live underwater without a bubble, although it is unknown if Syren could utilize this ability.

Ondine decides to tell Kim her feelings.
Ondine shows romantic interest in Kim in "Syren", but he is oblivious to her feelings. When akumatized into Syren, she plans to make Paris an underwater kingdom for the two of them. She has apparently tried to confess to him many times before but has never been successful. He does realize her feelings for him when she is akumatized, and at the end of the episode, he asks her to go to the movies with him, much to her joy.
In "Derision", after Kim tells her and Adrien about the mean prank he and Chloé pulled on Marinette last year, they call him out on it. After Kim was deakumatized, he points out that he hoped he didn't do too many awful things as a villain, but Ondine tells him that the worst thing is that he does awful things even when he's not akumatized. When Kim said that he had no idea how his prank affected Marinette, Ondine gets him to realize that his pranks have consequences and that the pain he caused Marinette traumatized her. Kim promise to be more mindful of his pranks and apologizes to Marinette for his actions. Hearing this, Ondine embraces Kim, remarking "that's the boy she fell in love with".

Ondine observes Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Rena Rouge on top of the pool building roof.
Ondine has not explicitly talked about her, but when she sees them jumping above the pool as they work to gather some escaped animals, she doesn't appear to be scared. In "Frightningale", she appears in Clara Nightingale's music video wearing a Ladybug mask, implying she likes Ladybug to some extent.
As Syren, she despises Ladybug as the latter tries to set Kim free multiple times. She has no problem attacking her and Cat Noir brutally to get her way.
Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir
Ondine has not explicitly talked about him, but when she sees them jumping above the pool as they work to gather some escaped animals, she doesn't appear to be scared. In "Frightningale", she appears in Clara Nightingale's music video wearing a Ladybug mask, implying she likes Ladybug to some extent.
Chloé Bourgeois
Ondine has never met Chloé in person, but she knows that she is one of Kim's classmates. She also seems to be somewhat aware that Chloé is a big bully.
