Canon Point: Moments before his death in Return of the Jedi

Background: Here!

Personality:
Yoda’s personality changes based on who he’s speaking to. If he doesn't know or trust you (or if he doesn't want to intimidate you), he comes across as being goofy and somewhat senile, using humor to deflect his intuitive understanding of almost everyone he meets. This persona is most often used with students (Younglings in the Jedi Academy knew "this" Yoda best, as he used humor to deepen their understanding of the Force, and would sneak them sweets when no one was looking, or when he's trying to throw off suspicion of his strength in the Force, as when he first meets Luke Skywalker). Once he's more comfortable with a person (or unless it's what a person needs), his more serious and sagely persona emerges. This could be considered Yoda's "true" self, as when he confronted Luke Skywalker with his self-imposed limitations, demonstrating that "Size matters not", lifting Skywalker's submerged X-Wing from the swamps near his home.

Early in his life, Yoda focused almost entirely upon seeing into the future, which led him to missing crucial details happening in the present. After the fall of the Jedi Order and his exile, Yoda changed his outlook and focuses more on the here and now, cautioning others to do the same, lest they lose themselves to the future as he once did.

Abilities:
Despite his size, Yoda is a very powerful practioner of the Force and the Jedi arts. He is able to lift and move very heavy objects with Force Lift, and is one of the few Jedi capable of throwing his Lightsaber telekinetically while keeping it activated. Yoda can redirect and absorb Force Lightning, making him one of the few immune to its effects. Yoda is also significanly capable with the Jedi Mind Trick, able to manipulate the minds of weaker sentients into following whatever command he gives them. Most notably, Yoda is capable of using Battle Meditation, which is a skill where Yoda enhances the abilities of anyone he chooses in his vicinity.

In terms of non-Force abilities, Yoda is a masterful practitioner of the Ataru Lightsaber form, using his small size to his advantage with powerful acrobatic moves incorporated into his swordplay, though Yoda prefers not to draw his lightsaber unless absolutely necessary.

Having trained several thousand students over his lifetime, Yoda is an extremely capable teacher of the Jedi arts, tailoring his teaching style to the personality of the student.

Alignment:
Piphron. Yoda’s alignment would fall with Piphron as a result of the knowledge and intuition provided to him by the Force, as well as his history with betrayal at the hands of former students and soldiers under his command.
