...oh god, where do I start... I actually wanted to essay about this a bit and now you're giving me an outlet and i'm like... what do.
So. First off. Tempest? Hates Tsuyukusa. He doesn't like who he sees in his memories, thinks Tsuyukusa is an asshole and a lot of other unpleasant things. He's been trying to separate his concept of self from his concept of Tsuyukusa, and it's... semi-working, but in doing so he's really just becoming more like Tsuyukusa...
And that really started with his regaining the memory of Kuchiha attacking him and how he just beat her both physically and emotionally.
And then it was multiplied times a million when he went into Elliot's heart and came across a mirror that made all of his flaws very evident. So. He saw all those in himself and hasn't been able to shake them off since. He sees them in both Tsuyukusa and Tempest, if you will.
He's trying to be less of a dick than Tsuyu but he's getting super stressed out by his memories and hates taking them and is getting pretty apathetic about everything in them but hating himself...
So basically Tempest is more... conscious of his issues and the feelings of others than Tsuyu, because they're always being shoved in his face. He's a lot more pacifistic. Tsuyu in canon had some experience with self-hatred but mostly in relation to Byakuroku Dying For Him and just enough that he prioritizes others over himself enough that he is ready and willing to throw his life away for them...
Tempest is more likely to break a promise than Tsuyu, because he doesn't remember his whole Ayakashi Have Integrity thing. But at the same time it still isn't very likely, because he doesn't like to hurt people and because Yayoi has threatened to go get Acedia to hurt her if he breaks certain promises...
Tempest is a lot more dere and open with his feelings than Tsuyu! This is probably a pretty obvious one. Buuuut he's drawing more into his shell now that he got back his TOKI YOU AREN'T MY REAL FRIEND memory back, and will be a lot more suspicious of the motives behind relationships, and a lot less likely to touch people or allow them to touch him.
