The name of  Satella gives you a clever, quick, analytical mind, but you suffer with a great deal of self-consciousness, lack of confidence, and much aloneness because of misunderstandings. (So basically Emilia)

Your idealistic and sensitive nature gives you a deep appreciation for the finer things of life and a strong desire to be of service to humanity. (Yup, Emilia)

There are times when you experience inner turbulence at your inability to say what you mean. (This is so Emilia)

It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. (Oh my fucking god, this is Emilia.)

You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. (She has an affinity with spirits and is a wood half-elf, I think that says enough)

Because your feelings run deep, you must guard against the ups and downs, being very inspired one minute, then moody, reserved, and depressed the next. (Understandable)

Your reactions to people vary according to how you feel (Emilia is childlike)

You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. (Like how Emilia lied, mislead and left Subaru behind to not drag him into her own battles?)

You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. (Basically how Emilia reacts to Subaru all throughout the first arcs of Re:Zero)

You crave affection but seldom find anyone who understands your nature. (Everyone sees her as the spitting image of the Witch of Envy, their world's Satan in a sense, so this is spot on.)

I do remember Tappei saying something about revealing the meaning of the name Satella and it being a big deal, so maybe this confirms that Satella and Emilia have indentical personalities, too. Whereas Emilia simply means rival, the definition of Satella is far more specific and (even though I regret saying this) fits her better.
