Personality: Ever since the DL-6 incident and Yanni Yogi's acquittal, Edgeworth has held a passionate hatred for crime. The reason why he gave up on his dream of becoming a great defense attorney like his father and instead followed the path of the prosecutor under von Karma's tutelage was because this newfound hatred led him to a desire of taking an active part of locking up criminals instead of helping the accused get off the hook. For a while, he took this too far -- he believed that it was a prosecutor's job to always prove a defendant's guilt. However, he never consciously used forged evidence -- the only piece of forged evidence he used was forged without his knowledge.
However, this changed after he prosecuted in two trials opposite Phoenix Wright and then was represented himself in trial by his old friend. He disappeared, and by the time he had returned, he had found a new purpose for himself and his profession. No longer was he concerned about getting a "Guilty" verdict in every trial he prosecuted; instead, his ultimate goal became to determine the truth. As a result, he worked with Phoenix in court instead of against him, and even stood in for Phoenix as a defense attorney for the first day of one of his cases. He also gets extremely active in his investigations, as proven in Investigations.
Outside of his behavior in court and his zeal for discovering the truth, Edgeworth has plenty of other characteristics. For one, he's pretty much irresistable to many women. This doesn't limit itself to his physical appearance, either -- the man is an absolute gentleman when dealing with the fairer sex. For example, in Case 2 of Investigations, after he proves beyond a reasonable doubt who the murderer is, a flight attendant he helped out offers him a suitcase she herself designed. Now, this suitcase design was hideous -- and Edgeworth made no effort to hide his disgust with the design earlier -- but he accepted it nevertheless, because, as he put it, he could not refuse such a gift from a woman. This also extends to little girls -- Edgeworth once states that making a girl cry should be punishable by death.
The thing is, Edgeworth has little to no libido. Think Sherlock Holmes levels of libido (or lack thereof). He's capable of resisting feminine wiles in court (April May and Dahlia Hawthorne are two particularly egregious cases, given that they captivate every male member of the court), and he tends to miss it when women start developing feelings for him (such as Lauren Paups). You could also make the argument that he's repulsed by women who come on too strongly to him, but the only time that ever appears is with Wendy Oldbag, who is...not very desirable, to say the least.
Edgeworth also tends to play the straight man a lot. But let's face it, when you live in a world with a character cast as kooky as the one in the Ace Attorney series, any semblance of normality is going to make you look like the straight man. It doesn't help that his most frequent companion is a bumbling detective who has a weak stomach for blood and shows off his gun to little girls to cheer them up, or, failing that, a whip-happy perfectionist tsundere. So we get to see him snark a lot. We see even more snarking in Case 5 of Trials and Tribulations and in the entirety of Investigations, because we get to read his inner monologue. By FAR it's at its most egregious when he interacts with either Wendy Oldbag or Larry Butz, though Gumshoe and Franziska elicit a lot of snark.
