To put it bluntly, L is about as odd a duck as they come. Young enough to be a college student (though he refuses to name his age for certain), he's already considered a bit of a lunatic. He's a serious insomniac, usually living on four hours of sleep (on average) a night, and it shows from the dark circles under his eyes. He's extremely addicted to sugar, and tends to eat it by itself, or in the form of sugared tea, soft drinks, cakes, cookies, and other desserts. --His unusual eating habits have resulted not in obesity, as would be assumed, but rather in unhealthy thinness. His bones are easily felt beneath his pale skin, and one has no difficulty at all counting his ribs. --Or, one wouldn't if he didn't wear such all-concealing clothing. He doesn't seem very comfortable with his body if his baggy shirts and jeans are any indication, and he usually sits hunched in on himself. In fact, his body is so used to the strange posture that even when he walks, he hunches.

He hates shoes, too, by the way. Shoes and socks are his bane, and he balks when he has to put them on. --He must've been a serious pain as a kid.

L hates to lose, and can be downright childish about it. He knows he's brilliant, and doesn't like to be outdone. He goes to extraordinary lengths to win against criminals, even going so far as to put his own life in jeopardy just to get one step ahead.

Highly neurotic, despite his own appearance, he wants things around himself to be neat, clean, and orderly. He has his own sugar pot that he keeps sterilised, and his own set of china that he uses and Watari cleans and sterilises regularly.

Not used to people, he doesn't know how to react around them. He's highly socially awkward, and somewhat emotionally stunted. He's lived mostly alone during the course of his life, and has gone into hiding and changed his name numerous times. This has, unfortunately, rather screwed him up personality-wise.
