It all depends on the nature of her awakening. If she awakens as a 
Morganti blade with a really friendly Issola's personality, she may feel 
it is appropriate for her to devour anyone who tries to harm Vlad. 
'Cause Issolas gotta eat too.

If she awakens as more herself than a Morganti blade, then I can see her 
having trouble reconciling the destruction of a soul. But I expect that 
Lady Teldra's awakened personality will still be greatly influenced by 
the fact that she is a soul-eating sword. A more sentient than most, but 
still.

I wonder if she'll really talk in Vlad's mind the way he and Loiosh 
communicate. Vlad keeps expecting it to be crowded in his mind, so I 
expect him to be wrong. On the other hand, I'm guessing the twinge Vlad 
feels when he is impolite to Mario in the prologue is Lady Teldra's 
influence, so he could be exactly right.
