Personality:
There is, quite literally, sunlight in Rapunzel, and it shines in every ounce of her being. She approaches new experiences with, yes, trepidation - she's still new to the world beyond her tower, and was always told such a place was dangerous - but also with great enthusiasm. She's genuinely in love with being alive, and isn't afraid to express that. And Rapunzel is very expressive, both in how she acts and in her hobbies: A cornucopia of artistic pursuits that she's generally quite skilled at. After all, she had a lot of time to practice and learn.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that Rapunzel is a smart young woman. She's quick to take in information, but she's not what you'd call wise or savvy. Her sheltered life and how mislead she was about the outside world leaves Rapunzel an interesting mix of overly cautious and very naive... Mostly the latter. She's also just inexperienced and doesn't understand much in the way of social nuance. Her friendliness helps with this, though it only can go so far when she doesn't know what's going on.

Now, while her canon point is early, later canon shows us other aspects of Rapunzel's personality that come out as she gets more comfortable with the world around her. She's playful and can be surprisingly competitive, mainly if she feels she needs to prove herself because she's been underestimated. She is prone to putting others' needs before her own to an unhealthy degree, and relatedly, she can struggle to face her own negative thoughts and feelings. Sometimes it's easier to avoid them.

A big point that later canon, as well as the movie itself, really drives home is that Rapunzel needs freedom. She's spirited and cannot be contained to a simple and boring existence. It just doesn't work; she will inevitably find herself out there again before long, exploring the world.
