As people have said before, generally a LN character will stick to their code of ethics and rules. They'll adhere to this at any cost - good and evil are irrelevant, and you'll be just as willing to admonish an ally and an enemy.
A character that is LN may appear to be (or actually be, in extreme) obsessive-compulsive. Ritualist behaviors would be common - for example, after a battle the first thing you always do is wipe off your sword and tend to your equipment. To use a more common example, you might always eat the same thing for lunch every day. While your actions may at times seem random, there is in fact a highly detailed order behind them. For example, your house/room may seem messy, but you know where everything is, and your pile of clothes is always in a certain place, as is your stack of books, and your important papers. Your underwear and sock drawers are probably perfectly organized. There may not be any sort of logic behind this order, but it is still exactly definied.
Another trait a LN person is very likely to have is the need to have a plan. This may be as simple as "X blows stuff up with Y spell, Z charges in and attacks leader, A sneaks and attacks closest B", and may always stay that simple. Or, it could be as complex as possible given the information handed to you. This permeates to social situations as well - a LN person might very well believe in the "three dates" concept. A LN person might always approach a given situation the same way - grovelling at the feet of a ruler, for example. Or they may have a set strategy when bartering with a merchant - kill him and take what you want. The underlying idea is that they have things planned out, and probably tend to react poorly when this plan goes awry.
A LN character probably has a very ordered mind. They'll probably be pragmatic - X leads to Y, which leads to Z. They'll have a good head for math and science, though they might not be the best at discovering new things. They also probably have a good head for politics - knowing exactly what effect an action they take will have, and how that will blossom outward.
A LN character with high Wisdom will usually be thinking ten steps ahead of everyone else - that's why LG people are the defenders and LE people are the plotters. It's not because they have forethought, though that too is a common trait. It's more because they have a structured thought process, and can follow that out. A LN character with low Wisdom might be stubborn and predictable, always reacting the same way in every situation.
A LN character with high Intelligence will seem to be to omniscient, easily able to manipulate how a person will act. They are very good at reading signals, and have a lot of knowledge and background to draw upon when estimating how thier actions will effect others. Whereas a wise person will see more ways things are affected, an intelligent person will be able to see farther into the future. A low Intelligence LN character might not realize the consequences of their actions, despite constantly performing them.
