I think they're going for a style of writing where the fighting style defines the character, rather than the personality. It's something rarely done, but I find a lot of appeal in it.

It's a bit of a cheat though, since Miles and Kerry are leaving the work to the animators to give life to the character. Honestly at this point, if the writing is sub-par, then pushing the animation aspect might as well be what they focus on.
