The problem wasn't the idea, it's the execution, as shown here.

The Mama Bear traits should be introduced more slowly, like more of a Hidden Depths kinda thing, so that the team's plan of 2-D archetypes slowly evolving into complex, 3-D characters. I think it's been introduced too early, as if they'd already introduced a trait that makes her 3-D.

And given how little screentime we've already seen of her at this stage, I believe that the audience needs time to settle down on Yang's existing traits, for a bit of consistency, before being introduced to a new one entirely, instead of going through multiple character traits at once, and being entirely confused. This little change will line up with her actions in later episodes.

Of course, I'll tackle other problems concerning Yang herself in future blogs.
