One little taste of Xianghua and I believe your first impressions would be: "Super cute, super annoying, what's her purpose?" Don't let Xianghua's appearance fool you; she's a much more serious fighter than the world of Soul Calibur really thinks. Though she is practically under Kilik's wing and tagging along with him, she's been quite a loner ever since Soul Calibur. Xianghua is a strong, brave and independant woman who can see things through to the end. From my speculation, Xianghua sees life with a bright outlook and it doubt never dawns upon her optimisitic mind. However, it might come as a flaw to people when they've seen how she acts toward Kilik in SC3. She may seem a little ditzy, distracted, one-track minded, and in ways, annoying (thank Wendee Lee for that), but beheath that image there's a serious heroine ready to save the world - and ready to regain her position over in the Ming Empire. I can see Xianghua as an aggressive little thing nagging on people who do things alot slower. Xianghua also seems to beat herself up if she's failed at something (ex: Lost position at Ming Empire and Kilik getting hurt) and overworks herself until she can right that wrong. It'd be very wrong to call Xianghua and immature little girl - because she knows exactly what she's doing, she just sees thing in alot of optimism.
