What do you like most about baiken

Morgan here. Here's a list (spoilers for stuff that happens in Guilty Gear Strive btw):

-She's fucking badass; look at her sick eyepatch and scars and how her katana sheath has like a special little thing where she can hold it in her teeth. That's raw as fuck. She'd be an A+ character for that alone.
-Her special intro in Strive is really dope and it's done up like an old samurai movie complete with black and white narration. I have the English translation of said narration memorized.
-Her like flirting-fighting thing with Anji is couple goals kinda.
-I like how she's basically time-displaced. Not literally (some GG characters are but she isn't one), but she acts like she was born in the wrong era and I think that's pretty interesting.
-The fact that she spends her whole life pursuing revenge and then gives it up once she finds someone that she thinks is truly worth protecting - Delilah, Bedman's sister - is just really cool and excellent character development. I would protect Delilah too, she's small and has an arrow on her head. They kind of become a family after that which is really awesome and it's a super good like "happy ending" for the character more or less.
-She's fun to play as in Strive (I haven't really played many of the older GG games to comment), I like trying to read what my opponent is doing and punishing them for fucking up. I don't actually manage to do it THAT often but hey practice makes perfect.
-"Baiken" is a cool name.
-Her taunts in Strive are super funny. Imagine fighting someone and they pulled a huge jug of sake out of nowhere and started drinking from it.
-She's hot as fuck.
-She has like a huge mane of hair. I wish I had that much hair on my head. I bet it's a pain in the ass to comb though.
-The fact that her boobs have gotten bigger in every subsequent game means you can hc her as trans and on estrogen and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
