Well, Monty's gone on record as noting that the fairy tale leanings are "mild inspiration at best". Looking at Blake, her hair ribbon and the ribbon attached to her weapon drift in a way to resemble cat ears and a tail, so it's possible that she's Beauty *and* the Beast.
Still, this is interesting for actually giving us a glance at her as a character rather than a tech demonstration. We know that she and Adam have distinctly different opinions on collateral damage ("What about the crew of the train?" "What about them?") and that this difference of opinion left her to abandon him at the end of the video. Additionally, the crawl at the beginning suggests an interesting bit with "Your hopes have become my burden. I will find my own liberation." which could refer to Blake being someone who wants to find a "liberation" that doesn't sacrifice innocents like Adam seems keen to.
On the weirdass weapon side, we have Adam's shotgun-sheathe iajutsu specialization, which is entertaining. Blake, meanwhile, is fairly versatile, given I saw her weapon shift between a single blade, blade and hilt as second blade, twin blades in tonfa hold, kama/flail with pistol recoil, gunblade, and just plain old pistol (when she unloads a clip into the spider tanks face). Also, we see after images here and there, so Blake may be an outright teleporter compared to the previous two, who were merely "fucking fast".
Still, apparently the series premiere is in June, so plenty of time for the Yellow trailer before then. Looking forward to it.

waste."
