Does anyone else think Petra is too friendly? *Semi-SP* (Destiny)

I had pretty much the same thought until I caught her line in the first mission that was something like, "Last week I was sending out court documents, but this week I get to send explosions! I LOVE field work!" It was a cheesy line (but not any cheesier than anything I've said while trying to sound bad ass during a firefight), but it put her personality into perspective.

She's a soldier, first and foremost, and she's good enough at what she does to have earned a place serving as the Queen's right hand. While I'm sure it's a huge honor to be given this position, with the Reef Wars won and the Awoken taking a more defensive (or even neutral) role in the current conflict, most of her current duties are decidedly less exciting. Even after the betrayal, she still doesn't get to drop in and kick Fallen butt, but she's given a chance to relive her years of combat and exact her revenge on the Fallen traitors through you. She's excited to see combat again and you're her new battle buddy that's making that happen for her.

In that context, the jokes and the almost giddy tone she uses during some of the more exciting bits make perfect sense to me.
