I took Tornan Brighid's bitchiness to be a side effect of her previous Drivers. Because Blades are both people and monitoring systems for Earth, they some to incorporate what they see and put it to use on the next go round. Like how Roc didn't remember Vandham, but Rex could still see Vandham's mannerisms in his personality. So Brighid's previous Driver, or I guess the previous Emperor, must've been a militant asshole who didn't take shit from anyone. So when he died and Hugo awoke, he got a Brighid who was a militant asshole who didn't take shit from anyone.
