When I first saw the Zero Punctuation Review of Heavenly Sword and the reviewer said that Nariko was extremely western-looking, I took it with a grain of salt. Seeing this video though, actually makes his comment seem like an understatement. Seriously, the only way she could be more western would be if she was named Jennifer, Megan or something similarly typically American.
Is it explained in the game why she's like twice as tall as the Kai character, why she's got white skin, red hair and an insane British accent?

Or why she says "twing-twang"?

I have a theory as to what this means. This blog entry says "Kevin and I trade off- I play sword-wielding Nariko and he plays the arrow shooting Kai."

So I assume that "playing twing-twang" means "shooting arrows" in whatever retard language the characters in this game speak.

twing-twang is the crossbow characters term. She's apparently highly retarded but not so much they wont give her a crossbow.
