Military-esk way of speaking. Think Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat 11. Gardner is a straight-faced, serious woman who prefers to get right down to business and takes no bullshit. Gardner is an ex-soldier who was dishonorably discharged due to deserting her comrades in the middle of combat. She was raised by the military since she was very young, and because of this, has a twisted, negative take on the world around her.
