Also, your vote on Garrus in Best New Character sounds very unfair and uninformed. As far as I know, the only other "loud and proud" fighters I have are Blitz the Wolf, Obsidian the Marauder, and maybe Arrow the Greninja. I have plenty of other characters who aren't just "loud and proud":
 * Dante the Shepherd: I think you referred to this guy in your vote. If anything Dante has no pride in himself at all - he's dealing with serious emotional pain. And he's not loud either - while he can be a bit rough from time to time, in battle he's very efficient and methodical, aside from the occasional profanity outburst.
 * Agony Leoclaw: He's depressed and morose, and relies on Twintwist Acidfang as his "emotional crutch". Nuff said.
 * Celesta the Nightmare: She's nurturing and patient, serving her role as Rho's advisor very well.
 * Diablo the Pyro: He's loud, true, but he's also quite a jerk and grates with his brother personality wise. Pride? Dunno about that.

And so on. Also, being LOUD and PROUD is meant to be Garrus' defining trait - it's like how Diablo, as I mentioned, is a crass jerk and Agony is a depressed wreck. That doesn't mean his other traits should be glossed over.
