That one quote in one of the early game manuals about how Samus "isn't afraid to look silly" if it means getting the job done; of course was already taken to its natural conclusion with that one comic about her entering a clown school to get at Ridley. But like, dialing things back a bit, I find that to be an interesting quote given the Chozo of it all.
Like, on one end of the spectrum, there's Raven Beak with his extreme ego, and it feels like he would either blusteringly reject the notion of anything he does being silly or embarassing, or alternately be too far up his own ass and simply not aknowledge it as such in the first place. Though as far as we know, any direct contact between he and Samus was kept to a minimum, so his influence there is likely similarly negligible.
On the other end there's Old Bird, who along with being very humble, struck me as the sort to intentionally lean into silliness at times in that Cool Trolling Grandparent sort of way. So that probably has a big influence on her not really minding that sort of thing.
But then right in the middle there's Grey Voice, the Complicated Bird Dad™. And he's sitting right on that line between Raven Beak's Proud Warrior Guy attitude and Old Bird's more thoughtful wisdom. And he strikes me as the type who would actually aknowledge something embarassing as something embarassing, but also do his best to stoically downplay his actual level of embarassment. And I feel like if Samus picked up on that, that's probably the main model for her own approach to any embarassment she might still feel despite the aforementioned Old Bird innoculation.
So basically, what I'm saying is that if she were to make a big fumble during a mission in her time with the Federation, those with her probably saw a rather bird-like (or cat-like for an easier point of reference) mannerism of smoothing her metaphorical ruffled feathers and playing it off as not having happened; "You saw nothing" without any words.

I’m probably overthinking it but do you think Higgs has a strong resemblance to Amelie in DS2 because the only time he felt powerful and that he had some semblance of control was when he was with her. Since she abandoned him and stripped away his powers do you think it’s a way of him trying to desperately hold onto her after everything. Do you think his fear of being weak and vulnerable is keeping him from letting go.
