Those positions would be more suitable for characters the audience already knows, for the purposes of drama.
Don't yet know enough about the Deadpool movie to see how Betsy would fit in there; I know she had some sort of bond with Wade in UXF vol. 1, but I still haven't read that on account of Remender, and I doubt it'd be much of a touchstone for a DP solo adventure. Much too serious. So I can't really imagine her getting any more to do in a DP film than she did in the DP game (where her role was limited to "BEWBS LOL").
Also, fully in support of her being a Brit with Japanese heritage. Maybe an orphan taken in by the wealthy, upper-class Braddock family after an excursion to Japan, and they didn't know her birth parents had agreed to leave her as a tribute/offering to some crazypants ninja clan? She grew up being captured, freed and recaptured, taken from one side of the world to the next, picking up lethal skills as she went, but now she can't quite fit in anywhere: too civilized and empathetic to be a ninja, and yet too foul-tempered and violent to conform with high society.
Also-also, she'd still have her katana on her back, but she'd have a rapier sheathed on her hip too, and switches between natty Hollywood kendo and graceful fencing on the fly mid-fight.
