We know what she believes in and what she represents, but we could use more background. Youko is also a person with a lot of personality, but isn't as fleshed out as much as she could be. They could tell a story about how he became the schemer that he is, one about the trials he went through as a traitor, etc. He's cold, calculating, but his motivations are sort of understandable, if not sympathetic. Micchi, you're supposed to find him off putting. They're both extremely complex characters that are worth diving more into. So what do I want? I want Gaim Gaidens for Micchi and Youko. Not that they couldn't do a good story for him, it's just that he's such a blank slate that could mean anything. He's more of an accessory to highlight other characters, like Kaito's leadership skills, or the stand-in for the Beat Riders once things get serious. He's a good guy, but he's never fleshed out as anything other than 'a good guy'. He's mad and he does everything FOR SCIENCE! Making him a sympathetic character would ruin some of that. Ryouma's kind of your mustache-twirling villain. Here's my reasoning, they're both extremes on an one dimensional plane.

And while I'm glad that we're getting more Gaim, it does strike me as odd to choose these two. So I hear they're doing Gaim Gaiden for Ryouma and Zack.
