I'm sorry for this late reply.

@Dizzyzebra

For the first sentence: I think "expressive" has a positive nuance, am I right? But the original Japanese sentence has a negative nuance, or both positive and negative ones. The original sentence says "コロコロと表情が変化する". Here "コロコロと" is an onomatopoeic word meaning "flip-flopping". "表情" means facial expression, and "変化する" means "changes/keep changing". So "コロコロと表情が変化する" means/suggests something negative: "facial expression changes too often/suddenly" and "she's emotionally unstable a little bit". It's expressive but excessive.

In addition, she is tsundere. So she will flip-flop between "tsun" face and "dere" face. It will be troublesome. ^_^;

For the second sentence: I think it is natural to assume that the reason is her pride, but it is not explicit in the original Japanese sentence. Ummmm it's difficult for me to translate.
