Making a Casteless-Lunar Melee Character

I'm using Exalted Essence. While I've been reading through the rules and all almost everyday since I've bought the corebook, I'm still wrapping my head around how the system works. I might be missing some information, so please let me know.

I've been working on an idea for a Casteless Lunar with the Warrior archetype, specifically a "Swift Damage-Dealer" with a focus on melee. I figured Tiger-Style Martial Arts would fit best, both for mechanics and the fact that their spirit form is a big cat.

For Attributes, I've organized it the following way: Force 4, Fortitude 3, and Finesse 2. For Abilities, I'm emphasizing Athletics, Close Combat, Integrity, Physique, and Stealth. I have been thinking of putting a little more into Presence since you can use that to intimidate people, from what I understand.

I'm still figuring out Charms, but Many-Attacks Technique and Fists of Iron Technique seem to be good starting points. Sidenote, are there any that would assist in fighting in their spirit form?

Any input would be really helpful. Thank you in advance!
