I bet that the Aqua Current avatar was born from Kurrent's desire to be ambiguous.
In the manga (and I think the light novels), Kurrent's gender is left unknown, and her avatar is androgynous rather than feminine.
What if Kurrent wanted to be "pure" and uncomplicated? Genderless. To be taken for who she is rather than what? Further, to keep a level head and exclude undesirable elements, like inconvenient emotions and sentiments.
So her avatar is not merely genderless, but also made of pure, nearly-formless water. A body that is physical but nearly shapeless.
Her own Incarnate Technique, Memory Leak, may be born from a strong desire to erase the memory of anyone who learns her true gender, resetting their relationship to a point she's more comfortable with. (Though fortunately for her, Memory Leak is useful for much more than that. Such as also hiding her identity entirely from someone she's just met.)
