The Warriors of Light from 1.0 are sort of legendary heroes, but nobody remembers their face, so they are more of a "figure". You know they existed, you know they did this and that, but you don't recall their faces. People remember them as many silhouettes of men and women standing against a great white light, hence the title. In very poor terms, it refers to all those who were at the Battle of Cartenau and got time-jumped (not like those who didn't get time-jumped or died at Cartenau weren't heroes, but the time-jump is the requirement for the "amnesia" from the other common citizens, who will, again, only remember them as figures standing against the light).

The 2.0 Warrior of Light is just that adventurer who, because of his/her deeds, is being compared to the real Warriors of Light (those from 1.0). Considering the very loose requirements that are necessary to be compared to those heroes, it is easy to understand that multiple people may be branded as such, as not only a single person is deemed to fight primals, or battle against the Empire, or save lives in general.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
