Uh, yes. That "somehow" is the context of other planeswalkers, not an absolute measure of originality. But if you had given my comment any intellectual charity you'd have nothing to say, so here we are instead.
Well let’s consider their context shall we? Rowan is the third “carded” planeswalker who’s powers are based in fire. And let’s not forget Balastrix from a few of the books. Rowan is also female. Just like all three of the others. From what little we have of her she seems confident and maybe even a bit brash. Just like the other 3 (Jaya being older and thus displaying less of that than in her younger years not withstanding). Will on the other hand is the only walker we have with ice based powers (not counting Vronos here since he existed for the purpose of being killed by Garruk). The only physical traits Will shares with Jace are being white skinned and male. From the arts we have of him he looks taller with much more sharp facial features than Jace. And their skills are completely different. So, outside of you no wanting to see a white make planeswalker (not saying that’s how you feel just that’s the only reasoning I can see), there’s no reason to think Will is bland at all, much less more bland than his sister.
All that said I’m not trying to argue that they’re bad characters.
Just to note Rowan uses electricity and not fire.
Outside of looking somewhat similar Will and Jace are pretty different takes on blue imo since Will is the most battle center blue walker we gotten so far compared to the scholars types we've seen.

The card looks fine, lack luster abilities but is cheap to play and has only plus abilities. Could see the ultimate helping winning game by dealing a good chunk of damage. Gonna run them in Will and Rowan commander for flavor and the deck really can support them.
I also hope this is Will and Rowan "thing" for cards so that we don't need to have two walker slots open for them. Not saying I don't wanna see them in separate card just like them and think this would be a bit easier to fit for walker slots.
