    Is speaking of oneself in the third person less unusual in Chinese than it is in English?

    She says 本仙 ("This Adeptus") in Chinese. It's still very unusual in Chinese.

    The form "this [insert title]" or "this person/one" referring to oneself generally only occurs in period dramas or other works where (faux) old-timey sounding language is expected. Occasionally it can also be used for self-aggrandizement or for mock parody, not unlike how some English speakers would use archaic forms like thous and thees.
