The player PC seems older and more experienced than she is. We can talk about having been to Tu'narath, where as Lae'zel says she's never been to the Astral Plane before.

She also doesn't know how to say tiefling, something Githyanki have special dialogue on to explain to her. And the Gith PC can talk to the dragon-knight without offending him like Lae'zel does.

On both my Gith playthroughs I got the distinct feeling of being someone in his 30s hanging out with someone in their late teens to early twenties. Lae'zel acts like she's a fully matured adult but she's still very inexperienced in how adult life actually works.


That is why I still think she is some form of secret and isolated being. Like a castout, or foster child. And for me the explanation that the Gith in then intro either want to desperately save/get hold of her is still more likely then them just attacking the mindflayer ship for some other reason.
Still I think the assessment of her not being a fully educated, something between child and adult seems logical. That is why I think she is indeed the most well-written, authentic companion.
