I could imagine a priestess of Shar whose politeness cause mass puke and a githyanki warrior who enjoys courteous conversations. Both pay attention to conventions and try to fit into the male worldview of a good girl.
Larian please make both old and ugly so no one will care
I mean, why is Halsin popular? It isn't because he's good leader or has performed heroic deeds. dude's jacked, that's all. The superficial will always matter, whether in life or video games. Reality is that your companions are very much a group of people that would not associate with each other unless under extreme circumstances, tadpole in their brains. The only ones that, I believe, would willing group up outside of an extreme situation are Gale and Wyll, and even then Gale is doubtful. Also Astarion is a Toreador mixed with Ventrue, so it's not surprising people find him popular.
