You dont have to like every character, not every character is designed to be likeable by everyone. Trying to draw parallels between "modern women" and "karens" in order to reinforce your stance for why you dislike a character is an interesting direction but all its really doing is fishing for drama and looks like a rant, without providing any really useful constructive feedback. Sort of what you would expect to see on 4chan. Saying she is a wannabe strong & independent looks more like a jaded perception. If you actually try out some different options you will find that she will stand up for herself. E.g. play a Gith and try to call her bluff when you first meet her, see what happens to you. Or just dont pick her up from the starting area e.t.c. My own stance on her is that, sure she has a pretty face, but much like Laezel they arent intended to be likeable friendly personalities. Her mildly disgusted reaction to killing the tieflings falls inline with her conflicted stance on her religion and hints at a messed up upbringing, if you save the tiefliings she mentions that she didnt think she would care about what happens to them so its a conflict of character (its like fricking anakin all over again...and your palpatine) Making a bunch of white washed goody two shoes characters with no flaws doesnt make it easy to build a compelling narative. Just look at Dragon Age as an example, even characters that seem high on order and being strong tend to have something messed up about them e.g. blackwall. I dont think the character is perfect, or any are for that matter, but considering how this is just the early stages of the game there is still room for character development and explanation. You cant judge a book by its cover, especially when the books intentionally trying to tell you to stop asking questions and mind your own business, sure its a pain in the ass tho for lore nerds that want all the info.
Basically in the real world conflicts of character and things and people being neither black or white but instead grey is more common and realistic than one dimentional decisions and characters.
