Ngl this thead made me laugh. Yes! We'll get good aligned female companions eventually, Larian simply needed to launch the bad ones first because... if I recall it correctly, there was an issue with people not caring much about the bad characters they created on previous games. Something along these lines.

Nonetheless, Laezel makes perfect sense to me. I mean look at the other Githyanki we meet. Damn!
I know right, I they are absolutely charming. They did a great job on the character design, that's for sure.
