Tbh, I like the goblin lady, that is a fan of Volo, better. She is kind of sweet to him in her own way. I wish, she would follow him to our camp and become a guest there too (someone suggested that already somewhere). Not as a romance option, just because she is kind of unique in that she seems more invested on Volos (really terrible) rhymes than the Absolute.
I mean, she could also be a companion, maybe give her a different class like sorcerer or bard or such? I am a big advocate for more in companions, a large cast would make me very very happy and would allow me to be flexible and experiment with different subclasses.
