Rushed to Karlach to see he new model. She definitely doesn't fit her background story as much as what was datamined before. She is cute in a very bland way .
Yeah, i think "cute in a very bland way" is a perfect way to summarize the issue.
I've seen people complaining she's "too pretty" now but I don't think prettiness is the real issue.
The problem is that she's bland. Her face lacks any hint of personality and it's not particularly expressive and life-like in general. Even from a technical standpoint (amount of detail, moving facial muscles, etc) she seems like a step back not just from the previous datamined version but also from the previous generic NPC placeholder.
Quite frankly the bluntest way I can put it is that it looks almost as if a less talented artist/modeler worked on her face this time around.
EDIT - Now compare and contrast with this:

(minus the lack of hair and the bullshit custom glowing eyes added by the modder here)
And add 1 horn with the other broken maybe halfway, not fully.
YES! That is more of what I picture when I hear her story. Demon slaying tough bad butt tiefling paladin. She doesn't even need hair. Hair can get caught and can be grabbed. Better without it. What? She needs hair to be tough? Does every female have to be hot and sexy? Can't she just be muscular and scary even? And who's to say that's not sexy to some?
Why paladin? She wears heavier armor so far and is awesome with a crossbow. So not a mage or rogue or warlock, most likely. Not likely a Bard since she's a Demon Slayer. What class would make a good demon slayer? Paladin. And she's got a serious vengeance quest against the cult of Zariel.
And, fan theory, Oath of Vengeance Avenging Angel can sprout wings. With them, she could fly onto the Nautiloid to try to escape Zariel. Face hugger eye booger tadpole crawls up on her unawares as she's trying to hide from mind Flayers and devils both in the ship. Floop! Right in the ear.
"Who are you?". All her paladin powers reset to level 1, just like everyone else.
To add to this, you encounter her later, at least level 3 or 4, so why not give her SOME better starting equipment. Plate armor and greatsword or maul or that axe looks cool with heavy crossbow+1 and traps and maybe some alchemist fire and such. And make the armor battered and such to begin with so it fits the story of her fighting off a bunch of things just before you meet her.
