I don't see Alfira as an option, so I'm not voting for the first poll.
I would like her as a possible companion, too. I do not think she will be, but I hope we will at least meet her again. It is very nice that we have at least one additional dialogue with her at the (Tiefling) party. (And the cutest/funniest animation of someone who is a bit tipsy I have seen in a game until now)
