You don't like Alora ?!! Ha, I admit she is kind of a "sweet muffin" character, but after spending some time with her in my party, I actually grew to like having her pleasant voice and good thief skills around.
But anyway for companions in BG III, I would love to have just a simple neutral fighter that any type of party could use. Nothing too special in the background, maybe just a spritz of gnomish in an otherwise human family tree ... a "gnuman", if you will. And his first name could be Gary, which makes the full name Gary Gnuman ...
"My name's a war song, I sing you a new one
My name is ruin, my name is broken
My name is shameless, I'll tear your world open"
