The more I think about it, the more I think Karlach whole character is flawed. You would think that somebody who was sold as a slave, horribly mutilated and sent in the most brutal war of the whole DnD universe for years against her will would end up as anything else than a naďve, upbeat and easy going person with the face to match. Meanwhile, Astarion, Shadowheart and Lae'zel have a character which feels like it matches their tragic background.

She gives an impression of someone who just came home after exhausting town guard shift, or a sad tavern braggart, and not someone who been enslaved in hell by the devils for combat, imho
I feel like that's why she's such an endearing character though, that in spite of of all her suffering she is so positive and trying to make the most of the time she has.
