I would have loved the idea of a Hafling Bard, they could have skipped the werewolf line and I would have been fine.
She would have made a perfect companion, always chattering about chronicling this fight or that in verse. For a personal story line instead of a tragedy, we could have had a quest to find some special "instrument" or perhaps clues to find some lost song or music based magic.
A good aligned non werewolf halfling bard chronicling the events of the game? Now why does that sound so familiar to me...hmm...
But yeah if Larian ever decides to do a companion DLC I hope they add Helia or at least a comp that isn't a human/elf. A little bit of variety wouldn't hurt.
