Honestly I just want a sexy female bard companion, Them being a werewolf is just the cherry on top, Helia sounds amazing if implemented, but if we don't get her, Alfira is still a good understudy.
The sexy was the problem with the last companion, we got, as you can see in the countless threads popping up regarding a certain bulky druid. I prefer a well-written character with a good story tbh.
Sexiness was one of the reasons, the other one is because he was added in last minute, the writing for him had to be rushed, (it was also tone deaf and involved making him toxic, pretty sure his writer just hated him), Helia on the other hand was on the drawing board for much longer, I'm 90% sure Helia would already have good writing for her character.
