I'll admit to having a type preference myself - I have two main pulls if we could get a small-sized companion:
A) I'd appreciate someone witty, intellectual and a bit scathing towards others with a dry and enjoyable sense of humour to those able to repartee and/or snark at their level.
B) Someone who is good-hearted and good-natured, who knows that they aren't much of anything, in the big picture, and aren't important in the world-saving scope of things, but isn't discouraged or put off by that, and is the sort to want to do what they can, because it's what they can do and because it needs to be done. Probably still learning not to set themselves on fire to keep others warm.[/spoiler]
You literally just described Helia, she's in both categories as a
Halfling bard, if any of her cut dialogue was any indication.
