Most of the gith aren’t exactly good people but… think about the position she’s in. Lae’zel was kidnapped by the creatures she was taught to fear since she was young. The ship she was on flew through the hells. It crashed, left her stranded on an alien world stuck with nothing but a handful of locals who know less than she does about the illithid. She’s terrified. As her culture dictates, the only acceptable way to express it is through anger and violence.
I didn’t like her much either at first, but I’ve definitely grown to appreciate her character arc. Watching Lae’zel slowly become more comfortable expressing her other feelings is a very big highlight her story.
