Lae'zel is my favorite character, and is great as a love interest. She reminds me of Gomorrah from Guardians of the Galaxy. She respects honesty and strength, she always has your back and will stay in a relationship with you even if you end up as a mindflayer. If you cheat on her with the devil she kicks you to the curb, if you ask her to join the drow prostitutes she says no. She is quick to have sex but to get to love takes some work and requires total commitment and monogamy.
What some here are calling "evil" I'd call pragmatism. If your race is constantly being attacked and hunted by mind flayers you'd end up being militaristic as well.
