Is it because of the scars? It's already been pointed out here that she's pretty conventional as far as beauty standards go, a tall blonde white woman with straight hair.

What about Lae'zel? She's the "odd-looking" waifu that everybody was talking about, she would be much more convincing as an example. Even so, her face and skin tone are the only unusual things about her, she's still an athletic woman in good shape, as defined by common beauty standards... I don't know, I can see where they're coming from with this, but the argument simply doesn't hold up when you use BG3 characters, who are almost all conventionally beautiful, as examples.

She’s not just tall, she’s a hulking giant. She’s like 12 feet tall and muscular. Definitely not the “conventional beauty” but definitely has an audience still

my cutscene in game was a buggy mess since I played opening week so I didn't even really see her, just a buggy tentacle blocking my vision
