She walks a fine line with the played-by-Audrey-Tatou-style cuteness/goofiness, but she has enough edge, personality and inner life to prevent her from falling into Manic Pixie Dreamgirl tropes. I agree that some of her best lines are the random comments, here's one I like from Denerim market: "I bought a confection of spun sugar here once. It got stuck in my hair. Made it hard to comb out but it was very tasty for a few days." Nice to see some love for Leliana!
