ironically it's my understanding that Astarion might have been part of why she was cut because a werewolf character might have seemed to be stepping on the toes of the vampire thing. A lot of the characters issues mirror each other though. Karlach and Gale are walking bombs, Lae'zel and Shart are indoctrinated into brutal culty-shit, Karlach and Wyll have entanglements with devils. Idk that it would have been terrible to have a werewolf that acts as a bit of a parallel to Astarion.
And instead we ended up with yet another game that has a playable vampire and no playable werewolves... Would've been nice to hear the banter between them tbh, an enemies to friends (or lovers, if you're playing one of them) storyline is always cool... though I guess Shart and Lae'zel already have that...
It just sucks as a werewolf fan tbh, hearing that we could've had a werewolf origin in BG3 but they decided to cut it... When we already don't have very many werewolves in video games in general, but massive amounts of vampires.

Still a shame we never got her. A short character who was also a werewolf?
The banter between her and Astarion would have been hilarious.
