And while there's nothing wrong with a loud, strong and boisterous woman, when they all act the same, it's a stereotype. Any exception to this is an unvoiced character with a minor role. We're not going to seek representation out of those.
Why shouldn't unvoiced characters count? They're still characters.

I play with the voices muted a lot of the time so I'm not sure if he's had voiced lines or not, but Merlwyb's second-in-command Eynzahr is one of the most regular Roegadyn characters we see, and he's played as loyal and capable, definitely not a dumb brute – and neither is Merlwyb for that matter. She gives an air of being a smart kind of adversary, not a "run in with guns blazing" sort.

Meanwhile, Moenbryda has some of that energy but is also a really smart and capable scholar who comes into the story because the Scions need help with her field of scientific expertise.

Rammbroes is another scholar and recurring character.

And over in the WAR quests, while we do have Gorge playing up the big dumb stereotype, we also have his brother as a quieter and more competent healer-arcanist.

Their design lends well to the stereotype but there are also plenty of characters who break it.
