C because "Young, inexperienced, but knows how to pull through when it counts" is almost a trope for female Mi'qote and I'll be happy if I never have to deal with another character who "has some mental issues due to the unusual upbringing". That's almost a trope in and of itself. 

Now, tropes aren't in and of themselves bad things. What makes them work is the details around them and this character summary doesn't have those. She has mental issues? What mental issues. Where do they spawn from? Is this "I want to act silly?" and then excuse it by "I have mental issues" or is this "The character has PTSD due to [specific] horrors experienced in her upbringing and they affect her like this, this, and this." or is this simply a lack of knowledge about the outside world that presents itself as naivety about social customs others commonly understand and she will get over that lack of knowledge over time or is it simply "She has a learning disability because the priests liked to feed your mi'qote paint chips for sacrament."

The above is my personal preference and some people like different things. YMMV, etc etc. Your others seem much more like characters though, while this one seems more like a concept to justify the cute appearance. 

Edited for clarity.
