I use Lae’zel for my evil run, but she does have kind of that evil cat vibe. Like how every cat not only acknowledges it is a cat, but somehow feels that it is the epitome of what it means to be a cat.
Also, as I think it’s pointed out, githyanki are canonically space Nazis. Early in her character arc there is definitely the notion that she is only helping you to help herself and that she has no problem with “final solutioning” you.
I’ve only played D&D for a couple years and don’t have extensive experience with githyanki lore but my impression is they’re not so much bent on genociding other races as they are exterminating the mind-flayers that enslaved, tortured, and fed on them. Everything about the structure of their society and their philosophy on the value of life hinges around that. They became hyper militaristic - only the strongest and most capable are valued. They seem to regard other races as largely weaker or simply unworthy/uninteresting, but aren’t looking to kill or subjugate them, they’re just irrelevant.
I’m only ~near the end of Act 2, but Laezel’s development has been some of my favorite stuff about the second act.

The notion? There’s a cinematic where you need to have a roll to avoid her killing you right before you get the first dream cutscene.
