Torres unironically is an unintentional reminder of why being mixed race is often a miserable thing.
Her dad and mother split, she at one point completely wants her Klingon heritage erased, goes through a near death experience where she ends up in Klingon Hell, out of guilt and shame.
Relentless anger issues, largely caused by an absentee father and an overbearing mother.
Her boyfriend/husband has to put up with her shit for years, when he's handsome and charming enough to pursue pretty much anyone else but the captain or seven of nine.
Torres would never be made today, as she has so many issues and unlikable characteristics that are present in RL women, mixed race and otherwise. Massive chip on her shoulder, her technical acumen doesn't also come with any sense of decorum or not being a total bitch, and raging resentments against her parents, especially her father.
