Woah, okay. I'll take this one at a time.
1. You say she's a ditz. I argue that she's just out of place in human society. If you went to live with the Dalish, you'd probably look like a ditz to them. Yet she somehow is intelligent enought to avoid being possessed by demons, and figure out how to repair the Eluvian (until Marethari messed it up, though Marethari likely did save Merrill from demons, so there's that.)
2. You say she's a dumb blond/naive. Same answer as number one.
3. You say she ends up slaughtering her entire clan. That is optional, as on my profile, her clan is very much alive given my dialogue choices.
4. You say she has a terrible voice actor. It's a Welsh accent, so maybe that's why it seems odd? Anyway, I like all of her dialogue except the crying- it sounded too much like laughing.
5. You say she's timid, and she stutters. That is true. You also say she never grows up, which is not true. In the endgame and during some later parts in her romance, she is calm and resolute, and is willing to die for the mages and Hawke.
Btw, I'm timid and I used to stutter, so I don't mind people with those qualities.
As for the pedophile remark, you have no idea how to tell an elf's age, and neither do I. Considering she was an adult in Dragon Age; Origins, however, and you can't romance her until 5 years after the end of the first game, there is no way she's underage.

What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
