It's pretty clear she's ex-Padawan gaming the Imps to try to get to Vader and her performance fits that dynamic.
In fact, I would say that's WHY she might appear to be "over-acting" in some scenes. She's trying to be evil when she really doesn't know how. 
Ironically the only minor problem I have with her character is that she's black, which would never happen in The Dark Times era of Imperial rule. As a general rule, upper command was almost exclusively white and male.
So her being black AND female somewhat breaks immersion but I can allow it since she's force sensitive and they'd likely take whoever they could get in that regard. |

She's already a far better character than Finn (interesting character at first that went nowhere), Rey (horribly developed mary sue) or that awful Jannah character they jammed into TROS.
She's not the greatest character ever, but she doesn't get in the way of the story.

I don't follow the Disney twitter so I was unaware of any controversy. Too many times people throw out "woke" for any movie that's not all straight white people on Twitter. Its too tiring to read that crap so I don't follow.
No spoilers, just my thoughts on what happens..... I think Reva was a youngling. She wants revenge for all her friends and master being killed. She dies trying to help Obi-Wan and get her revenge but allows Obi-Wan to escape torture and capture from Vader.
Sure Obi-Wan was an old man by the first movie and probably cant defeat a Vader at the peak of his powers but I don't think it was a "defeat". Obi-Wan wanted to move on to being a Force Ghost. It was a choice.
