Major Kira Nerys
I can see how she comes off that way... especially in the first episode. Perhaps some context will soften you up on her a bit.
She is a freedom fighter that has been fighting against the Cardassian Occupation her entire life. Bajor finally ousts the Cardassians but instead of a coming together in a unified effort to re-build Bajor:
* there is a bunch of in-fighting in the "provisional" government
* they invite another "super power" into Bajor after having just ousted another
* instead of being a respected shot caller in the Bajoran Militia... she is now rank and file military
* she has been assigned to live on a tacky Cardassian fascist eyesore (LD reference).
* not only is she living on a former slave space station... she isn't even in command and will report to someone from Starfleet
She warms up dramatically once she learns that Sisko and Co. are there to help and not conquer.
