She is the scion of a political dynasty that is serving as “Under-Secretary-General” in the UN when we get to know her, so two steps away from the throne of Earth, having access to black ops and military assets, without ever having been elected.
Also towards your earlier point, I always took her brash attitude as intentionally annoying. Like that’s the whole point of it, narratively. It’s a tool she uses to unsettle others. Which is why it fits so nicely in the OP.
That’s pretty much on point according to the books. It’s her more natural speech to swear, but she does intentionally use swearing to unsettle her political opponents and try to glean some information from it.
Diplomat is kind of understating it though.
Minor spoiler
