I have read Ori original League lore front to back. TBH it's kinda over rated. It shows a robot with only a veneer of humanity, and even that is faked. Even her in-game lines show she's little more than a killing machine. In her old lore you can tell her atempts to mimic human behavious are only skin deep and with no real purpose. The major "selling point" in her old lore was the fact that she was pretty much a twisted masterpiece made from a mad genius. And the unconfirmed theory that The Ball contained the human Ori's heart/brain/soul. Although that would make the point of using The Ball as a weapon would then be completely counter-intuitive.

As for the Fieram tale, awkwardness is to be expected. In this lore Ori is actually human, except she's a human who's underwent a change that shifted her entire life. A close comparison could be made by real life people who suffer from crippling injuries (amputations especially) or illnesses and struggle to adapt to their new circumstances, at many times force themselves to do things and go through the motions they were once capable, but are no longer able to. Another comparison would be of people who have spent large amounts of time in isolation and become emotionally atrophied. Isolation, detatchment and awkward mimicing of human life are core traits of this. This version actually reminds me of the first Robocop movie, when Murphy removes his helmet for the first time.
