That's pretty much a point in-universe as well. I think that I read that the idea is that when people die, a cheerful, empathetic and attractive woman is meant to make the realisation that characters are dead less horrible.

For example, when the Waynes or Jonathan Kent or Stephanie Brown (before the retcon) or Lian Harper died, who do you think would be a better person for them to meant after they passed on?

Death, or a foreboding and scary figure like the Black Racer looming over you?

This also has the sideeffect of characters who are still alive suddenly getting huge crushes on her and her moral counterparts when she manifests once a century. Like that Italian soldier in her short story in Endless Nights.
