She’s nice, caring, nurturing and doesn’t talk that much.

Yes.
I think this is the primary characterization bothering me as well.
So far we have the precedent with Kabuto and the likes of him being spies since an early age.
I think it's highly likely that the reason Rin's characterization has been minimal and her behavior running parallel to stereotypical manners is just that, her being a spy of some sort, pretending to be a friend yet gunning for betrayal.
If that was her real side, it puts Obito's real world perceptions in question, because all he ever really loved was an unrealistic cardboard cutout, and thus his designs on the world end up being ludicrous that much more as a direct result.
