Renegade with a heart of gold is how I would describe Caroline. Sort of, Moira's seems more of a wildcard compared to Caroline's by-the-book ruthlessness.
Apologies in advance, but I have to refer to the tropes site: Jerk with a heart of gold
In fact between the 2 games she's split about even 50/50 paragon and renegade, but I'd say her personality is more complicated than the alignment system. I gave her the ruthless background to set the groundwork for sort of a hardass military reputation. It's a facade that she's willing to perpetuate to maintain authority and keep others emotionally distant. But she'll fold if faced with something that just seems wrong. Seeing David in Overlord was an "awww crap" moment, where there was no question she was going to do the paragon action. Sort of Mal Reynolds, but really more like Chuck's Casey. The tough guy act is all (mostly) a big show. She really cares.
I freaking love Caroline, I mean I never did like the ruthless background but the way you used it suits her perfectly.
Jennifer is a paragade, she's a full paragon with a bit of renegade in her.
Her discipline and paragonness are a result of her upbringing, being raised in a military family (She's a spacer/warhero/Adept) as well as her training, and her ability to do things the right way, not the fast way and minimize losses. But that is also why she doesn't hesitate to sometimes be a bit of a renegade when there's need for it. Basically, she'll do whatever it takes to get the job done without endangering innocents.
That is because of what happened on Elysium.
Although the stories about Elysium paint her in a larger than life, heroic way, she doesn't really feel that way at all, because what truly happened on Elysium is far more complicated than her 'single handedly fought the waves of attackers until help came' Good people died that day, good soldiers too, including some of her very close friends, and they all died defending her and the rest of the colony, because she didn't give out her orders fast enough. Because she hesitated for a few moments and it cost many lives; so it didn't feel right when she got her star of Terra because she happened to be the one who managed to stay alive the longest.
In ME1 she's a full paraon, without a bit of renegade in her, but she has a lot of pent up anger during Mass Effect 2 tho. It tends to show after Horizon, I guess it's the result of so much compartmentalization after the Alliance and the council smearing her name, ignoring the threat of the reapers, working with Cerberus and having to put up with the Illusive Man, and finally realizing how she lost much more than time after meeting Kaidan... and because she's very goal oriented and her mission always comes first, she takes it out on the bad guys, thus pushing a merc through a window off the Dantius towers and blowing up that damn Krogan warlord who just wouldn't shut UP!!
So she became a Paragade...(she only has like a bar and a half of Renegade...so I'm not sure about what to call her)
When she shot that artifact in Donovan Hock's vault, it was simply because the man made her skin crawl...and because he talks too much...hmm...she certainly doesn't like speech-giving-villains.
