Frankly I've never gotten why she gets the brunt of so much negativity - largely I blame ghostwriters oversimplifying or misinterpreting her.

Specifically I find the assertion that she's a "weak" character incredibly inaccurate and only seeing a very, very small part of the picture. Morality =/= weakness. I honestly respect her for always at least trying to keep that moral compass pointing north, especially in situations with so very much grey.

... Could totally be biased, though, as I kind of wanted to be her when I was a kid. With the morphing talent/art form and everything, ha.
