Why do people hate her again? She's not super strong, but she realizes it and does her best anyway, doing the right thing despite the cost. She goes through a genuine arc, and despite having a long way to go by the end of the story, faces the future and her journey with a smile and confidence. She's a good girl, and deserves NONE of the hate she gets.
