Actually, I think all the "big-brains" give her too much credit. On her own, she's actually really simplistic and devoid of any nuance, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, what makes her a sort of 'essential' character is her relationship to bam, which actually is a perfect alegory to her in-universe character, because she also gets saved by bam and looks up to him, and she resents him for the fact that he's simply a much better person than her and then gets away with it and with having immense power, and basically without him she also would've probably be just a nobody. I think SIU says he likes her so much because she's just a picture of his own insecurities as a human, and he wanted to put her in the story so everybody hates her without realising that she sort of embodies a part of every human being. In any case, as soon as bam's relationship with her fades away, she'll be a pretty worthless character, pretty much nothing different than all the background characters that get killed by the main cast in one shot, but i dont know what the author plans to do with her.
