Well you're not wrong. She was first introduced as Rokuro's childhood friend, and someone who has a crush on him That's the foundation of her character at the start. It will be hard for the creator to showcase her in a move favourable light from then on, especially when we keep being reminded of the fact she has a crush on him. It's annoying and it sets back on her progress as a character, therefore, making her annoying.

She may have shown attraction to Shimon, but that's still budding (in a way).

But she is an extremely interesting character, more so that either of the main characters imo. Because from that point she grows into this amazing character, and explores the fact why she feels what she feels, and what she can do about it. She's among the few that makes the story feel like it has actual stakes, rather than the typical dramatic 'shounen' version of stakes, which is exciting to see but lacking in the long haul. Her determination is impressive, and her powers will definitely grow from here on.

That all depends on her abilities though, and if she can focus on her own growth rather than those around her. It's good that we see her getting along and making allies and such, but I'd personally really like to see what shit she can wreck with those claws and the relationship with her family and the society they're in. (Tho highly unlikely till the end of the series, and because at the end of the day, she isn't the main character.)
