Yes yes I KNOW she is a pain, esp. when she goes "Tamahomeeeeeeeeeeeeeee", but if she were PERFECT, where would the story come from? She radiates a kindess and warmth (although all the bishinen being drawn to her was a BIT over the edge) which makes people feel right at home. She is actually also a pretty good fighter, if you'll notice. Miaka is also VERY loyal, even if it meant giving herself to those who were her enemies (oops... spoiler). Y'know, actually she isn't all bad........though the bishonen magnet STILL confuses me........
