No, I don't hate her for that, I just don't like how she seem to be the damsel in distress and just how every part of her character and personality just screams weak >.> Orihime has power, healing power, so why is it that she seems to just act like shes timid and useless. Not like in a way that she thinks that, just in how she acts, it just annoys me

Because Orihime [I]is[/I] timid, she's easily frightened. I mean, the most violence she had to deal with was being abused by her parents and then bullied in school, then the next she's in a war with freaking [I]Sosuke Aizen[/I] and all these other powerful motherfuckers who can kill her just by raising their Spirit Energy. I don't know about you, but finding out there are creatures out there who wants to eat your soul and being attacked by them constantly....That would be some scary shit if you're unable to protect yourself O.o so yeah, she has the right to be timid '_'

And she isn't acting as useless, she's just seeing herself as useless. Yeah, she has healing powers, but she's unable to protect herself if she's attacked. She's unable to protect her friends if they're being attacked. Ichigo, Uryu, and Chad can all fight and protect each other, and have all these abilities which makes Orihime feels like she's useless compared to them which is why she [I]wants[/I] to fight and not be the one being protected all the time.
