I was thinking of rewatching the show! And I have an inkling part of it is exactly what you described, and part of it is I'd probably find her a little annoying even as an adult. But I also worry I'd find them all horribly annoying as an adult. (1x2, 1x2x5, and 3x5 shipper....if I'm remembering that right lol, it's been years)
