Why does everyone seem to love Misty?

I just started watching YJ, I'm on episode 6 and literally cannot STAND Misty. I understand that the point of her character is to be this kind of annoying, outcast type -- which she does very well -- but she's also just so selfish and frustrating.

She broke the transmitter, kept harassing Ben, and in the present day, she ruined Nat's car and is literally stalking her.

I love Christina Ricci and Sammi Hanratty as actresses, they're both incredibly talented, but the character legit makes my blood boil whenever she appears on screen. Why do people like her so much? I'm genuinely asking.
