I love that she refused to use the transporter

I like when she set that grand strategy guy up to get stomped by Data.

There was the episode they had no access to their advanced medicine and she was an expert in olde timey splints and things. The episode with the psychic kids she threw her own life on the line to help (though that was partially hubris).

She’s a total dick to Data, which I don’t exist, but other than that I like her stubbornness and personality.
