I don't think they gave her much to work with, did they? Her lines were pretty insipid. And she was supposed to be the "sexy one" hence the ridiculous cheerleading outfit!
I agree she grew a lot over the series in lots of good ways. I never much cared for her outfits they were just so she'd look "sexy" I guess. They never made sense! And she was plenty attractive without the costumes and wigs! (I was so happy when she finally got to wear her OWN hair in the movies! :laugh2
But later on she got some great eppy's like the Romulan one (Faces?), etc. I loved it when she became a Commander, finally. And she looks just fine in her Starfleet uniform!
