1) Let's see, appearance-wise she's as flat as a board, has patches on her skin that make her look like a cow sometimes, and when she changes color she looks ridiculous.

2) Backstory-wise, we know she had a shitty childhood and that she beat the shit out of some girls for laughing over Faunus's miseries, and then became a terrorist, because apparently beating up humans is Justice just because it's for "a good cause".

Personality-wise, aside from what Smile implies, what do we know about her? She can't even bring herself to hurt Blake, unlike Adam, and while that makes her less of a bastard, it does make her seem more indecisive. She can't handle people saying she looks human, and she advocates disproportionate retribution.

3) Overall, what we've seen of her isn't too impressive, too charming and attractive. She doesn't have the looks, and we don't know enough about her either. 1) Most of that is based on personal tastes, for me, her not being "stacked" doesn't seem like a negative, unless you're into big boobs like Yang's. The patches aren't bad either, then again, most people I know have freckles or birthmarks so I guess I'm desensitized. And the color change I again don't mind.

2) Well, Backstory isn't much, but it's more than most of the WF has. Plus, we don't know what she has actually done while in the WF, so we can't say she beats up humans aside from those three girls, which I must add was at a time of Emotional Unbalance with the implication her parents died in the Mine Collapse. Plus, her indecisiveness is suppossed to be a sign that, unlike the other WF Members, she could be reasoned with and pull a Heel Face Turn. The People saying she looks like a human thing is suppossed to be a trigger phrase, in that it stirs up the memories of atlas, combined with Ilia's lack of Impulse control (at least that what it appears to be) and it turns out bad.

For that matter, if say Ilia were to pull a Heel Face Turn and join up with Blake, how would you feel about that Someone?

3) Well, we have only gotten like 10 minutes worth of scenes of her, compared to Neo who has about 40 minutes of Screen Time. Give her more time, and with the Implications she'll be a big part of V5, and we will get more on her.
