Why She Rocks

 * 1) She's an intelligent, cunning and very mysterious character.
 * 2) Angela Mei, an actress as well as a model, gamer, anime-lover and cosplayer, portrays the character very well and is very appealing to look at.
 * 3) She is very competent at her job, managing to sow discord and divide up the Northern Base Riders, as well as obtain most of the Seikens for her master.
 * 4) Her Kamen Rider form looks super cool and has an awesome transformation.
 * 5) Her debut as a Rider is cool as well, as she fought both Buster and Slash and defeated both of them.
 * 6) As a villain she's cool and mysterious. As a heroine she's still fun.
 * 7) While loyal Master Logos at first, she eventually starts to question him and later turns against him when his evil motives become more apparent.
 * 8) Her redemption is well built up and happens over the course of several episodes.
 * 9) As the series progressed, especially after she turns against Master Logos as mentioned in #8, she was much more willing to work with Touma and his gang than her brother, and managed to successfully obtain a book gate for Touma and Rintaro to use to confront Master Logos with.
 * 10) The hug she gave Magine in the episode 20 of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, which was the cross-over with Kamen Rider Saber, is very wholesome to watch. The knowledge that Angela Mei is a fan of Magine further makes that scene wholesome. You can easily tell that her dream of meeting and hugging Magine became reality with that scene.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She looks up to her older brother way too much and isn't all that willing to stand up to him when he's being foolish.
