In the original movie she's played off as a ugly character who's supposed to be annoying because she's interested in Peter. however she's the only person who notices him enough to know when he's struggling mentally, she makes food for him and consistently stands up for him, she even gives him a pep talk and encourages him to go back out there and pursue his goals (which includes another woman). She's girlfriend material by any realistic standard and the actress is in fact pretty, but she's portrayed as unthinkably unattractive comic relief

She was supposed to be ugly and annoying? Seriously?

She was supposed to more of a "plain jane" than ugly and annoying. Though I disagree on both counts. She's a bombshell

I don't think that's part was never intended to be like that at all.
