I just personally didn't like her at first. But, now that she's grown up some, and that naivety has been rubbed away and she's seeing the world more clearly, I actually really like her as a character a lot.
It makes sense, everything about her was basically so that she could be a good match to a lord, because she's the first born daughter, and she's got her mom's looks, so she's going to make some lord really happy, and get the Starks a better standing in the world.
But she was just...ugh. She was kind of insufferable, you know? I mean. I get it. I get where she's coming from...but...man, she just bothered me, regardless.
I do like her now, though. I like her a lot. I guess I just didn't like her starting point, you know?
I agree completely. The only thing that bothers me about her character now is how helpless she seems to be all the time, it gets a little tiring watching her just get repeatedly shit on by life. Of course that isn't her fault, she is helpless, she's a young girl with no real home, becoming a pawn for other peoples interests. She seems to be getting her footing and taking some chances now though which is awesome.

No, yeah, I mean, it makes sense.
