Hate on Courtney all you want, but she absolutely is not a background character, she's an especially dynamic character who's fiery persona has been the focus of a lot in this series for better or worse, and has been interesting to watch considering her nature and such. She's no background character, she's been among those at the forefront of many of the series' unfolding plots.
