User blog comment:SierraFanGuy/Why Does Everybody Like Ella?/@comment-2114961-20151026001420

If you want an honest thought out answer. The reason she is so well loved is not just because she's cute and sweet and kind (though that is a viable part of it). As an Ella fan myself, I believe we love her because of her purity. She was a gimmicky character, but had a plot and wasn't NECESSARILY annoying. (I understand some people hate the "sings every second" thing, but she at least had a great singing voice.)

And while she was fodder she at least had a plot was was shown to be three dimensional, unlike certain wizards. Despite all the negativity thrown at her by Sugar and Chris, she never faltered and was honestly a breath of fresh air to all the craziness and drama of everyone else. Is she overrated? Maybe. She's not Dawn levels of it because I'm p sure no one expected her to go far, and unlike Dawn her time on the show (while around the same time as hers) was I feel more memorable and left a lasting impression with alot of people.
