Since the beginning, she was treated specially and she didn't even play any important role. She didn't do anything special.

She didn't really show anything extraordinary that makes 3 (three!) most teriffic characters risking their lives.

From the beginning, Merlin has shown interest in her although it didn't develop further. Lancelot falling in love at the first sight. Arthur falling in love after she (only) barked at him. Hengist believed that she was the princess (was she so princess-like?). Gwaine was also  very fond of her at the first sight (in the episode  Gwaine )

What is it about Guienevere? Was she the most beautiful girl in the Camelot or something? Is it said in the legend that way?

I love Gwen's innocent yet courageous personality. She should have probably had a bigger role-- you have a point there-- but I can not agree with you that the only reason for her being such a big part was the fact that she was the most beautiful woman in Camelot. I think everyone loves Guinevere because she is kindly, brave, and wise. I think Camelot will prosper under her leadership (even though, sadly, we can't see it happening.) Maybe Morgana was more interesting, but I think that that's only because Morgana has more chances to flesh her character out, so if Gwen isn't that interesting, it's probably the fault of the series writers and none of her own. :-) Hope this helps explain things a bit more clearly!
