I loved her since the beginning, and I think the appeal to her character is that many viewers want to show her love because they sympathize with her character.

She was caring, strong, independent and not your typical Medieval ward. As a woman I really admired the writers making her out to be this type of female protagonist.

I for one do not condone her actions, and if I were living in that universe I would probably hate her. But as an audience member that can see into the character's development - I feel sorry for her more than anything.

Merlin should blame himself for what she has become.

Not that  that forgives any of her actions, and it never should, but I can't blame her 100% for people using her fear and hurt to manipulate her into a horrible person. Poor thing was stuck in a well for two years - you could still see the goodness inside her after the second season, and I think she really wanted to be helped. (Her vision in 04x01 of her asking for help never came to pass sadly).

I just think her story is tragic - it's sad to see such a great person turn into such a crazy b - witch. ;)

Especially if you are a Mergana shipper and believe that she loved Merlin to only be betrayed by the person that she trusted the most.
