I did NOT like this character at first, and that was by design from the writers. They wrote an annoying bratty punk with peppy teen overconfidence and tired ol' teen rebellion. They even gave her a book of bad puns. But dropping an utterly average modern teenager in a grim post apocalyptic world immediately captures your attention. Despite her grating positivity and attitude, she's NORMAL. She's a taste of life before the apocalypse because she never experienced the horrors the older generation went through. But that alone doesn't cut it, the annoyingness needs to interact with the story elements: not just the plot and characters, but the overall idea the story is conveying. And that's where The Last of Us shines.
