Perhaps this selfish side that comes out in her now in then will backfire on her somehow
If that had happened in series one I probably wouldn't have turned against her so much. As it stands, she gets away with just about everything. Compare Ianto, Tosh and Owen, who all had their lives ruined by their mistakes, and who all came very close to dying. Gwen, on the contrary, although in peril every other episode, winds up with very little in the way of consequences for her actions. Rhys remains oblivious, everyone else forgives/forgets/moves on, and she carries on just has she has from the start.
She does have potential - not as much as Ianto and Tosh, I think, because they were woefully underused, but still some.
Still, that does mean I could try playing around with her "becoming aware that she has these flaws", as you put it. (And shadowbyrd tells me I should write something like that. :) ) Food for thought, at least. Thanks.
