That\'s not...what CharacterFocus means at all. Yes, she does technically trump off on her own as stated in the description, but that\'s because she\'s (at least temporarily) \'\'written out of the show\'\' at the time of series 3. We have no idea what she\'s doing at the time, or even if \

That\\\'s not...what CharacterFocus means at all. Yes, she does technically trump off on her own as stated in the description, but that\\\'s because she\\\'s (at least temporarily) \\\'\\\'written out of the show\\\'\\\' at the time of series 3. We have no idea what she\\\'s doing at the time, or even if \\\"at that time\\\" means anything for a show about time travel.

And I have literally no idea what you mean by \\\"upped from her normal self\\\". Apart from a general level of experience with time travel, I don\\\'t see that much of a shift of Rose\\\'s personality. She had feelings for the Ninth Doctor and she had feelings for the Tenth Doctor. YMMV on how the chemistry \\\"worked\\\" for them, but her general character didn\\\'t seem off for series 2. At least not for me.

And I don\\\'t think the majority of the fanbase hates her (if she\\\'s controversial, then it\\\'s clearly BaseBreaker. I really don\\\'t understand how when TheScrappy is clearly outlined in the four points, you can seriously add \\\"a base breaking example\\\" with a straight face). Why did she [[http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2012/08/vote-whos-the-greatest-woman-of-doctor-who-ever/ win this character poll]]? Against the person who had [[Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures her own spinoff series]] in the finals? Did everyone just blot out an entire David Tennant season? Are they averaging out \\\"awesome Rose\\\" and \\\"awful Rose\\\"?

Also, when River\\\'s character focus is the whole point of series 6, love her or leave her, it stops being \\\"put into big scenes for no reason\\\". She\\\'s the whole reason behind [[spoiler:Amy\\\'s \\\"pregnancy\\\" and the Doctor\\\'s \\\"death\\\"]] and the Silence\\\'s plan in the fight against the Doctor hinges on [[spoiler:raising]] her.

It\\\'s \\\'\\\'not\\\'\\\' loopholes, they\\\'re just not examples of CreatorsPet, and extremely unlikely to be examples of CharacterShilling. They might fit the second point (because really, how many head writers \\\'\\\'dislike\\\'\\\' their characters?), but the others?
