I'll always, always prefer a flawed character to a flawless one and I love Orihime, especially because her psychological barriers are treated so realistically. I love how she's essentially the most powerful character in Bleach - and the weakest, the only one so pathetically lost for direction. I love how she's in so many ways Ichigo's female counterpart (not in a romantic fashion, the way I see them).
But yeah. I'm always happy about characters fighting to overcome (and perhaps, succumb to) their psychological issues. And luckily for me, it just happens in Bleach all the time. ^^ I don't think Orihime needs to learn how to fight anything except herself; we already know that she can fight if her issues aren't weighing her down. But as opposed to Ichigo, her means to fight herself are so very limited (Ichigo, at least, has Zangetsu)...

Okay, I'll stop rambling now.
