Does anyone else feel suspicious about DeWinter? Why do we need to get to know her?

From a story perspective, DeWinter adds conflict, or at least contrast, which makes the story more interesting and shakes the main character's tree a little. We need to get to know her because she's there, and getting to know her will give us (and Dallas) more insight to the main character, or affect her story arc.

I predict we'll eventually like her, though she won't be most people's favorite character. I feel the same way about Louise, even though some people really love her. I think that's why the series appeals to so many people. It's a diverse group of characters that provide something for everyone.(less)
