I actually didn't like Rose that much to start out with. She was kind of, I don't know, whiny. But she certainly grew on me. You could really see how she grew, in general, throughout the show - from an ordinary shop girl who was angry that the TARDIS got inside her head without her permission, to someone who would look into the heart of the TARDIS with no idea what would happen, because she knew she needed to go back and help, and likewise with transporting back from the parallel world in Doomsday. She was fantastic by the end of season two. I think the only thing that really bothered me about her was that they insisted on her being 19, which is absurd. She was clearly older than 19.
I understand why Rose fell in love with the Doctor. I mean, really. I'm not entirely sure I see why the Doctor fell in love with Rose. I mean, I know I fell in love with her, but I'm not a Time Lord. I just... it never made sense to me. Although I guess the Doctor does seem to give his heart away rather easily... Rose, Madame de Pompadour, I would argue at least a little bit to Jabe... I guess Rose was just around long enough for it to turn into something. I guess maybe when you're that alone you have to love someone. Maybe you don't have a choice in the matter. Maybe that's the only way to make it bearable.
