She is attention and hug seeking because her father never once wooped her ass (even her mother mollycoddled her and never wooped her ass, and gave her any attention she demanded to get as a kid, and thus she can't do without attention or other people around her all the time), so she doesn't know what tough love is, and thinks the world isn't compassionate enough. She has a geeky sense of innocence within herself and others that doesn't exist in reality, where no humans are entirely innocent or undeserving of suffering. In reality, her sense of justice is that any rule or law that supports her and gets somebody else in trouble is right and just, no matter the rule or law, and any rule or law that disagrees with her or would get her in trouble was unjust, though people like her never actually faced the same consequences everybody else would over breaking rules and laws.
