Pathetic? PATHETIC?! You've just pissed off Ahim's biggest fan on this site.

Sure Ahim's backstory was only examined for an episode, but her character did develop overtime. When we first saw her, we saw a lady sipping tea, politely asking citizens for their help when they first landed. Then we saw her in battle, showing her marksmanship. Okay, we have our first view of Ahim- a polite princess firing two guns and being good at it.

Skip to episode 7, where she and Doc get their asses kicked by the MOTW. She resolves to become less of a nuisance and train. Sure it's a Doc-focused episode, but we can see that she's willing to commit to becoming stronger too.

Skip to episode 13 where she was being held hostage. Despite being in a somewhat dangerous situation, she kept her cool and even managed to swindle her teammates out of money to help pay her kidnapper. There's the third view of Ahim, the "nice but crafty" side. Episode 16 showed that she can keep her cool even in Basco's grasp.

Skip to episode 23, the GoGo V episode. Here we have Luka's backstory, but Ahim still has some part in this episode. She's tired of being viewed as the little sister everybody needs to protect and speaks out.

Skip to episode 29, the Abare episode. She shows that she can be as devious as her fellow crewmates by tricking the MOTW with her various costumes, also showing a comedic side of her after Emiri gives her the Abare Pink key.

And now for her main focus episode, 41. We see the person who destroyed her planet. If you were her, wouldn't you go into a blinding rage and try to take him down yourself? We see that in Ahim. We also see her when she first encountered the Gokaiger crew- she had just witnessed her parents death, her planet was destroyed and she was now face to face with the only people with enough balls to stand up against the empire that took everything from her. Does she show any weakness? No, she walks up to them and asks if she can join them. We see her first handle a GokaiGun, and gets blown by the recoil. Now reflect to how she is today- she can handle two in one hand and not even flinch. Then we see her tell the crew that she wants revenge on the person who took everything from her. What do they do? They do one of the most epic fight scenes in Gokaiger with her theme song in the background. She has her crewmates launch an attack, Gai block said reflected attack, then come up and shoot the enemy point blank. Then she leads them in epic GokaiChanges- The Go-On Wings with Gai, the Gouraigers with Doc, GoseiPink and GoseiYellow with Luka, DekaSwan and DekaMaster with Joe, and double ShinkenRed with Marvelous, ending the entire fight with a "This is for..." speech with a Pink Charge blast from the GokaiGalleon Buster. She reveals that there are other survivors from her planet, and now she wants to be their beacon of hope.

We saw her go from the Yamato Nadeshiko of the crew into a badass gun-toting girl who would do anything for the ones she loves, who won't back down, and will make sure that she'll be the beacon of hope for her people and protect those in need.

If that ain't a character development, then I don't know what is.

End of rant.
