I always interpreted it to mean she signed on with the explicit deal she wouldn't have to show up too often, not that she was just being flaky.

Like Toei basically said "sure you're playing a main character but whatever, we'll just have them write around you!", thus shooting Wizard in the foot before it even started. The contract is probably exactly the problem, if I had to guess.
