It makes her far more tolerable than your Shunpeis or your Onaris (as does the fact that she can turn the wackiness off and be serious when she has to).

This is how I feel. Annoying characters are fine so long as they are balanced out by other characters being just as annoyed as the audience.

Onari did not have that in Ghost, but here, Poppy is okay because the other characters at least acknowledge her bizarre behavior.

I felt the same way about Akiko in W. She's an annoying character, but what makes her funny is the fact that Shotaro and gang actually acknowledge how annoying she is.
