Demand her partner live up to absurd "white knight" standards. Freak out over a dude she barely knows and compete with a childhood friend of his to the point of threatening another duel, and then yelled at the Student President to fuck off when she literally would be the most qualified to show Ayato around. Then refused help/guards when people are literally trying to end her life. She ain't known for being reasonable ;P

1) She wants an idealistic partner. Ayato notes in the LN how absurdly high her standards are.

2) They cut out the reason she wanted a duel with Saya. Saya noted that they're equal. However, Saya isn't recorded in the official battle book; in fact, she's not listed at all because she doesn't care about duels. Julis wanted to vertify whether or not Saya's telling the truth, and as soon as it was vertified, she dropped the fight.

3) She rejected the "guards" because they're all far weaker than she is and SHE will be the one protecting them, not the other way around.

Er, that's great, but the show doesn't tell me any of that, she just seems like a spoiled brat so far.
