back then she was your typical over the top nick kid i'd say? like, generally obnoxious in her over enthusiasm for things and had no issue keeping the squeaky clean image the network wanted from her. directly after that she went to a brief stint on mtv which wasn't received very well by fans or parents of fans, so after that she was a little tentative to move forward or accept anything too adult because she didn't want to lose her fanbase. she kept up the squeaky clean thing in her public life so even if projects were a little more risque than people would expect, she'd still have the "well that was just a role and she's still a good, nice person!" to fall back on. within the last year or so though she's been a bit more open and willing to drop the facade, both because she feels removed enough from nickelodeon at this point and because she knows she can't let herself stagnate in the mindset of a teenager, even if she is playing one currently. so yeah, she's still coming into her own a little bit! overall she's pretty friendly, she can snark a little once she knows someone well enough, but for the most part her nickelodeon grooming has left her trying to please everyone at all times and be everyone's friend. it probably doesn't always come off as genuine, but it is since she's a more genuine person in general now!
