@mayu_hojo could you please explain a bit further? I'm curious. How does it fit into mythology or hero tales? Could you give an example

I honestly am not 100% sure if I am expanding on what I wrote accurately, but I mean that she's a hero's tale on how to handle her situation. She triumphed it, whether it was just good or bad writing, she had the character to be able to do a lot of things that are honestly a bit over the top. Being able to try to make friends with the bully, understand their side, and actually make up even though she's technically the victim. Would I expect anyone in her situation to do what she did? Absolutely not, and so her example is like a Herculean myth in a way where she had done the impossible (or unthinkable for this), in a modern setting where it is relatable. I feel like our relationship to her as a character then is to muster her energy/strength and aim to be like her, at least in the way where I think we reference ourselves to mythology. And by extent the story itself is an account of what has gone right, and what we can learn as human beings by her example.
