Why she might be annoying:

Religious accounts mix faith, interpretation, fantasy and historical reality making accuracy suspect.
Their marriage was incestuous, Jacob's mom and her dad were siblings (they were first cousins).
She was destined to marry Esau (Jacob's brother), but she did not want to.
Her father tricked Jacob into marrying her instead of his beloved Rachel.
Jacob disliked her, but kept her as his wife.

Why she might not be annoying:

She gave birth to Jacob's first four sons shortly after the marriage.
She gave birth to most of Jacob's children.
Moses, Aaron, King David, Elizabeth, John The Baptist, Barnabas, Peter, Joseph, Mary and Jesus Christ are her descendants.
She was forced to marry Jacob because her father claimed the older daughter should marry before the younger one.
She did not wish to marry Esau because she felt he was not faithful to God.
