Clara Oswald: Clingy or Clever?

Cheesy title, I know....I know, but I couldn't think of anything else that summed up the question that has been bugging me since I met her, especially once Capaldi became the Doctor. I do not deny that, as a person, she is very likeable, but as a companion she tends to bother me.

She met the Matt Smith as the Doctor and even though she might deny it, she fell in love with the Impossible Hero and she was the Impossible Girl. Sure she might have been "born to save the Doctor" but she isn't the only important companion. There was Donna, Martha, and Amy; all of them taught the Doctor the importance of family.

With all of his previous companions, there was never the obvious question of "Will a relationship between them become canon?" Even with Rose, canon suggests that the 10th Doctor might've had feelings for Rose and we all know that Rose did grow to love the Doctor but she understood the consequences of traveling with him. She knew the consequences of falling in love with him.

Martha had that school girl crush on the Doctor but quickly overcame that (Was it because of Captain Jack Harper?). She was loyal to the Doctor and knew that he would not be able to return her feelings so she took the small part of the Doctor that she could - a friend.

The Ponds were family to the Doctor. Amy and Rory. The Girl Who Waited and The Plastic Centenarian. Many people say that all Amy and Rory did was follow the Doctor's orders....but that's because they trusted him. They trusted him to know what he was doing or to follow his instincts. In the end, they became his family.

She is taking the Doctor for granted and wasn't ready to accept the 12th Doctor because he wasn't "young looking".

Is it just me or is Clara just really annoying?
