So your saying her only good characteristic is she might take Hiccup's side?
In the novels at least, she and Hiccup made an excellent team. She was daring and brash where he was shy and meek, and he acted as her sense of reason and restraint. The two of them together made for a frightfully effective team. Her personality is abrasive, but than again so is the average Viking's. Considering that Camicazi comes from a Viking tribe that's predominantly matriarchal, it's not at all surprising that she would be a little rough around the edges.
I'll admit I'm adding her more for the sake of tension in Hiccup's life than anything else, but she does have her good points. She's loyal, adverturous, and playful. She would also loathe Astrid with a passion. Keep in mind that for the first two thirds of the movie or so until she was impressed by Hiccup and Toothless, Astrid was a perfectionist that cared little for Hiccup in any significant manner. She was essentially a Fem!Sasuke with blonde hair until Hiccup forced her to evolve. Camicazi, on the other hand, is much more like Naruto himself when he was younger. Astrid and Camicazi antagonizing each other and trying to get Hiccup's affections makes for a good side-plot and some potential comic relief.
The fact she was a childhood friend would factor in significantly too. Keep in mind that Hiccup was mostly ostracized and seen as a source of shame for the Hairy Hooligans until he emerged as a hero. Someone that not only understood the pressure of being a chieftan's heir and didn't judge him for how he handled it would have been beyond prescious to him. The fact that he would only see Camicazi a few times a year at most when the two tribes traded with each other just made it hard to push the friendship much further. Now Camicazi has come calling as Hiccup's generation is old enough to discuss things like courtship and dowries in the right circumstances. She literally did not expect anyone else to change how they treated Hiccup until she could claim him for herself. She'll be in for a rude awakening.
