The protagonist is NOT attractive, nor can she do everything she wants, because of physical limitations. She gains respect and admiration, even, for qualities like loyalty, perseverance, skill, and bravery. I think she is a much more relatable and inspiring heroine than the plethora of "kick-ass" chosen ones, "thinks she's not pretty but actually everyone else thinks she's gorgeous" female protagonists out there.
