She was loads of fun in battles, but I always thought her character was boring. I could've done her better if I was writing the story now.

Personally, though, if I could do it all again I'd reduce the main travelling cast to just Uberbob and Araches. Fawriel and Shuriken could show up for one island/plot arc and leave at the end like Furious and Fooruman did.

In doing ToU I learned that it's far too hard to effectively develop six characters. I wanted to keep the character's personalities, but after a while it felt like a chore; like I had to have Araches hit on Shuri every so often, or have Uberbob make a remark about fish or kleptomania. It didn't help that so many characters lacked goals in the first place (the alignment system in my 48 Hour Fangame is a subtle parody of this).

Throughout the story, the strongest interactions were consistantly between Uberbob and Araches (and one of the most fun parts to narrate was when it was from Araches' point of view but Uberbob was executing the actions). There was potential to develop their characters a lot more, since they were in some ways such opposites (Uberbob's enthusastic zeal for adventure compared to Araches' pessimistic feelings of hopelessness at the whole situation) and in other ways so similar (filled with lust and complete indifference towards most their allies' feelings). Fawriel, L33tz4n, and Shuri were all okay at first, but after a while they were just "developed out".

Characters that were central to their own plot arc, like Fooruman and Furious, were not only easier to write for but fit better into the story as a whole. Fooruman especially - you find him starving in a ditch, he does nothing but get in the way for most of the island, but ultimately helps you thwart every one of Unfooruman's defenses and saves you in the boss battle.

I could see Fawriel being with you on Pandora's Island, since - if I recall correctly - he's the one that brings up Blackraptor and really initializes the plot, and Shuriken could join for the duration of Placespot. It could also place more emphasis on the reunion at the Perfect Solstice battle: I initially wanted to have someone from each island you saved show up at that battle, but kind of ruined it when I noticed the only people you really met on Pandora and Placespot had been travelling with you the whole time.

But... no, there was definitely a lot of mistakes in character setup I made. I wouldn't advise completely ditching L33tz4n's character (it's important that SOMEONE likes Uberbob, and the game would get boring if everyone was an extrovert), but I'd probably want to chop her up and distribute her character traits to more developed characters.
