Her personality makes sense when you picture her as a carefree confident pirate captain woman before the incident that caused her to de-age. Think like Luffy, who just does not give a shit about what he says and just does what he feels like. What i cant stand about must child characters is when they feel the need to act like an adult but never actually act like one when it matters, or completely deviate the party from their goal, or just cause really stupid avoidable accidents that sidetracks the whole story.
Take Anise from ToA, she's incredibly annoying, constantly mentions that shes totally an adult, acts all cutesy about being a gold digger, and even backstabs the party. Also never shuts the fuck up about Ion. She never actually acts like an adult and grows up. And im supposed to care when she fights with her little ex-bestfriend while they fight each other with oversized plush toys? Nah, im good.
Patty did get a moment of growing up when she had to put a bullet between Seifer's eyes to put him out of his misery, her right hand pirate mate. But again, the writing just wasn't in her favor and the game still continues like normal without it mattering. Karol and his growing up moment is done much better because he was there since the start.
