==What Makes Her an Ensemble Dark Horse?==
*She is like the innocent version of a stalker with a crush without bordering on harassment.
*She makes herself useful when she saves Wart from the wolf (who is usually a comic relief character), in the one scene where he is a genuine threat.
*Whereas the fat lady squirrel gets no sympathy from the audience once she realizes that Merlin is actually an old man, the girl squirrel's heartbreak once she realizes that Wart is actually a boy is easily the saddest moment in the film, which ends as she climbs to the top of the tree and weeps as she watches the boy she fell in love with disappear forever, unable to comprehend the natural boundaries of her species. It is in this scene where the audience is taught that love is the greatest force on Earth.
*Wart and Merlin feel sorry for her as they watch her sad reaction. Wart expecially as he even tries to explain to her with no avail. He may not love her but he's still sympathetic to her. 
*Many fans have written follow ups where Merlin takes it upon himself to change her into a human girl so she can start a new life with Wart.
