Since she gets such a big role as one of the human sacrifices later on, I think Arakawa should've spent some more time on her to make her a little more interesting.

Fair enough, I suppose. Still, I always liked the master characters, and their brutality to their 'idiot apprentices' always made me laugh. Lol... she owned a bear by herself - that's pretty frikkin sweet. But I would think that being a supporting character adds more to her charm; in other words, I think that Arakawa gave the right amount of her - not too much to make her redundant and enough to establish her as a cool character.
PS: I'm not sure if this is the case, but you might be better off using spoiler tags for some of that, if you know what I mean.

Izumi made them do exactly what she did, but gave them more help considering the age difference.
Besides so far she kicks far more asses than anyone. Her entrance simply put Armstrongs to shame.

Hey, I would debate her entrance putting Armstrong's to shame.... that's a technique that's been passed down the Armstrong line for generations XD (plus, he DID save his sister in doing so).

Isn't she though? Can't mess with Sensei. I like that Sig has more of a combat role here as well, as in the first anime, he was just kind of silent and supporting Izumi by being there and not much else.

Oh! And I loved how Hoenheim had opened the door in that wall which was supposed to smash him :D
Man... so many great things are happening and now I can't choose on which character I want signature and avatar more -_-

This might also need a spoiler tag..... not sure, though.

Yeah, I agree... the mystique factor. We got a taste of how much tail she kicks, but we don't know enough about her to make her a main character - I think it's a nice touch to make the readers enticed by her.
