It would be nice to see her develop some confidence and be on the level of Erza and Mirajane, and have them become famous as Fairy Tail's S-rank Female Trio.
I disagree. She was never a fighter, deep down. She's more like Lucy in that sense. She practices magic for other reasons than to kick ass in battle, let alone seek fights. In fact she doesn't really practice magic as such, she simply is her water magic. She was an elite in Phantom Lord because aside from the master and Gajeel, Phantom Lord sucked. Well, actually even the master sucked, just like Sabertooth's master. She was also not being true to herself during those times. Kind of like a disillusioned soldier who's doing what they're told to do without a question, but who wouldn't score any unexpected victories. After meeting Gray, she dedicated herself to chasing him. She didn't care about getting stronger as a fighter. Erza is obviously as battle crazy as the dudes. Mirajane used to fight a lot in the past.
