For most people that watch "Grey’s Anatomy", Amelia is a very annoying and unlikeable character. The truth is that she is one of my favorites and you must watch "Private Practice" to appreciate Amelia and what made her the way that she is.

If you watched "Private Practice" then watched her on "Grey's Anatomy", then you'd feel bad for her and also think she is a bad ass, so here are the nine reasons why.

1. She always stands up for herself and speaks her mind.

2. Through her adversities being a black sheep of her family and fighting addiction while being a surgeon, she was always a fighter.

3. She had to remain strong when she lost her baby with no brain.

4. She has the confident we all need, despite everything she has gone through.

5. Despite everything dramatic, her and Derek had a good relationship where she could express herself in ways she couldn't with other, and you wouldn't understand why she is this way if you haven't seen Private Practice.

7.She had to have the strength that was from herself and her sisterly support that also came from Meredith and Maggie to go on with her wedding despite her family not wanting to go see her.

8. She knows how to stick by family and friends because she's had few people stick by her in her own family and her friends become her family.

9. And finally, because all of the crap she has gone through, she kicks ass as a surgeon.
