But any "scrappiness" Willie shows is more out of necessity than natural inclination.
Look at the scene where she has to rescue Indy and Short Round from the "collapsing room". She's awfully prissy and she whines about how she broke a nail!
In Senor Spielbergo's defense, "Temple" needed a character who seemed very different than Marion. The movie may go too far in the other direction, but it would've seemed redundant to give Indy another scrappy, tough love interest...
