What I love about Nia was that she tried to be the Mary Sue character, but failed. She didn't manage to magically cheer Simon up, nor did she convince her father to give up his ideals, nor get the miracle ending most every anime ends up with: where the guy saves both the world and the girl. She was willing to get her hands dirty, but she often failed at what she tried to do. And not always in the cute way anime characters do (except in the case of cooking). When trying to convince her father she just straight up FAILED. When trying to stop Adiane, she failed. When trying to cheer Simon up, she failed. Pretty much the only thing she succeeded at was moving her arm near the end of the series. But she never stopped trying, and she was always there to cheer the others up.
On the other hand, I find SimonxYoko trite. It seems superficial for her to switch to Simon after Kamina dies. It's like turning him into a replacement, and would have only made things worse for his 'I need to be like bro' whining. I find their relationship more touching as just friends, anyway. It's like saying 'I care about you, but I see you as something other than a sex object'. Plus, I'm a whore for some KittanxYoko. KaminaxYoko just seems like a silly little girl crush (she only barely knew him before trying to nail him), and SimonxYoko seems the same way. Yoko was the first girl to pay attention to him. He was probably more attracted to the prospect of a hot girl giving him the time of day than he was actually interested in her.
