Her and Riker were the ones chosen to be there for their attractiveness. It was a showbiz rule that at least one female character has to be fuckable and in this case we got a male character too. Too bad the writers created such weak episodes for her, like S2 E1 “Child”. I agree that they didn’t think through her plot spoiling abilities properly. She even senses “a unifying consciousness” from Moriarty, a holodeck character made of literal photons of light… I wonder how much cocaine those writers were doing in the 80s…
Riker, Troy, and Data all came from characters that were supposed to be in ToS: Phase 2.
Riker was originally the character that would learn from and replace Kirk. Troys original character was an alien that had to repress her sex drive. And Data was a Vulcan.
Those characters were first repurposed for the movies, and then repurposed again for NG.

I saw an interview with Marina where she said she was only ever given intelligent sounding lines in the episodes where her cleavage was covered up.
