This citation summarizes why she is my all time fav character from MB
Finally, Draupadi has been shown in the epic Mahabharata as a unique character showing great courage, endurance, and firm in her resolve even if she had to encounter all sorts of trials and tribulations. With a view to fulfil her vow (a promise to herself to tie her untied hair after washing them with the blood of Dushasana) and to punish all those who had disgraced her and perpetrated offence against her, she kept ablaze the fire of revenge burning in her heart into the hearts and minds of Pandavas. She was the very embodiment of shree or good fortune in the house of the Pandavas. No doubt, she was occasionally subject to moods of indignation, but the loftiness of her soul, her unfailing courage in the face of disasters, her spirit of self-sacrifice, and, above all , her moral earnestness and spiritual integrity have shed a luster on the ideals of womanhood in ancient India. Her character has been woven by Maharishi Krishna Dwaipayana with great skill. The very circumstances of her birth made it abundantly clear that she was destined to fulfil a significant role. Thus, the refulgence of Draupadi's lustrous prototype of womanhood shall always be a source of inspiration for the women of India.
