I don't think she'd be as popular because there are the "always a high schooler" guys who only care that she's "hott". However, the forsaken in general are liked because of their moral relativism. Hate someone because they killed you and brought you back in a form you find repulsive? Kill them. Now that they're dead and they were the only way you were getting new recruits? Kill people and bring them back in a form they find repulsive.
If anyone asks say "hey, it's better than death". Never-mind the fact that they wouldn't even BE dead if it weren't for you.
