Since she does have so many powers, do you think the series will give her a character arc involving an eventual rise into a leadership position?
Maybe for one episode, but not on any permanent basis. If anything, it'll be a raise in self-confidence, but her character type isn't one that takes a leadership role. Hers is to be sweet, a tad naive, and blushing peppy wallflower. I think it'd be awesome though, having her trying to be the leader while so unsure of herself (she already did something similar in Ep 2) would make for a more interesting dynamic than the stronger in-charge personalities the guys have.
Aqualad has just as varied a power set (underwater breathing, high durability, increased strength, electroshock, limited hydrokinesis) so it's not a power issue, just... girls don't get to lead the teams, I guess.
If any female would fight for leadership, it'll be Artemis; maybe Wondergirl when she finally shows up.
