Ara, my oc

What do you all think of my oc?

Full Name: Arabella Belrose
Nickname: Ara
Age: 18
Personality: Shy when you first meet her and easily flustered. If you're close she's sarcastic, funny, kind, and very emotional. She loves making others smile and she'll do anything to help the people she cares about. She cries easily (like steven from steven universe. "You cried over a snake earlier!" "THEY DONT HAVE LLEEEGGSS") and is incredibly insecure and anxious, though she rarely shows it and will hide when shes feeling down. She gets pissed off easily, and if you hurt her friends she'll hurt you, but if you hurt her she doesn't care. Doesn't fight for herself very often.
Likes: Music, art, stars, reading, and studying people.
Dislikes: Yelling, lying, idiots, confrontation, being forced to choose, and being patronized. Fears:Thunderstorms, loud noises, and choking.
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 115 Lbs
Body Type: Skinny yet soft, not a lot of muscle.
Piercings/Tattoos: She has a small tattoo on her left wrist that says listen and vines with small flowers on them all the way up her left arms.
Scars/Distinguishing Marks: Random small scars on her arms and legs from being clumsy. Long one on her leg from falling of a boat once (whoops).
Skin tone: Very pale, fair skin.
Hair: Short, wavy pixie cut that's chestnut brown.
Eyes: Bright cyan blue eyes.
Wearing: When it's cold, light grey long sweater with pockets, black tank top, pastel blue leggings, and knee high boots. When it's warm, a black loose crop top with a white lacy bralette, waist high shorts, and she's usually shoeless. If she's forced to wear shoes, it's old dirty toms.
 
I've seen the "Shy on the outside, but really X when you know her well' formula quite a bit of times.
Unfortunately, this doesn't deviate that far from the formula...
I don't know how to give you suggestions without sounding rude, I'd try to sugar coat things but uhh...
I'm all out of sugar.

Here's what I recommend:
Since this character sheet is very barebones, you can create a lengthier one to talk more about her personality. Really, characters like these are quite common in stories/RP's/etc, but I believe that if there were more explanation to why they are like that, and more elaboration to their individual traits (Not just a blob of personality in a single paragraph) Ara would be so much more than just Ara.
If that makes any sense...

Try giving her a full backstory (Although I think you might've given her some prior to writing her personality), writing a character's entire life is a good step to helping you create personality, flaws, quirks, and etc.

If you need some help
Or if you just want to ignore me, block me, or dismiss me as a faker...
Then PM me, I'm online first thing in the morning (If I'm not asleep).

This is a very, very rough version of her charcter. I didn't want to go to deep into her since I didn't know if anyone would even reply. Thanks for the constructive criticism though.
