Shirley death is very tragic. However, it also makes her character much more likable. What she said in the very end just before she died really make me like her.
It is sad that she did not admit she loved him this much until the very end. Best love confession a girl could make ever. It is so desperate and so complete. You can believe she would do anything for him. You can't help love her back kind of and take her on that offer.
Before that scene, her confused attitude and desire to stop him from skipping classes was kind of annoying.
I want to clarify here that it is not her death in itself that made her better person, but the kind of resolution she came to immediately before her death. The things she said to Rolo and to Lelouch himself afterwards.
She finally made her mind to be with him and follow him wherever. That is how a girl should be. Girls are meant to follow obey and serve the man they love. That is the kind of girl I want. It is great that Shirley could become like that at least at the very end.
After that moment I could like Shirley and morn her death.
It is sad that she told it the wrong person (Rolo) though. She could become a useful member of the Black Knights.
More on what made Shirley Change
I think that mall incident where Lelouch and Suzaku caught her I would say she will be more understanding and accepting of Lelouch. That experience really changed her. She started see Lelouch differently as she understood that he is not just a carefree playboy as people make him out to be but has plenty of hardships of his own.
The things she told him before she died shows how much she changed and how much she finally understood and accepted him.
That could have been beginning of the very new Shirley, but Rolo killed her.
