As far as abusive and violent go, don't be ridiculous. That's a comedic trope used very often with manga characters. For a good portion of part one, Sakura's personality was annoying. The chunnin exam shifted that and the time skip made her even more likeable.

And I could care how nice a character is, if they're only good for getting their ass kicked then they aren't likeable. At all.
