Well, she gives good speeches, but doesn't do good conversations. She fights physically înstead of talking to her mother, and prefers acting directly over speaking things out - like when she goes to shoot instead of discussing her issue with her father, at least. I do find her a little socially awkward, what with all the guests and servants and family around.

Maybe her gorgeous red hair stands for the way she stands out in a crowd and finds it hard to blend in. And when Elinor covers it, she is trying to subdue Merida's "strangeness" and fit her inside good society.
