in QoA we saw Attolia largely through her own eyes, and she didn't believe herself lovable. She says something to that effect to Eddis, and even asks Gen, "Who am I that you should love me?"
I completely agree. I thought it was very telling that when she first realizes she loves Eugenides, she asks herself, "who is he that I should love him?" but at the end when she knows him better and is facing what she has done to him, she says, "who am I that you should love me?"
