I don't think anyone was arguing that she's an angel or a goody-goody, least of all me- just that she might have some justification for whatever she did. After all, we know how YanDev loves using anime tropes and clichés, and a character having a reputation as terrifying, strong and ruthless but having a soft spot for something or someone in particular is one of them. Granted, it's usually with male delinquents, but the point stands.

And the idea defending a friend- or herself- as the justification was only a first suggestions off the top of my head. Maybe she was caught alone and attacked by a rival gang and protected herself, injuring them pretty badly when she fought back, and the school found out. Maybe she found another student doing something that she found reprehensible- hey, even delinquents have moral standards; just think of the mob- and the student pre-emptively reported her to stop her from doing anything about it- after all, who are they going to believe, a regular student or the known delinquent leader? Maybe one of the members of the gang betrayed them and ratted her out to the school. Maybe she had something stolen from her, and got caught stealing it back, and the school immediately assumed the worst when she got caught. Maybe she was being blackmailed- all the rivals have dark secrets, and I doubt that Yan-chan is the only person selling panty shots to Info-chan- into doing something, and either got caught doing that favour or put her blackmailer in a coma.

She doesn't have to be completely innocent, I'm just saying that she might have a sympathetic motive for whatever she did, and that could help to convince Senpai that she's not all bad.
