Naoka actually had a lot of character development, though it was subtle. Putting her petty nature aside to befriend Miyoko and later attempting to do the same with Shouko. Yes, maybe her reasonings for hating Shouko were superficial, but you have to remember that she was a child when she formed her reasonings. In the mind of a child, she had plenty of reason to hate Shouko and as a not-yet-matured teenager she blamed Shouko for destroying the little life she so longed to have again. For stealing Shouya from her and, in her mind, destroying the friendship Shouya had with Shimada and Keisuke. She does come to the realization later on that a lot of this was her fault and later becomes a bit closer to Shouko, but I don't think all of that was shown in the movie.
