She has a lot of sustain unlike most assassins and she can stay in lane longer whereas most assassins get targeted and damaged easily. A role of an assassin is to get the kill and get out of the fight as soon as possible so you don't get focused on hence why most assassins have an escape or stealth ability (i.e. Shaco has a Deceive and Fizz has his Playful/Trickster). Her kit seems more tank-oriented if you ask me. :-/
