I'm not sure that I think it's so much that she would be a specific target for bullying per se as much as once a bully does bully her, he may find the experience and lack of consequences deeply satisfying and thus find himself a wonderful target for his continued bullying needs.

Some people also give out "please bully me" vibes that bullies can read and respond to. I don't know whether she gives off these vibes or not.
