If you do.
Check out the following. I'm still trying to figure out a read order myself though, but these are the story order.

X-23: Innocence Lost (6 Issue miniseries) Origin.

X-23: Target X (6 issue miniseries) Origin. She meets Captain America and Daredevil.

NYX (6 issue miniseries) Fallout from second origin story.

(here's where I've got my read order missing since she's in uncanny and normal X-Men here but the characterization and details are all wrong. It goes so far as to state her full skeleton is adamantium, she has brown eyes, acts feral and is literally a carbon copy of wolverine.)

Academy X New X-Men: Childhood's End (Academy X: New X-Men issue 20-end) These issues also try to explain the reason X-23 acted like she did in previous X-Men and Uncanny appearances by having Logan yell at her about playing mindgames with the team.

Marvel Team up Issues 5-6 (She meets spider-man)

X-Force V3 (angels and demons tpbs to end X-force v3 issue 1-end)

Messiah War (Lots of comics, hopefully it's in tpb form)

Then X-23's ongoing issue 1-3 which is now getting the tpb treatment finally starting in October.

X-men to serve and protect issue 2, which is before issue 4 of the ongoing but after issue 3. She meets ghost rider!

X-23's ongoign issues 4-current. Where so far she's only met the Future Foundation.

Fear itself the homefront issue 5-end (She meets Spider-Girl, and the modern Powerman, Cho, and some other youngsters.)

Avengers Academy issue 23. Not until next year, but no clue how it fits into the rest.

The modern ongoing doesn't have as much focus on tactics and action, prefering to be more subtle about it, and playing up the perceptions angle alongside the self-discovery, but the origin minis and academy X are full of it. So is X-Force with how she berates wolverine about poor strategy.

You can effectively skip the uncanny and normal x-men appearances though, as Yost and Kyle wrote a back door way in to just go from Target X to academy X, but NYX plays a huge factor into the modern characterization and has the fallout from Target X.

Personally, I highly recommend the Origin 2 minis, Academy X, and X-Force. The ongoing has a mixed start but gets great later. Including Collision the daken crossover which is in TPB form now. If you want to really know the character though, the read order really helps to get the ins and outs of the personality, the whys, and helps convey a better understanding of the character and the details to her that everyone misses.
