but she has a LIFE outside of Yoruichi, you know :|

Okay, are we reading/watching the same canon? Lmao. She really doesn't. XD That's an integral part of her personality - her fixation with her kitty sensei and the resulting drama and wangst it causes (I'm not referring to the possibility of her being in love with Yoruichi, by the way - I'll leave the shipping wank to someone else). She wasn't designed to be a three dimensional character, as I'm sure the mangaka himself would even tell you. Every Bleach character has a niche they fill, and only a lucky few are developed beyond that.

Yeah, Soi is a captain and a bitchninja and does a few things OTHER than obsess over Yoruichi, but you could count those things on one hand. Sometimes characters aren't exactly designed to be realistic and "whole", you know? If Soi were, she'd be one of the main characters.

I agree with your dislike of that particular artist's portrayal of Soi, though. Soi is definitely not a weak character. That... is like turning Byakuya into a simpering tearful uke. DO NOT WANT.
