Talk:Suì-Fēng (Blankslate)

Right, part of the responsibility you have when you go ahead and make something like this is to keep true to the canon character you're impersonating. Sadly, in this case - that is not even attempted from what I can see. I'll line this up into several facts. I'll be brutally blunt here.
 * 1) Soifon is, as you fittingly put in her age section. Three centuries old in this incarnation of her, this means that her current personality is a result of centuries of hardships, experiences and suffering. Since she's not a young woman by any means, changing her would require at least several centuries worth of work, it'd simply be impossible for her to change otherwise. This of course, is quite a stretch on its own, as truthfully enough. A woman of her age wouldn't be receptive to change, ever! Especially not one as drastic as this.
 * 2) Secondly, it appears as though you've made Soifon little more than your standard housewife, which spits on her character so thoroughly that it leaves me a sad. You've reduced one of the strongest female characters in the entire franchise from being the respected Captain of the 2nd Division to being restricted to cook, doing laundry and changing diapers. Does that seem defendable to you, it most certainly doesn't seem so to me.
 * 3) You've also completely neglected to take note of the fact that Soifon is a part of a clan, her ties to which being the basis of all her actions. For her to leave her clan would require something enormous; and even in that case her abandoning of it would be uncertain. Love, while enough for humans would most certainly not be enough for a woman like Soifon, whom has lived by her cynicism for centuries on end, to assume something else is a grave fallacy.
 * 4) Lastly, the nature of the relationship alone discredits Soifon's character thoroughly, Soifon would never put her personal interests higher than her duty, no Captain would! This is the woman who openly encourages her division members to murder their own comrades if it helps further their mission!
 * 5) All these things concidered, you have effectively made your character a Gary Stu by changing Soifon to this extent, I hope you decide to rework some of this to make it acceptable, but whatever. Njalm 19:50, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
