Oh funny thing about Buhitter: I had completely forgotten that I had already saved in my bookmarks with Outlaw Star as the search.
But no, it's not that she's secondary, it's that, of the main cast, she is the one second to least obsessed over. Gene, Melfina and Aisha get the vast majority of art, and by default James as he's often with Gene, and that's from a franchise that's more or less obscure still. It's the struggle.
When Outlaw Star first aired in Japan, many viewers didn't like Suzuka, actually. She wasn't more, she wasn't demure, and she embodied both strength in a womtran and Japanese traditionalism. Viewers in Japan didn't want that, the wanted the genki catgirl with big breasts and the cute, vulnerable moe girl.
