I'll second this. Rangiku has been one of the more interesting and consistent lieutenants in the story. She's cheerful, intelligent, innovative, never fails to help or follow her duty (when its important), and isn't a pushover (though I wouldn't call her a heavyweight).

Yeah, its easy to be distracted by her fanservice, but she is definitely more then that.
