That's really awesome, that Suzie is to Gwen as John Hart is to Jack - what could have been, a great foil. It's interesting that Indira Varma brought you to Torchwood, because James Marsters brought me!
I do like Suzie as a character (as a person, well, she's Machiavellian!) But at the same time, in TKKS when she's huddled there wearing a scarf to hide her gunshot wound, I feel SO sorry for her. And then she kills her dad and I think "jerk"! And then I wonder what he did to her to make her so angry and maybe make her the way she is. Was she victimized?
There is such a complex play of emotions she displays, and to make me feel sorry for someone who's mostly shown doing bad things (including murder) is the sign of a really memorable character.
