I find this a very strange rant, since anime and manga (and related games) often have art shifts when a character is drawn by different artists, hell sometimes between works of the same artist. Also consider that Kancolle is a mostly fan-driven franchise that relies on fanartists to bring the characters to life... and of course, the massive variety of fanartists mean a ton of variation in design for the same character. And yet people don't seem to find a problem with that, even if the character they like in game has changed so much in the fanartist's depiction in terms of art.

As for personality vs art, it's not like it's the first time that that's happened before... see Kako's fiery and alive expression in her Kai Ni vs her sleepyhead lines that didn't really change despite said upgrade. Yet people didn't have much of a problem with that at all, since they prefer to depict her by her lines rather than by her art. Unless I'm mistaken, Shoukaku in terms of character hasn't really changed much as far as her vocal lines are concerned, so as far as characterization she's the same person so to speak, it's just that she looks different.
