Spock is not a full-blooded Vulcan, either, and his life constituted an ongoing struggle to find an identity for himself between seemingly polar extremes (humans embrace emotion, Vulcans do not). He's a rightfully beloved character. Check out some of Nimoy's work if you have the time.
Sad to see Nimoy go, but I can't say TOS cast deaths are altogether unexpected at this point. I guess statistically, Nichols is likely to be the last one standing.
I will bawl like a baby when Takei goes. I hope that doesn't happen for awhile.
