A meditation on my favorite dimensionally transcendent blue lady! I adore the TARDIS, and I very much like what you've written. While I do have the odd Doctor/* ship that doesn't officially include the TARDIS, in my head She is always part of the equation, and I believe the Doctor's relationship with Her and Hers with him, shaped them both. I also like the idea that She relates differently to each Companion.
She called them "strays" when she spoke to the Doctor, but I imagine there were some she gathered to her bosom quite quickly (my personal head!canon includes Ace, Sarah Jane, Jo, Rose, Donna, Jack, and River in that category, but everyone's probably got their own list.)
I like the fact that you note the relationship is strong and not necessarily what we humans might think of as healthy. Still, the TARDIS' reaction to losing her Thief might be perfectly healthy within the realm of TARDIS relationships; one can never tell with non-humans, can one?
