(Also would that actually that happen?)

(I'm assuming it would, by the time we meet her she's so underweight she isn't getting her monthly cycle so she must be very skinny. However in ACOFAS, Nesta is underweight because of her PTSD and a character goes out of his way to describe how she's super skinny, but still has big boobs and a big butt, so….yeah….)

Consistency???

Consistency? We don't know her.

They are. Different series, but still the basic laws of bio should apply.
I can go more into my issues with these books in our PM

@Kinarymo

I kinda liked that story, it was pretty nice (i was never interested in the MC as much as i was into the plot, so i never noticed the tropes and flaws)

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

Oof where to begin…..

Well, I'd like to see more female characters be, the following.

Big eaters
Gruff Personality
Gentle Giant
Condescending
Crude and or dark humour
The funny one ( This one in particular! Its always the guy that's the joker)

In terms of female characters as a whole, I would LOVE to see some more Diverse female characters in terms of nationality. I can not tell you how many books I read that have your stereotypical white girl who's awkward but at the same time pretty. I mean it depends on what world your creating, but like were's the gentle African Girls or the Strong and muscular Asian chicks.

And one more thing, especially if your main character is a dude

DON'T MAKE YOUR FEMALE CHARACTER'S EXISTENCE PURELY ON ROMANCE!!!

Thank you 。^‿^。

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

I have something I would love to add to this topic! although this one isn't so much about seeing more of a certain type of chick..

Number 1.
I low key HATE IT when a Male hero refugees to fight the Female villain for her gender! (Or at least say's something prior to a fight like, "I don't fight girls" or "I wont hit a lady"). Like Bruh, she gonna kill you in 0.2 seconds flat if you don't, pick up your weapon and fight. Battle, regardless of what gender she is. ヽ(ಠ_ಠ)ノ

Personally, I love it when a diminutive and shy, Male hero doesn't have any qualms with having a Female arch rival. Nothing remotely sexual, just pure hatred for one another, which I think, makes it more satisfying when he wins, particularly if she's bitchy and has destroyed his life up to this point.

It can go like:

Girl: "Why don't you come over here and show me what your made of, you nobody. You goddamn failure in life!"

Side-Kicks girl in the stomach

Boy: "HA! that's what you get for talking S*it about me behind everyone back! YA Biatch!"

Number 2:
Can we just address when a female hero will go up against a male villain, and then after taking him down, will say something like "Girl's can fight too y'know".

RAGE INCREASED(┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻

Honey. No one is thinking about the fact your a girl. No one cares!!!! When a character does something like this, I just loose all respect for them immediately.

Number 3:
This is sorta going off Number 2 and 1, but I also just don't like it when, in fight scenes, Male characters will go up against males, and Female's on Females. ITS A BATTLE! NOTHING HAS TO BE GENDER SEGREGATED!

Number 4:……. Last one I promise……
Why is it that all girl characters, learn their fighting skills from their brothers, or some other male figure. I just want to one time, hear one chick say something like…

Tough Girl: "Yeah I know how to fight. I got three brothers"

Random Character: "Really?"

Tough Girl: "Yeah, Billy is the Chess captain at school, Steve is majoring in Robotics with his boyfriend, and Jonah is practising Ballet. So I took the liberty of training myself to fight, so I could fight their bullies when they would get beat up." <—– Where is THAT CHICK?

Sorry if this was all rambling. Hope you liked this post and comment if you agree or disagree!

Well it kind of depends. Women are weaker than men statistically, so it's more biology than sexism when a guy says "I won't fight girls" etc. But if there is to be a badass warrior woman, she should be bulky with muscles, not the sexy one who has absolutely no body fat and all of that crap.

@SpaceCadet_Bongo

@The-Althalosian Ikr XD. And what is it with female armour anyway? Like, you mean to tell me that a man will go into battle wearing awesome, full plated armour, but a woman has to wear a goddamn bikini? WHY!?! how the hell do you come out of battle's without a scar on your body. I know to that question, writers or story creators will say something like "Oh, but she's so well trained, she can't get hit." WELL SHE MUST BE PRETTY FU*KEN AMAZING IF SHE CAN CHARGE HEAD ON INTO A BATTLE AND COME OUT WITHOUT A SINGLE STABWOUND! Well trained or not, realistically she should have some sort of damage on her.

This thing right here is pure gold ^
I swear i hate every single darn moment i see a girl on the battle field in what could be called "a glorified bathing suit". THAT IS NOT HOW ARMOR WORKS. It's mostly fanservice BS but i'll be damned if it doesn't trigger me. And even if she was good enough to get out of a fight without a wound, what about weather? Dont tell me she's so cool she cant feel the cold or heat. At least wear some normal clothing if you're so good you dont need armor.

@HighPockets group

My lady knight does have ridiculous armor, but it's ridiculous because it's gold (so not very strong). It's full body though, and she and her gf work in remaking strong armor and painting it gold so it works better.

@HighPockets group

Because the tyrannical queen forces her to because she knows that the character is a threat to her and wants her killed/improperly prepared in case of a fight.

@GardennGodess group

sweet ditsy idiots who always win fights cuz its a fluke. like, when a female character is fighting and its supposed to be a super important one and like,,, she's just so stupid. and your just screaming what the hell shes doing and she manages to win???? because like a rock fell from a super high cliff and hit the antagonist in the head or something close to how peridot won the fight with jasper from steven universe lmfao

@Kie group

Female characters who act like badasses and ARE badasses who don't need some guy to save them. Female characters who are TALLER than the males, not a foot shorter.

Female characters who DON'T have to feud with every other female character because they're ALL after the same dude.

Female characters who DON'T fall in love with their savior, but instead loathe them for their cocky behavior.

Female characters who AREN'T gay just because of their masculine appearance.

@HighPockets group

Yeet I have a lot of tall girls.
In one story, all of the girls except one are the same height or very close to the same height (a few inches either way) of their love interests. Just because the fae tend to be tall.
