Chubby gals have always looked cute in my opinion--hard to explain.

But aside from that, my example was for a strong, interesting female character that was not traditionally beautiful or physically exaggerated.

I dunno, back before the whole Alpha Lantern thing Boodikka had a sizable fan following.

She was a heck of a lot like a female Lobo.

They even got it on once.

I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.

So no role in a live action version for Michelle Rodriguez.
