What does your character look like?

Because icons aren't always the most accurate, tonight's not!meme asks you to describe your character's physical appearance. Height, weight, eye and hair color, build, distinguishing marks, etc. And if they've had any physical changes since arriving in the City (i.e., new robo-arm, sporting a rad eyepatch, suddenly becoming a human) you can share that as well!

Bobbi is 5'9" tall and weighs 135lbs, according to Marvel. I'm not sure I agree with that assessment of her weight, honestly I think she probably weighs more than that considering how muscular she is. She's described as having done gymnastics in her high school and college days, and while she's certainly tall for a gymnast, she has the upper body strength of one to be sure. And the girl has fabulous legs, let's face it. You don't run around in this for years unless you have the legs for it.

Bobbi's eyes are blue and her hair is blonde. Because she was a brunette in her very earliest appearance, I like to say that she is not a natural blonde. It's just more fun that way. Naturally, her hairs is sort of dishwater colored.

Bobbi is attractive, but she's not what you would consider a "knock-out". She has a face that while pretty, could easily be forgettable. This actually comes in handy in her espionage career, and it's a jab at the long-running gag of everyday people in the Marvel world forgetting who she is. Her personality is big and bubbly and that is probably what makes her most attractive.

She has some scars that are of note. Bobbi was shot multiple times by SHIELD agents in a terrible case of friendly fire. Whoops! The incident left her with some delicious bullet wounds and some equally delightful scarring that you actually wouldn't ever notice unless you had a reason to see her naked. Heh.

Oh I guess I should maybe note that her PB is Yvonne Strahovski. I chose her because of how similar she looked to David Lopez's drawings of her.

Angelica is barely 5'2" tall and roughly 100lbs. The Marvel wiki lists something completely different, but it is wrong and I honestly have no idea where they came up with that because she's been depicted as being very petite since the beginning of time (it always makes me smile when she's like... shoulder height to other characters! Yay for short superheroes!) Anyway, she is short! Pocket sized, one could say! And from her earliest appearances, she is described as especially curvy (and self-conscious about it in her youth.) I've taken this to mean she's got an ample bosom and dem hips. She's not especially muscular or athletic, but she's in decent shape.

Her eyes are bluish green and her hair is red, more on the coppery end of the spectrum. Her hair is naturally wavy, curlier since her chemotherapy finished, and it's currently not quite shoulder length.

She has some freckles, but not a ton. Her most noticeable (or not) mark is a scar on her left breast about the size of a quarter. That is where she had her lumpectomy. You're not going to notice it unless you see her in some state of undress, however.

Angelica is looks younger than she actually is and could be mistaken for a teenager despite being in her early 20's. She could better be described as cute than beautiful, but she has more of a wholesome quality to her than anything else, really.

Susan is a bit different from her 616 counterpart. She is 5'7" as opposed to 616!Sue's 5'6" and she is about ten pounds heavier at 130lbs. She's built more like a swimsuit model than a superhero, thanks to Jessica Alba. Aw, yeah. But she's also very much into swimming, like her 616 counterpart. Lean, with toned arms and limbs and her skin is bronzed and sunkissed. And unlike 616!Sue, movie!Sue is half-Mexican and her ethnicity is… I don't want to say obvious, but she doesn't look as WASPy as the other Sue. She's darker. Her hair is naturally darker (brown instead of blonde) though she's taken to bleaching it, and her eyes are dark bluish hazel.

Also, she's kind of hot? Jessica Alba, you guys. Yes, she's Sue Storm, aka everyone's big sister and/or mom, but she's also 25 and sort of a sexified version of that. I mean, come on. She's hot.

Kate is 5'5" tall and 120lbs. She's still a teenager, and she's mostly built like one. Thin, not overly developed. Just kind of average, save for her arms. Her upper body is strong due to years of archery training, in addition to her time spent practicing fencing and other martial arts.

Her eyes are light blue and her hair is dark brown-- so dark it's almost black. It's long, down to her mid-back and it's naturally very curly. Her skin is pale, but not pasty. She has no freckles or scars to really speak of, aside from the typical skinned knees anyone gets as a kid. Kate isn't exactly a supermodel, but she would be considered pretty. I use Annie Clark as her PB. She perfectly captures how I envision Kate.

Jessica is hot. She's like… amazingly beautiful. In her canon she is described as pretty much being physically perfect. Golden blonde hair, sparkling blue green eyes the color of the Pacific, a perpetual glowing tan. She has a dimple in her left cheek, a heart shaped face and a delicately upturned nose. She is 5'6" tall and wore a size 6 in 1980's standards. From what I gather online, a size 6 in modern clothes would have been a size 10-12 in the 1980's. So it can be surmised that she is thin. But she's also a dancer, gymnast, and cheerleader and she's in very good shape and is stronger than she looks.

I use Emilie Nereng, a Norwegian blogger who is freaking adorable. She's the perfect age and appearance and she has the most expressive face. On the 90's TV series she was played by Brittany Daniel, who is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I vastly prefer Emilie Nereng as Jessica.
