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!

JIM is 6'1" and whatever the average weight for a guy that height would be. He's... fairly athletic, but his build doesn't necessarily reflect that. His hair is dishwater blond and his eyes are blue. He doesn't really have any distinguishing marks you can't see in his icons and tbh the only thing that's really changed since the movie is his hair is probably a little longer.

GWEN is something like 5'6" or 5'7" and p slim. Despite how Bagley and Pichelli draw her, I've never really seen her as having much in the way of curves. She's got enough to her hips that she looks okay in belly shirts, but she's not like. Hourglass figure. She probably has fairly small boobs too because she is seventeen and slim. Anyways. Her hair is a really light blonde and her eyes are blue. Despite the fact that they were originally brown and only became blue after she came back from the dead. No, I don't get it either.

Uh... distinguishing features... not all of her icons show off the fact that she has an eyebrow piercing!! Ta-da!! It's just a plain silver hoop. Other than that, there's not much that's different about her than her icons. She can do this with her face now?? Idk, idk.

CAROL is either 5'9" or 5'10", I can't remember which. Tall, basically, and muscular! She's not like hefty muscular, but she doesn't look like a gymnast, either despite her being incredibly... aerodynamic is not the word I'm looking for. She can do crazy maneuvers in the air super easily and it's been remarked on a few times in canon that no one can move through the air while flying quite like Carol can. She's also not fat, Bendis, but she's a powerhouse and she looks like it.

Her hair is kind of a darker, golden blond. Blue eyes. She's got a strong jawline and prominent cheekbones. Contrary to her icons, most of the time when she's not in costume, her hair is probably up in a ponytail or braid!! And she hangs out either in sweatpants or cargo pants or comfortable jeans a lot. She wishes military chic was actually a thing. UMM... I don't think she's got any real distinguishing marks. The Avengers/people she hangs out with in person and out of costume may have spotted the fact that she's got a scar on her left thigh? She covers it up most of the time, but if she's in the mansion or going out with people she trusts, she probably wouldn't. It's an old scar from when she was in the Air Force.

SHES 5'11"

[lyntergalactic]

IS SHE REALLY WHERE DID I GET THE NUMBERS I DID

[dreamself]

LMFAO IDK I CHECKED YESTERCDAY FOR A PICTURE

[lyntergalactic]

HUH

i vaguely remembered her as being taller than peter but i can never remember how tall anyone is so /SHRUG

also a picture you say

[incywincyhero]

Yeah, if she's 5'11" she's got an inch on him!

[lyntergalactic]

i wonder if that's ever awkward for them as even slight height differences usually go the other way...

[incywincyhero]

Hmm, idk. I mean, MJ is canonically 5'8" (which makes sense for her both as a professional model and as how she's drawn) which means that she's taller than Peter in heels! So depending on Carol's footwear, I guess.

[lyntergalactic]

GYMSHOES AND COMBAT STURDY BOOTS ALL THE WAY. heels are nigh impossible to fight in so she hardly ever wears them. same thing with tight skirts and pants.

[incywincyhero]

So yeah, Peter at least would be familiar with it! Don't know about Carol, though.

[bests]

probably not. even with canon implying that she had... relations... with logan that i ignore for the most part that's a bit different than just having to lean down ever so slightly.

[dreamself]

LMFAO DNOT WORRY ABOUT IT

[lyntergalactic]

O...KAY...
