What does your character look like?

Because icons aren't always the most accurate, today'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!  And if you use a PB, who are they, why did you pick them,etc.?

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 about 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 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.

Her PB is Maria Thayer, after switching back and forth for awhile. Her hair is what drew me to her. It's perfect Angie hair.

bobbi

[mocks]

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.

Her PB is Yvonne Strahovski. I chose her because of how similar she looked to David Lopez's drawings of her.

kate

[recurve]

Kate is 5'5" tall and 120lbs. She's been in the City two and a half years now, and as such she's grown from an awkward sixteen year old to a now nearly nineteen year old, a bit more elegant now thanks to having grown up some. She's still a teenager, and she's mostly built like one. Thin, not overly developed. Just kind of average in terms of her figure and body, save for her arms. Her upper body is especially strong due to years of archery training, in addition to her time spent practicing fencing and other martial arts. She's athletic more than she is thin.

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 has a natural wave to it. 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.
