- Fighter- Voluptuous Vixen- Girl Next door- Villainess- Athlete - The Innocent
FighterShe has a sturdy stance, muscular arms, and large shoulders-and is somewhat defined overall.
Voluptuous VixenShe possesses a large chest, slender waist, and wide hips. Her shoulders are softer than the Fighter and her arms are thinner .
Girl Next doorThere’s nothing out of proportion on her body — no exaggerated areas that make a bold statement .
VillainessShe stands with an attitude of defiance and disdain. She’s sharp not soft, wearing a lot of black and a severe costume
AthleteShe often has the superpower of speed. She’s small but strong, with lean, defined muscles .
The InnocentSmaller than the rest. Diminutive (with a cute haircut), thin, and not overtly sexy. She’s a neat and proper dresser .
