- many superheroes have been done already (young justice) - may be harder to re-do b/e too much material already to draw from

- games - soul calibur is obvs bad, would be interesting to attempt to change them though


In two sequels of fighting games Soul Calibur and Tekken that take place several years after the original issue, recurring male characters were allowed to age but all female characters were kept the same age or replaced by their daughters.[34]


In their 2005 study, Dill and Thill distinguish three major stereotypical depictions of women in gaming: (1) sexualized, (2) scantily clad, and (3) a vision of beauty.[35] The study revealed that over 80% of women in video games represented one of these depictions. More than one quarter of female characters embodied all of the three stereotypical categories at once. Dill and Thill also note that another prevalent theme with which women were depicted was a combination of aggression and sex, referred to as eroticized aggression.

According to Dietz, women are often depicted in stereotypical roles that typically pertain to sexuality in which the woman focuses upon beauty/physical attractiveness.[36]


IVY [soul/cal] ---->>> long rnge so fair enough however has a solid mission to destroy people b/c soul edge, stealth/infiltration is wholly not needed and social stuff is not a part of her story at all - makes no sense tod ress like this? More practical, protective, but still with the mysterious, evil edge that she has b/sttory.


+ make practical - not necessarily have to teenagerise?


---> rebecca one piece - even just as research


----> morrigan dragon age; it's not like she's even a sexual character?


+borderlands isn't too bad with it tbh


action hero peach etc?

"Mi-na had always been surrounded by weapons, many of which she learned to use quite well, even surpassing her father with the wol-do. However, her looks led the local boys to kiss her and call her more than a striking girl, an image supported by her father who wanted her to settle down and marry a suitor, preferably Hwang Seong-gyeong, whom Han-myeong had personally wanted to adopt into the family. Facing increasing incursions from Japanese raiders, a coast guard was quickly formed and led by Yi Soon Shin, her father's childhood friend, with Mi-na desperate to join in the ranks; but she was barred from joining on account of her gender."


----- > makes sense to be more like mulan, to go for less sexualised/feminine clothes?


- look at the characters in context first; do they make sense? Eg if they use their body as a weapon then fair enough.

Rebecca - research some paintings of actual female warriors; Britomart Redeems Faire Amoret, Also Spain's history of women - that is her setting, even if the time isn't really a thing - maybve look up our legit age of pirates?
