ye ye ye! i just meant she was a very assertive person, which is what you commonly see in media but the way you wrote it made it come off as less forced and unrealistic and instead... normal? simple? if that makes sense. it probably doesn't, but yeah, you just do a fantastic job.
i remember my first fem character was very motherly and stubborn, and then it quickly led to one of my later fems westcoast on ff, who was very stubborn and bossy and all around a gigantic bitch and had a hard time applying and spending time with her family because it just made her highly uncomfortable (and showed signs of postpartum depression, in a way). i mean even seafoam was originally female but i changed his design because it was part of a very poor development plot
i love "traditional" dynamics in a sense. even then females hold so much power, but people are very blind to it?? like all these powerful kings would be nothing without these queens. these women are anchors and a source of protection, the defense while a man is the offense - they're more crucial and important than people give them credit for, and because of the demand for untraditional, ridiculously "strong" females, it's become super unpopular to suggest a female who is by modern standards a normal housewife. which is ridiculous.
the reason why i love playing men is because they're perfect for aggressive character types, and again, i find them super duper friggin interesting. men are constantly pressured with the dilemma of growing into their "manhood" and essentially when you have a man charrie that's what it all leads up to: what makes them a ""man"". and bc of this they have higher rates of suicide and depression and all of this other horrible stuff that people no longer pay attention to because it's all about making the next best hyper-strong female charrie to beat up males and prove that wumman are superior when both of the sexes are on equal footing
that's just my opinion tho. goddamn i got into that, sorry for the paragraphs lol
+ i think a perfect example of good female characters is from game of thrones
