Lemme come up with a character real quick for your thread
Hunter, Lesbian, Woman, INTJ, Snow forest, She's gr@ped by wolves, Amity from TOH, Ariana Grande, Lanky, Whiteish gray for clothes and fair skin, Triangular shapes with some circles here and there.
I bet that you can see that bitch ass character in your mind and I just came up with her.

According to the modern west,
Big chin, flat chest, and strong arms.
