On the one hand, I honestly think that this Charlotte character’s outfit makes sense, traditionally fighters go topless, it’s to emphasize a rough, no-holds-barred style. Nintendo couldn’t make a female character of this class without upping the rating on it, and given that they’re trying to get FE to a larger audience and it’s still at the end of the day, a kid’s game, they’re not going to do that. So what the hell, give her a bikini top, I’m down with it. And I like the bow too, I like it when characters don’t follow the archetypes of their class, that’s half the reason I love Brady so much.
But on the other hand, as a fighter going topless to emphasize strength, she should be a lot more buff. Like she’s kinda sorta got abs, but that’s about it. Her arms are too skinny and her stomach too smooth for what they’re going for, and it kinda just perpetuates this weird concept that media in general has that all of a woman’s physical strength comes from and can be represented via their cup size.
Which is kinda stupid.
