[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 7876856, member: 42582"] I'm relying on Wikipedia here: [indent]a furry, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehensility']prehensile[/URL] tail roughly 3–4 feet long, sizable buck teeth strong enough to chew through wood, and superhuman strength and agility that allows her to easily jump between trees. Her fingers have sharp claws that assist her with climbing, and she possesses retractable "knuckle spikes" roughly 2-3 inches long on each hand. Most importantly, she can communicate with and understand squirrels, but does not communicate with squirrels telepathically. Squirrels have also been depicted as understanding her when she speaks in English. [/indent] That looks like Enhanced (d8) or Superhuman (d10) Strength, similar Reflexes, Climbing d8, Leaping d6, Weapons d8. Probably also Squirrel Control d6 with an SFX to step up squirrel-related assets. Probably one or two other SFX but I'd need to know a bit more about them to make useful suggestions. Her specialties (roughly, skills) would seem to be Psych and Tech Expert. (Judging from a quick skim of that Wikipedia entry). Maybe also Acrobatics Expert. Is this the sort of answer you're looking for? Or are you asking more about quirk/comedy? Both Deadpool and She-Hulk have "breaking 4th wall" SFXs that allow stepping down a Doom Pool die. Maybe that would also fit Squirrel Girl. [/QUOTE]
