She probably won't sit around scratching her arse all day but at the same time she's no delicate little flower either. SHe's not going to be afraid of bugs or getting muddy. If she were a modern day female of average intelligence, she probably likes to go hang out with friends, maybe play a bit of soccer or basketball from time to time, watch a couple shows on TV and maybe even kick some butt on the PS2 and chat about a few things in email. Basically, all normal kinds of stuff lots of people do regardless of gender.She's not necessarily going to be any more organized, nurturing, child-loving, or flirty than anyone else as many people seem to imply about women. She may care very little for her appearance while out tramping around in the dirt and rain with the rest of the party. That would be stupid and probably the last thing anyone would think of when encountering a group of monsters. Seems a number of people end up treating their female characters as more silly or stupid than they are because they are treating her as a stereotype rather than a unique person with unique goals and interests.The most realistic female (and male for that matter) characters I've seen played are those by players not so concerned by what a *female* would do, but instead are concerned about what a *person* would do, regardless of gender, if that character had this background and that family and these hobbies and those interests, etc.</blockquote>
