• I feel your idea is a bit of, when the hero resurrects she comes out as a 2 m gigantic woman sculpted like an amazon no tiny woman as after the years she I guess she probably accepts herself as warrior and women

    Although I guess that will depend on the person maybe she really hated fighting

      I’m a sucker for characters where what they look like is entirely opposite of what they do. Giant bear men being squishy/cuddly support mages, a girl who’s all of 5’ -3" effortlessly swinging around a sword bigger than she is, that kind of thing. I like characters that embody the contradiction between my smol bean enby heart and my large bear frame.

      So the way this character went in my head was she hated fighting but did so out of a sense of duty that she leaned into in order to quiet the voices in her head telling her something was wrong inside. Then in the years after death the stories of her got exaggerated until when they called on her to save the world again they were expecting someone twice the size that she even was when she was alive. But that’s again entirely because I love the idea of them expecting this 2m+ behemoth of a man, getting what looks like a waifish little princess, but still having the strength that caused her image in legend over the years to warp into that behemoth.

      Edit: my phone keyboard apparently added trap between 2m and behemoth and I didn’t notice it. I also added a bit about my own identity that goes into why I love these characters.
