Strengths: Highly intelligent, mature, well organized, well-read, savvy, common sense, modest, helpful, subtle sense of humour, surprising amount of physical as well as mental strength.
Weaknesses: Often looked down upon (for her body), underappreciated, is easily frustrated, not ambitious (or confident) enough to rise above her station and grab a job that matches her smarts and competence, "I'm surrounded by idiots" syndrome.
Powers/Abilities: Organizational skills, giving good advice and information, self-defense and fighting skills.
Will: Moderate to strong.
Home/Place of Origin: The city of Townsville, USA.
Occupation: Mayor's secretary and assistant.
Social Standing: Low-key extrovert.
Ethnicity: Caucasian.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.
Other Trivia: Fact: she is the smartest person in Townsville. Her face is never shown as part of a running gag (except for once, very briefly, in the episode, "The Powerpuff Girls Rule!!!"). But while her conventionally attractive body is all we see of her, her voice and demonstration of her sophistication and high education on many occasions more than prove she is not just "a pretty face". She has helped, and even rescued, the Powerpuff Girls a lot of times - showing that superpowers and physical strength are not actually what make a female character a heroine. Especially a heroine to look up to and emulate. She subtly teaches young girls (including the Powerpuff Girls themselves in-universe) that brains are what make a woman truly inspiring. She clearly knows she's beautiful, and uses this knowledge however she deems it fit for any kind of situation, If only she'd put the dumbest person in Townsville, the Mayor, in his place once and for all; and take his job that she obviously deserves and is more than qualified for. In the 2016 The Powerpuff Girls reboot, she is written out of the show on her first appearance, under a misguided and misunderstood assumption that she is a bad role model for girls because of her body. Through her personality alone, she has always defied slut-shaming. Never shame a woman for any kind of body she has, kids.
