discussion What are you expecting visually in a female protagonist?

I was wondering as I am starting to do some developing for myself, what are you looking for in a female protagonist? Like whats the most important? Face, Figure, Realism, Skin?
Also what is something, that most devs miss out on in your opinion?

Character design is a complex craft. Most players gravitate toward characters they like through specific tags — things like body type, occupation, personality traits, and so on. What truly makes a work stand out, however, is the subsequent characterization of its cast. It’s hard to put into words. It all comes down to how deeply you develop a character concept, and how many people end up clicking with it on a personal level.

After all, some character designs blow up purely because of little details like the indentations on thighs where stockings dig into soft flesh… or even just a single cute animation gesture.

The immersion is the most important thing for me. Depending on the style, that might manifest as different visual elements because features can be exaggerated to a degree but still be immersive. The writing and word choice is the most important for me. But if you're looking for visual markers, I'd say embrace your style and be consistent!
