i feel like you haven't really read mf's lore and judgment and gotten a grasp on who she is as a character if you're writing her off as just some woman who seduces to get her way. where are you even getting these thoughts from? where do you get whining courtesan? where do you get that she ONLY relies on her body to get what she wants?
"Her success gave her the means to legitimately purchase her own ship - with a little flirtatious haggling, of course."
how does that translate into "the only thing she relies on is her body and attractiveness" ?
how are you ignoring the story of finding her mother brutally murdered? and her vow to find the jerk that killed her and avenge her mother? that part has absolutely nothing to do with her body and the type of searing rage one would feel as a result of violence that extreme means that MF has a lot more depth to her than solely just relying on her body as you are putting it. her charms are INCLUDED in her array of skills and there isn't anything wrong at all with that - like bioluminesence said:

Just my opinion, but I pity the person who underestimates Sarah Fortune because of her looks. I've seen women who put on their clothes and makeup like a knight puts on armor and straps on a sword - making them armed and exceptionally dangerous. But there's usually a very sharp mind behind those eyes.
so, honestly OP, if you're writing off MF as just a character who's tits and ass and nothing else, the problem isn't with MF's writing. the problem is with you.
