Lore team, please update Miss Fortune's story as well

Because I hate the fact that such heroic character with such a great VO seduces or even sells her body to sailors in order to have a team. She's sounds and acts like a rare type of cocky and bold female characters (Actually I can't remember any except Vi ) and the fact that the only thing she relies on is her body and attractiveness is killing me. I mean, why would she even sound like a heroic girl then, instead of a whining courtesan that she's being described in her story? And before anybody yells about "feminazi" - I'm a guy. **I mean it. This is the only time when I actually ask for a retcon, be it made of 3-4 sentences or not. Because this is absolutely ridiculous. **

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.

I believe Jaredan is hoping to get some more of the biographic stories out for several of the champs, and is doing a test of the (seriously!) long awaited system to publish them next week (that test will involve some of the stories we've already seen for Shurima champs, but a test is a test!) I'd guess that the one for Sarah won't be N-hundred words of her batting her eyelashes and giggling at boys :)

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Joseph Joestar, being an incredibly muscular guy, is willing to dress up as a woman in an attempt to seduce the guards and slip into a Nazi base (that's not mention the amount of men in suggestive poses/outfit/position this series have, still among the most well received show to be ever created). Well obviously he failed plan A by default but you get the point why I brought this up.

Because one is willing to sexualise him/herself doesn't necessarily mean he/she loses any self value, really some people need to get over the great gender debate.

So:

'No bounty was too difficult or too dangerous for her feminine charm and her renowned use of her twin pistols, "Shock and Awe". Her success gave her the means to legitimately purchase her own ship - with a little flirtatious haggling, of course'

...reads as selling her body in your book and makes her a 'whining courtesan'?

I don't disagree that her sexual nature is perhaps too big a focus, particularly in her VO, but I'm not sure why we're jumping from that sort of discussion to saying that she can't be a hero or denigrating her character for acting that way.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Miss Fortune knowing that she's a really attractive woman and abusing that, I mean, realistically that would be wrong but It's awesome lore and gives her more unique personality. Sure Caitlyn, Ashe or whoever is beautiful, but they don't use their looks like Miss Fortune does.

My main issue is that they don't really give a lot on how she became so powerful. They basically said she's good with guns, but is she like the best gunslinger in Bilgewater or something? I want a more in-depth look on how strong she really is in combat. Is she really agile? Does she have godly aim? Did her parents or a friend train her in gun-shooting and combat?

Overall I really like Miss Fortune, she can seem like an innocent, harmless woman but obviously she isn't called one of Valoran's greatest Bounty Hunters for no reason and isn't afraid to draw some blood.

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:

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.

You should read her old league judgement. Lots of bold female characterization there.

This gender idiocity is getting riddiculous. Yes, mf is using her feminine charms and they help her, but she also has other qualities. She is cunning, brave, adventurous. Just because she uses the tools that nature gave her doesnt make her lesser of a character.

Also, VI and MF are the only bold female characters in this game? Jesus christ......

Alright.

By your standarts all of these champions are not brave and objectified female characters, right?

Wrong. These are strong, brave female characters which are not that rare (Only rare to white knights for feminaziz which cant google anything and worship sarkeezian).

EDIT: Instead of downvoting me out of spite tell me where i am wrong.

Overall I see MF as the kind of character who would flirt with a guy to take advantage of him,even when she has no intention of having sex with him,simply because she doesn't need to go that far and because she can kick his ass if he goes too far.

"Miss Fortune is a bold bounty hunter that hunts pirates. She utilizes her wit, charm, seduction and guns to get her way when hunting for her mark. She has a massive grudge with the pirate king Gangplank."

There you go. That would basically be how the new bio looks in its entirety if "updated", no exaggeration.
