Maria is an Artificial Human that a Mad Scientist created to be his perfect girlfriend and a part of his army of evil minions.

George is seen as attractive for his lack of muscle. Inverted: Maria is very thin and this is emphasized as sexy. Maria's skin is very sculpted but it is also smooth with no muscles. Brawn Hilda Subverted: The camera pans up Maria muscular body, but when it reaches her face, it is revealed that she has a very manly face and has the voice of man. Double Subverted: ... Except this Maria is just an Imagine Spot of one her rivals. The real Maria is the full muscular package, cute face and all. Parodied: The combined weight of Maria's breasts and muscles makes her so heavy that she falls over. Zig Zagged: Whether or not Maria is muscular or not depends entirely on the artist.

Exploited: Maria gets work as a bodyguard for a sexist man who will only hire pretty women. Defied: "Yuck, I don't care. There's no way I'd want to be that muscular." Discussed: "I don't care how many comics you read. There's no way a woman could be that hot with that much muscle." Maria is muscular. Nate and Otto don't agree on whether it's attractive or not and argue with each other about it. Conversed: "Can't blame her, if I'd worked hard for a body like that, I wouldn't care what other people think and would be showing off too." Deconstructed: Maria is popular at the gym among her fellow body-builders but in other settings she is seen as ugly or intimidating. Maria was once considered by many men to be drop-dead gorgeous, but now the same men who were attracted to her in High School now see her as a Brawn Hilda. Reconstructed: Maria is aware that some people find her body type unattractive but doesn't let other people's negativity towards her body tear her down; every type has its haters. Plus, she's in a relationship with a man who believes her to be the World's Most Beautiful Woman. However, many other men still find her attractive. See "Downplayed". Maria is very strong, has a toned body, and might even have a pair of abs, but still maintains enough of her feminine physique to not turn some men off. Played For Drama: Maria develops Muscle Angst. Necessary Weasel: Maria is really muscular, so she's obviously either an Action Girl or a bodybuilder.

MEDIA EXAMPLES

Houmei from AIKI is built like a bodybuilder, and wears a very revealing dress which has high side-slits on both sides, a Cleavage Window, and an opening on the back. Akemi Kageyasu also has a very toned build, and her clothing reveals her well-defined abs. Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan is pretty enough to leave Jean literally speechless, but, man, is she ripped under that uniform. While you don't get to see much of her muscularity in the actual series, some official illustrations and a scene in one of the OVA’s have her wear a sport’s bra and shorts to show off her incredibly lean and well toned physique. And four years later, Mikasa had likely gotten even more ripped from training more intensely than before to prepare for the war against Marley; As she looks slightly bulkier compared to four years ago. Later volumes of Baccano! have Aging, a roughly seven-foot-tall woman with a physique resembling Michelangelo's David, only with breasts and 50% more muscle definition. While she intimidates the hell out of most men (it's somewhat reasonable to be afraid of a woman who uses a minigun as a one-handed firearm), the text makes it clear that the muscle makes her no less attractive. Okoi from Basilisk is a tall and powerful kunoichi with a ripped physique to match, particularly her legs. The fact that she always dresses up in a much more stripperific manner than the other girls in the series, if to better use her powers, only shows this further. She is also considered quite attractive, maybe a bit too much for her own good, but, then again, thanks to her blood-sucking ability, she can more than defend herself from any scoundrel. Casca from Berserk is quite well-toned from her career as a mercenary, and even admitted that she was embarrassed to wear a shoulder-revealing ball gown because of her muscles (of course, this did not stop love interest Guts from totally gawking at her). But unfortunately after the trauma she suffered from the Eclipse, Casca from being too mentally broken to keep up her training, loses a considerable amount of musculature and becomes quite skinny and outright frail. Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight! is an ecchi series about the Japanese adult entertainment industry, where a lot of the women also practice various martial arts or combat sports. Main character Haebara Misora trained in karate in her father's dojo from a young age, then moved into gravure modeling as an adult. She is tall, muscular, and utterly stacked. No wonder she's the Lust Object of both men and women. Exploited in the Tournament Arc: she goes onstage in various Stripperiffic outfits, and uses her superior height, strength, and mass to her advantage against her first two opponents: caught in a triangle choke by MMA fighter Airi, Misora flips the other woman over her back, knocking her senseless. Dorio in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is the robust girlfriend of The Leader Maine, with a bulky Heroic Build almost as impressive as his which she flaunts by walking around topless under her coat to show off her incredibly beefy physique. Villain of the Week Kinkakumon in Digimon Ghost Game is a Nubile Savage, Blood Knight, oni Digimon with muscular arms & thighs who takes over a popular Fighting Game, turning it into The Most Dangerous Video Game where she and her Big Little Brother Ginkakumon challenge skilled players and turn the losing humans into booze. Their antics led to rumors about a "mysterious beautiful woman" appearing in the game, attracting even more victims. Don't Meddle with My Daughter!: Athena is ripped, having clearly defined abs, biceps, and thigh muscles and has such a bangin' hot bod that she's been acknowledged In-Universe as a MILF. Ironically, it's the reason she retired from being a superheroine: because hardly anyone could take their eyes off her. And some weren't content to just look. Her daughter Clara is similarly toned, but has a more slender frame. Noi◊ from Dorohedoro is a hulking and figure two inches shy of seven feet tall and built like the proverbial brick shithouse, and easily passes for a guy in her "work outfit", a tracksuit that flattens her curves and a gruesome mask she always wears. Later on, her gender is revealed, and some characters are surprised that she's actually quite busty and has a very feminine face despite her bulk. Later on, she starts wearing more flattering clothes and there even a couple panels where she's completely topless, which of course also shows off her incredibly brawny musculature. While not as extremely brawny or bulky as Noi, Nikaido is also a very athletic and muscular beauty. With several art works and panels showing underneath her outfit her well toned yet curvy physique. but later on when she transforms into a devil her body begins to change, and bulks up tremendously, taking on a musclebound and masculine appearance with only her head remaining unchanged. Which disturbs several characters by this unnatural transformation. Eventually her face also transforms as her mask merges with her head and completes her transformation; but looks nothing like the Nikaido from before. It appears Saiyans have this coded into their genome. Specifically, the Super Saiyan "third-grade" state, already shown to significantly increase the muscle mass of the user. It also happens to noticeably expand the breasts of Caulifla, the first woman seen using it. As Vegeta calls the form "useless" for anything besides being brawny bait. Yet surprisingly enough, it seems attraction probably is its true purpose since Saiyan’s prefer strong women. Kale, the Universe 6 counterpart of another "legendary" Saiyan, is able to transform into a muscular and taller "Super Saiyan Berserk" form. She retains the "dark-skinned beauty" description from her Shonen Jump press release description, in addition to her usual midriff exposing her new form's defined abs. Her normal Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan 2 forms follow the same trend. Coincidentally, Kefla, a Saiyan potara fusion, adopts a similarly toned Olympian physique and tanner skin once she accesses her Super Saiyan form. It helps that fusion not only takes physical features from Caulifla, but also Kale. Maki Oze from Fire Force started off as a lanky girl when she first joined Tokyo’s armed forces as shown in a flashback chapter, but two years of rigorous military training resulted in Maki developing a well muscled and very athletic physique when she joins company 8, something Maki is very aware of and is actually insecure about it, despite some people seeing her as a very beautiful woman. If anything her muscles actually enhance her beauty as Hibana stated one time. But whenever someone rudely insults Maki for her physique like Arthur Boyle does frequently, they wind up getting a well deserved ass-kicking. In a few of Go Nagai's works (Iron Muscle and Mazinger Angels), there's a recurring character named Sakurako Honou (see here). Very muscular (especially in the arms and abs) and very fanservicey (up to and including a few naked shots in volume 3 of Iron Muscle). And speaking of Nagai, there's the Jun◊ of Iron Virgin Jun, who's muscular yet very feminine. Most of the characters in the series lust after her, and she frequently finds her herself nude or in erotic situations. True to the title, however, she does remain a virgin for most of the series (in the manga). Goblin Slayer: A side character within the Adventurers Guild is literally known as Amazon, who perfectly reflects her very name, since she is a towering 8 foot tall woman with an extremely beefy yet curvy physique and has a pretty face to boot. She even wears a barbarian themed battle bikini that shows off her beefy muscles while wielding her hefty battle axe in combat. It’s only a shame we don’t see her often in the overall story. Valmet from Jormungand is incredibly ripped. Which makes sense since Valmet was a former military officer who ended up slipping into the dirty business of illegal weapons dealing. Resulting in Valmet spending many years strengthening her body up through intense military grade regimen’s to possess an incredibly powerful and downright olympian physique, in order to be the best trump card of Koko’s business. At least three guys on her mercenary team find her physically attractive, though it's mainly because of her large breasts, as revealed in the Beach Episode where one of them tries to grope her breasts without incurring her wrath.note The same episode also had lingering closeups of her in a bikini, highlighting her incredibly well muscled yet curvy body. Maki Zenin from Jujutsu Kaisen was already shown to be an incredibly athletic and formidable sorcerer thanks to her heavenly restriction granting her great strength at the cost of having no cursed energy, but after Maki sustained severe burns from Jogo’s flames during the Shibuya Arc, was forced to recover from her critical injuries with Shoko’s reversed cursed energy technique. Yet Maki spent all that time not only healing, but also training rigorously, and when she reappears is shown to now be sporting a much more well muscled physique than before. With her sleeveless outfit showing off her muscular arms and well toned upper body several times. Which may have partially added further to her monstrous strength after fully awakening the superhuman strength granted by her Heavenly restriction and becoming a formidable warrior like her predecessor Toji Fushigoro. Kaname Kugatachi, AKA Freya, is the tallest, oldest and most mature female member among the younger cast. Not only she's already pretty busty and has well-toned arms and legs, but also sports a rather impressive six-pack. Mildred Lawrence, the bow-wielding member of the Hachiou Executioner Blade of Yami. She is the most muscular female in the series. Besides her archer skills and immense strength, Mildred has double pupiled eyes, an attribute that provides her extreme accuracy at aim. Despite her muscular physique, Mildred's still plenty comparable to the rest of females in terms of attractiveness, a feature highlighted by her revealing outfit and some clothing damage. Kimagure Orange Road has lead female Madoka Ayukawa: while beautiful and feminine, she's still a strong and muscular Action Girl and the actual Hero of the series. The Legend of Mother Sarah features one of the earliest representations of this trope in Japanese media, featuring a tall, athletic and imposing woman as the main character. Despite her unusual build and seldom displaying her body, many of the men she comes across in the series ogle her (like her co-prisoners in the work camps) or openly state that they find her very attractive. Ghislaine Dedorudia, aka Madam Titty Kitty from Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation walks around in a stripperific outfit showing off her rock hard muscles, six pack abs and large breasts, and when Rudeus convinces her to drop her pants he's fascinated by how hard her glutes are. Nana Shimura, the 7th user of One For All, has a noticeably beefy yet curvy body in the manga and is very beautiful. The former being a necessity given One For All needs a user with a strong body to handle wielding it. She is described by Midoriya as a "beautiful woman with a tough expression". Mirko, the No. 5 Pro Hero in Japan, is a Rabbit-themed hero that has a very well toned torso, arms and especially legs. She wears a bunny themed Leotard of Power that doesn't really leave much to the imagination and shows off her impressive physique. Unfortunately after the War arc she lost her arm and leg during her clash against Garaki’s High End Nomu’s. But thanks to some cybernetic prosthetics, she is still the robust and speedy hero everyone knows her as. Star and Stripe, the No. 1 Pro Hero in the United States, gained considerable bulk and muscle mass around her body, likely through intense and rigorous strength training, in her goal to be a hero very similar to her idol All Might who saved her family as a young girl. Her choice of a patriotic form-fitting bodysuit, awash in the colors of the American flag, as part of her Hero costume maximizes the "beauty" part. With her brawny muscles likely adding further to her combative prowess when she uses her quirk to grant herself super strength to land devastating attacks. Mizuki from One-Punch Man, who is very tall and extremely muscular (fitting for a former Olympic athlete turned B-class heroine). She definitely stands out among the rest of the heroines, but is still treated as very attractive; if not one of the most beautiful female characters in the series. Not to mention Mizuki has shown to be pretty strong when the need arises to take care of monsters using raw strength and sharply honed athleticism. Plus some bonus art of her also features her undressing, and volume 20 of the series features her and other heroines in swimsuits and revealing her incredibly lean yet curvy body. Reiko Ando from Outlaw Star has the musculature you'd expect from a woman who's won the title of the "Strongest Woman in the Universe" four times in a row. She was aiming for the fifth time which would allow her to marry Fred Luo, who's secretly trying to stop her from winning (she doesn't realize he's not interested in women). The main character, Gene, thinks she has a beautiful and feminine face but is a bit freaked out by how muscular she is. Still, despite the opinions of the former two, she did have an audience cheering for her before her match. Plus-Sized Elf: Oeda and Oga used to fully(and technically still do)fit this trope, as both even now are considered the most muscular characters among the monster women. Oga is naturally quite beefy due to being an ogre, a race known for their brawny physiques; While Oeda developed an incredibly lean and muscular body from centuries of training and harsh battles as a warrior. As attested to the plethora of scars on her body. But just like the rest of the female cast, they both succumbed to the temptations of modern cuisines and let themselves go. For Oga it was her bar hopping tendencies and Oeda’s weakness for soft served ice cream that resulted in most of their muscular stomachs melting away into pudgy potbellies. But regardless, they’re still pretty muscular despite being a bit overweight nowadays. Hitome may look almost stout at first glance, but since she’s a cyclops and apart of the titan race like Oga, she actually possesses a lot of bulky muscle mass that’s padded with some firm fat. She’s a pretty powerful boxer as a result of having such a sturdy body(despite the potbelly and chunky thighs she developed from her stay on earth), and has shown more than once in her occasional spars against Oga that she is a physical brickhouse. Nearly all the female characters in the Panty Fighter series, Queen's Blade, are scantily clad fighters and provide loads of fanservice. Some of them just happen to be muscular as well. Cattleya's appearance can be described as matronly but strong. When she's not fighting, she could be mistaken as slightly chubby due to her ginormous breasts and having a bit of a belly. In combat, however, her muscles tense and you can see that she actually has extremely muscular arms, back, and bulky thighs. Her outfit is an extremely revealing apron-like dress with no underwear. Risty is lean and muscular, and her outfit is a thong and a top that shows off most of her torso. There's also Anarista, a side character who's slightly more muscular than Risty. Her default outfit is a fishnet leotard and a loincloth. All of her outfits are equally revealing. The Valkyrie Þrúðr/Thrud in Record of Ragnarok is a muscular giant of a woman who smashes through a doorway in her first appearance (as one would expect of a daughter of Thor), before accusing Raiden of seeing her as a freak. When he embraces her and says that he's fond of big girls, she briefly looks as if she's about to cry tears of joy much to the others' surprise. Genie, the resident swordswoman of Rune Soldier Louie, is shown to be pretty built in both the arms and chest department and is quite tall. She also strides into battle with little clothing other than what appears to be a midriff-barring bikini with a loincloth and cowl worn over that. Not to mention she carries the exact same amount of bulk and muscle mass as the titular character Louie, who himself is one of the biggest characters in the series. Elle Ragu from Shadow Skill. The 59th Sevaar of Kuruda and one of the Four Fighters. She is the main heroine of the series and a master warrior in the martial art known as "Shadow Skill". Elle sports a slender though very muscular physique in both her anime and manga depictions, a feature that goes hand in hand with her courage and tomboyish attitude. This causes her to often act hastily and not so wisely. She also has a younger adopted brother, Gau Ban, whom she protects and teaches in the arts of the Kuruda fighting style. However, towards the end of the series is implied that their relationship changes from siblinghood up to a romantic affection.
