Talk:Ordinary Woman

She is clearly a furry shark not a fox
The whole day its been bugging me that she is being called "fox like" when clearly the author used the standard furry template for shark characters (furries call them Land Sharks sometimes) just that she is tail-less, fin-less and gill-less which is not rare. Female sharks are larger than males in most species, this fact bled into the standard template and as a result several artists depict shark girls as very tall, clearly something that was retained by the author.

You can image google "furry shark girl" to confirm or better yet just search "shark girl" in a gallery site like Deviant Art (rule 34 warning, proceed at your own discretion).

Is there any instance of the Author calling her a fox? I want to confirm before changing the article.

 * If she's supposed to be a shark, Horikoshi would have made it more obvious. Every mutant in the series (and some non-mutants) have their animal traits be obvious. Mirko's a rabbit, Gang Orca's a killer whale, Tokoyami is a bird, Hawks is also a bird, Spinner is a lizard. She is not a shark, or whatever this "furry shark girl" thing is like you're trying to claim. She is a blue fox, not a shark. This wiki is for facts, not your fetish.

 * First off, your personal opinion on fetishes has no place here, for all we know Horikoshi is a furry because precisely sharks with ears make no sense to anyone but furries because that's just exactly how sharks are drawn by every furry. Second, if he has not stated she is not a fox then its clear he based the design on a shark from the furry fandom. What requires confirmation is weather e knew or not. Also... Honestly, why would she be a shark-coloured fox? Why she has no nails? Why is she so tall? none of those characteristics are fox-like at all. You can even google "my hero academia shark girl" and the first results you get are Ordinary Woman. I have no idea how if she is according to this site a "fox", yet top first results are this very article here in this wiki. SGP BW (talk) 02:45, 11 March 2023 (UTC)


 * If she were meant to be a shark, she would have fins, no fur, and no ears. She has mostly canine features. The only shark-related attributes she has are her color, which itself is a bit of a stretch, and her snout. That’s it. She’s very obviously some kind of canine. Horikoshi is not part of the “furry fandom”, he just likes to draw people with animalistic features. Her extra features like her height are owed to Horikoshi’s style of drawing. Hawks may not have a beak and feathers all over his body, but he’s still a bird. The facts are, Ordinary Woman is not a shark, but a fox, or some kind of other canine.


 * Could we put it down as 'animal quirk'? Because it's not very clear what she is, but it's not a fox (those ears are almost more horse-like), and barring some specific reference it seems weird to say she's X type of animal without a statement given the unusual features.ZeroSD (talk) 02:36, 4 May 2023 (UTC)


 * If she were in fact inspired by furries' depictions of anthro sharks, which, considering she is meant to be cute would not be a far-fetched assumption as the way furries draw them is considerably more cute than a more realistic shark depiction would be, then her having no fins is not strange at all. That being said, whilst she does simply look a lot like a furry's depiction of an anthro shark, and while I do not believe we can say with certainty that Horikoshi does not have any interest at all in furry characters (no need for him to be a furry in order to have an appreciation for how they draw certain kinds of characters), she in any case does not look anything like a fox. Unless she gets referred to as a fox at any point, writing her down as such simply seems ridiculous. There isn't a single part of her design outside of perhaps the sharp snout (which does not have a fox's nose, something Nezu for example does have, if we really want to talk about the animal characters and what animals they are based on being obvious) that looks like a fox, and even that is again more akin to furry depictions of sharks. Her ears aren't fox like. Her colour is far from fox like. Her height is not fox like. She does not have a tail, an attribute of foxes that they are known for. As for fur, does she have any? Because to me it looks like she has smooth blue skin with blonde hair. This would again be more in line with other characters as well, as little to no characters whose quirks give them fur all over their body also have hair of a different colour. I do not believe there is any genuine reason to claim her quirk is fox-like in the slightest, and claiming that without really any evidence supporting it just seems ridiculous.

 * This has been discussed. The OW resembles a fox, or at the very least a canine of some sort. Those are definitely the most accurate descriptions, definitely more accurate than a "furry shark", which isn't even a real creature. Not to mention, sharks don't have fur or ears poking out of their head. Labelling her as that would just be confusing, especially to those unfamiliar with the concepts you're discussing. So we'll be going with the most logical resemblance, that of a fox. AnSon828511 (talk) 22,25, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
