Sorry, not every character is a hot babe.

But seriously, Gemma Whelan is really pretty. Atypical for sure, but my god she is NOT ugly.

I agree. She’s rough hewn and hard, because that’s how Asha is. She’s a sailor and a fighter, not a sex kitten. Not to say that ‘attractive’, feminine women can’t be badasses, but that’s simple never who Asha was meant to be. She doesn’t fall into the fighting fuck toy trop and I think a lot of people struggle with that. But I think she does have a kind of rough beauty to her. I mean, damn, look at her eyes.
