... is a spunky character from X-factor, a comic book part of th X-men family. I thought about her today because an artist from the CBRunway did a character that had a look very much like hers. I don't necessarily think it's a case of outright copying, but design tropes can get stuck in your head after reading tons of comics (which I, like many others, do) so sometimes you don't think your idea is unoriginal because it's so part of your visual lexicon.
