I have short hair, normally, however I do own a set a extensions that look very natural on me. Right now I have bangs cut in, but they can be grown ut and pushed to the side if need be. Also, my hair is black and/or brown 99% of the time...so characters with those hair colors are preferred, although I have no problem wearing a wig.
Here are some of my 'short hair' pics:

Here are the few extension pics I have...keep in mind that these pics were taken before my set was completed, so the back is much fuller and natural looking (less scene-kid like):

I am short, about 5'2" and have a very curvy body...here is a few pics of my body type just for a little more inspiration:

Okay, now I know that's a lot of pictures...but I have many different looks and want you all to be inspired by more than one picture of me. The only thing to keep in mind when coming up with characters for me is that I HATE SHOWING MY STOMACH! It jiggles when I walk and I know some people just don't want to see that.

P.S. Don't worry about what anime/video games I like, if the character is one I don't know but looks interesting, I'll check it out. I am trying to be open for ideas.
