And, which is is kinda weird, I don't know if it's do popular in english zone too - unpracticaly long hair. Hips, knee lenght... And never braided or styled in any practical way. Like... HOW? It's impossible to live that life, gurl.
The answer is obvious:
Cantr is full of anime characters.
(How do those kunoichi on Naruto fight or do anything with their hair as long as it is
and down. Asdfghjkl Kishimoto! At least Sakura realized her hair was a burden and cut it short so it wasn't anymore.)
As for me I tend not to describe my female characters that way unless it's unusual or I really don't want other people superimposing.
One of my character was described as small-breasted. Or maybe that was her hair length. I forget at this point. #sleeper
Chee may or may not have had a sizable chest, I don't remember very well. I remember imagining her that way. But she was also supposed to be the stereotypical attractive blonde ditz. (I abandoned the "ditz" pretty quickly because I couldn't stand it lol. She was one of my first two ever. Get over it.) She only ever had one love interest I think.
Stella was flat and had a barrel chest. This was a skeletal deformity (she was a dwarf, based on my dachshund, who to my knowledge does not have a skeletal deformity, but anyway). I have art of her that depicted her with breasts. Thanks for the art, I appreciate it, but she doesn't have those. lol (I gave up and drew her with them sort of, mostly because I stopped drawing 2D people with no shape to them in fourth grade and I don't remember how to go back to that; also why I don't draw men ever).
Oh here's one! I had one who was skeletally thin. Like literally, she was a walking skinbag of bones, not an ounce of muscle or fat on her. You know what makes up most breast tissue? Fat. So I thought that anyone who bothered would come to the logical conclusion that she too was relatively flat-chested. Not so. And then she ended up in explicit sexual relations lol. I didn't have the heart to remind the other person that they were doin' it with a skeleton.
(I still have those turn reports in my email. I cringe every time I think about them. Fortunately they are the only ones.)I have a female friend who is writing a self-insert fanfic but she's transplanted into a 9 or 10yo girl who hasn't developed yet, and there's a line about how she had been proud of her chest and was a bit sad to be flat again. And I had to cringe, especially in light of that HuffPo article shared on the last page, but. XD
