Why Lady Pandaren Should Be Fat & Sassy

We haven't seen a female pandaren model yet, and we likely won't see one until a month or so before Mists of Pandaria is released, so we have plenty of time to beg Blizzard for some round and curvy lady pandas.

Now, there isn't much out there in the way of official female pandaren concept art, except for this single piece by the creator of Pandaren, Samewise Didier.

As you can see, the lovely lady we have here is thin, and she doesn't look very sassy. She maintains the black and white coloring of her Giant Panda origins, but that's where the similarity ends. Instead, her head and body shape are more akin to the Red Panda. Red pandas are adorable, but do we really need another worgen female wannabe in World of Warcraft? Here are the reasons why I think Blizzard should go another direction.
1. We need more stocky characters (male and female). 

I see tall and skinny everywhere and I'm sick of it! There are many definitions of beauty; and we've already explored the tall and skinny definition quite thoroughly. Pandaren will be WoW's first and only round race, and it would be a pity if only male characters portrayed that characteristic.

2. Bouncy, the pandaren racial that reduces falling damage, does not make sense if you're actually a waifishly thin panda lady. Maybe you can force the idea that they weigh so little that they just float softly to the ground, therefore reducing their fall damage, but I won't like it.

Or maybe she'll use that magnificent tail to slow her fall and avoid damage.

3. Pandaren get both a bonus to cooking and a multiplier to food buffs as racials, but how can you appreciate food with a skinny figure like that? Are the girls limited to a diet of only bamboo, just like real pandas? Do they simply appreciate food by licking a hamburger and saying "why, that was nice," passing the rest to their brother, and finishing off the celery on their plates? They could also have unusually high metabolisms and are able to eat anything they want without gaining a pound. If that's the case, their boyfriends must be jealous.

4. Worgen females already cover the foxish silhouette. If lady pandaren were modeled after red pandas, they might look too similar to female worgen, which is bad for both the common people's aesthetics and for artistic game design.

...pointy ears and a narrow snout. The big difference being the snout length.

Do you really want this but with a shorter snout?

5. Blizzard has already proved they cannot do animalistic + sexy. They cleverly dodged the problem by creating the lady taurens as thick-set and muscular, and they avoided making females of every other animalistic race except for worgen (and don't make me refer to female worgen again). Go the route of the tauren and give us a curvy and/or rotund beauty!

6. Sexual dimorphism in World of Warcraft is already ridiculous enough.

Male and female draenei look like they were separated a millenium ago and followed completely different paths of evolution. (This would obviously be impossible, if males and females were separated, but you get my point.) Worgen males and females were an experiment in how far you can take the idea that wolves are either ferocious or insane, depending on their sex. Somehow, having female parts gave orcs and trolls the strength to maintain excellent posture, while their male counterparts are stuck in a painful and unhealthy position for their entire lives. Pandaren have a chance to make sense biologically, please don't ruin it!
