16	Fire is often used to represent lust, sex, and [[HotBlooded passion]]. In fiction, this will be expressed by having characters with [[ElementalMotifs fire themes]] or [[PlayingWithFire abilities]] being far more in touch with their sexuality than just about anyone else or be explicitly designed for {{Fanservice}}. This trope is most commonly used with women, but male characters can qualify as well. As fire is often seen as a [[FireIsMasculine masculine element]], a fiery sensual female can be seen as possessing stereotypical masculine traits (a high sex drive) mixed with more overt feminine ones. However, some examples may also have features besides sexuality and may be TheLadette or a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak.

18	Compare WaterIsWomanly. Contrast AnIcePerson and IceQueen, which often go hand in hand with one another. SisterTrope to FlamesOfLove, which is about a setting where loving takes place, not the people who do it. See FiremenAreHot for another trope associating fire and sex.

She has one of the more risque designs of the henchmaniacs as she looks look like she's only wearing a pink cape, white tights, white disconnected sleeves, and pink stiletto pumps.
