  Damn I love this thread, it's so totally pointless. ;]
Well, alrighty then! With no more ado, let's consider:


	Sakura (from Key The Metal Idol)

LOOKS: Not bad at all. Long brown hair and a nice bod! Seems to keep in
shape, or maybe it's her 4 jobs that do that. Good looking enough to be
thought of by Tamari as a match for the idol singer Miho Utsue. Well-
endowed, in contrast to the waifish Key. 

SMARTS: She not quite Wasyuu, but she's a long ways from Mihoshi. I'd say
she has better than average intelligence. The fact that she has her own
place in Tokyo and manages to hold down four jobs should tell you
something. Plays verbal games with Tadaki which require a grasp of
friendly sarcasm and irony. Smarter than she appears at first glance. 

PERSONALITY: Very, very nice. Considerate to a fault. Friendly, outgoing.
Doesn't lock up in a crisis; may panic, but will definitly do the right
thing, even if she's hysterical for a couple of seconds. Forgiving, at
least with Key. May act impulsivly on occasion, but seems to act correctly
none the les. 

COOKING: Hard to know. Given her overall profile, she probably can cook
decently. I imagine she doesn't have time to, however. (She's not adverse
to eating pizza for breakfast, either, which in my mind is a plus.)

FIGHTING: Unknown. If Tadaki is around, she doesn't have to. Probably no
Akane Tendo, although her excellent common sense and smarts could probably
let her avoid most fights. 

SPECIAL ABILITIES: No magical or super-scientific abilities. (Or maybe she
does have some... She put out a burning TV that was still plugged in with
a bucket of water, and she's still alive.)

COMPETITION: Tadaki and Key. Tadaki would be your romantic rival. A hard
guy to compete with (to say the least) even if he does admit to being an
otaku. Key is not a romantic rival, but Sakura is pretty attached to her.
The series may be headed for love triangle with Sakura after Tadaki and
Tadaki after Key, though... 

IN-LAWS: Unknown. Surely has some, but seems to be a pretty independent
type. I doubt they'd be any problem. 

ECONOMICS: She works 3-4 jobs (probably part-time) to hold down her
apartment in Tokyo. And even then, she can sometimes struggle to make ends
meet. Don't expect any free rides; you'd be working as hard as she does. 

SEX: Normal. Of course, remember her work schedule... you're not going to
have time for a whole lot. (Which is too bad, IMO.)

OVERALL: Sakura would an excellent choice if you were marginally wealthy
and could afford to get a good residence and make a comfortable living.
Free her from a couple of those darn jobs and she would make a very good
wife.
