As for Totally Spies - I never could get into the show xD I TRIED and all I saw were three girls that seemed to be the same on the inside, but different on the outside. That's all I gathered besides my not-too-fond-of-it before stepping away and finding something else to watch. For me, unless the character was defined as being from somewhere, I left them as "human" (not that those FROM somewhere - defined - weren't Human *sweatdrop*) and didn't really put much thought into anything further of it. I always felt their personality was what mattered more to me. So I dare say, that's interesting. I wonder how many cartoons actually put emphasis into defining where their character is from vs just making them look "pretty" or "ugly" or "dangerous" (etc).
And to what Wiki points out? Very interesting. While it's clearly racial discrimination, I never put it into those words/thoughts before. In a sense, the way you worded the following paragraph makes me think that Esmeralda is more of a "forbidden fruit" to Frollo. Which I suppose makes sense, considering he heavily uses religion to back himself up...
And oh yesh, Esmeralda has TONS of guts. She's also not one to just go "you're my hero~" without thinking first. And that quote? One of my favourites. Another are the lyrics from the song she sings ^^;
You remind me of the points onto WHY I love the movie. The main reasons I love the movie is HER. Her words. Her actions. Her behavior. Her reminder of what a monster is and isn't - and justice.
And, honestly? XD I think that every single person probably has at least ONE stereotype that can be slapped on them. So, the stereotype she has vs her AWESOMEness? Dude, no contest. Aka, I dare agree with you~ Agree like whoa.
