Sorry if someone here got offended, I just don't like exploitation. And Talon is pretty much a twi'lexploitation character.

From a making money perspective, you're right. But if the character actually wants that sort of attention and deliberately uses it to her advantage, is that really exploitation? Anyhow, another cool pic I found:

Agreed. And for those saying, "But she uses her looks to do..." - she's kind of being written to the audience's gaze. She could be seductive without showing all the skin, but they use the character to sell books. It's the equivalent to swords and sorcery art that features men in plate mail while the ladies where chainmail bikinis. It's not needed, and it's not all that attractive - I find it kinda trashy myself. It's an overprevalent trope.
