If there are gaming sites directed toward female players you might want to try there (if you haven't already).
Fantastic idea newbeing, thank you, off to google I go!

Interestingly enough, there's an image of a female marine advertised in the Gamestop preorder bonus pic above.
Indeed... I did see that and my wishful little mind started to churn, However that is Bella, from the story... if there were playable females in Multiplayer, you would think that Brian Burleson would have said so, same with Gearbox, and they would have replied to my email or to one of the message board threads stating that you can, and the worries and petition is not needed... Sadly, they have been quite mum.
I am going to quote a post I made last night in the Gearbox official forums thread:
QuoteAgain, I am all about story driven games, I can't wait to step into Cpl. Winter's boots and go on a bug hunt, but there needs to be diversity and individualism to the multiplayer/co-op. I am a female, therefore I should have a female marine that looks "somewhat" like me, that represents me, my personality in order to "Become a Colonial Marine"
Example:
slim
brunette, always hair up in a braid or ponytail, or a bun (I'm not too crazy with my hair styles, they are pretty basic, but functional haha) Whichever is easiest to have in a game and works with headwear (I'm not so much for helmets, but I have a vast hat collection!)
Green eyes (although who's really gonna be looking at my eyes while I'm shooting them?)
I guess you could say I'm short, I'm not sure, I've never stood before, but my ID says I'm 5'3, which is average, except in my family (My sister is 5'11, brothers 5'10 to 6'3, Dad 6'4, Mom 5'5)
light complection
I don't expect to be roaming LV-426 in a futuristic powerchair, so a nice set of combat boots will suffice
Armour wise:
Probably a smart gunner cap
M3 armour with some graffitti that suits me, My name stencil will read either MOOSH or KLASSEN maybe "Shoot the C***SUCKERS!" (family joke that applies to most video games), a pink rooster to signify me and my brothers *clan* "GYCH", maybe "SIC PARVIS MAGNA" and of course "Get away from her, you BITCH!"... still thinking of more
Lots of storage haha, I tend to carry alot, and I'm a virtual hoarder, or "scavenger".
Sounds like alot, but when you imagine it, you still get a very generic looking player model.
I will still shake it up a bit and play as Hicks, Hudson, Apone and maybe Drake when I'm feeling nostalgic and feel like shouting lines from the movie but other then that, I'll play as a CUSTOM female as described, or close to it! (We don't know how deep the armour customization will go, hopefully they elaborate on that alittle more soon!
Thanks for the support everyone!
