There are adventurous girls, magical girls, female villains, fighter girls, and big sisters. Among the figures cited are the Wicked Witch of the West, Princess Leia, Matilda, and Pai Chan.

Visual elements also include black and white cartoon illustrations of the characters mentioned throughout the zine. The cover is a group of four female cartoon characters in various outfits posing together.
