Rules

How to nominate?

 * To nominate a character, a user must include their name, picture, and series in their post.
 * All characters must either originate from /co/ media: Western animation and comics (including webcomics), or have a substantial amount of /co/-related material.
 * Each valid nomination must garner at least eight (8) replies in order to qualify for the contest. These replies are only counted if they are all within a single thread, and do NOT carry over to other threads.

Eligible Nominees

 * All female /co/ characters (except those listed under "Excluded characters" shown below)
 * Any character that was allowed or has appeared in past Ms. /co/ tournaments
 * Any character that has plenty of /co/ material besides the series' original media (e.g. Godzilla, Star Wars: The Clone Wars)
 * Puppets (e.g. Muppets, Sesame Street)
 * Characters can be any age
 * Generalization Statute: Multiple versions of the same character --- be it from various adaptations, spin-off series, or alternative universes --- are combined into a single entrant. In other words, you are voting for the entire history of that character, not just one particular iteration.
 * Example:   Zatanna (DC Comics, Young Justice, DC Super Hero Girls, etc.)
 * Character Limit: Each series can only have a maximum of three (3) girls in the main bracket. These are decided by their votes in the qualifying poll. However, there is no restriction on the number of girls that can be nominated from a single series.
 * Exceptions: Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Disney core universe characters + related series (Mickey, Oswald, Goofy, Donald and DuckTales, etc.)

Restrictions

 * Any character that is clearly not /co/ is not allowed (e.g. /a/nime and live action shows)
 * /v/ideo game characters that did not originate from /co/ media are not allowed
 * Real-life politicians that are portrayed as cartoon characters / caricatures are not allowed, satirical or otherwise. Clone High characters are exempt from this rule.
 * No /mlp/ characters
 * No Board-tans
 * No "OC donut steels"
 * No meme creations
 * One-Month Old Clause: Any character debuting from August 1, 2021 and later are ineligible.
