Looks like a female Sherlock Holmes


Not from any film, but almost like how I imagined the detective when I read the books. The Great Detective was described as pale, dark-haired, tall, gaunt, and with aquiline features in the A Conan Doyle novels.
Charlotte would fit a gender-bent Holmes, The Britishness helps also.
And like Holmes, she is not conventionally attractive, but has her own unique elegance that allows her not to get by solely on looks.
It's not that I hope anyone makes a film about a female Sherlock Holmes (which would be a terrible idea, since there wouldn't be much of a difference) I am just mentioning a personal observation.
I might be only rambling, but has this crossed anyone else's mind?
