2. First, go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdQuUp2Sktc You now understand her character. If you need more at all, go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouge_the_Bat Also, I would advise on not digging too deep, because Sonic fans are weird. And often not in a good way. *shudder*
1. A "pin-up," as I understand it, originated as just that--a little picture, lithograph, whatever, that you would pin up somewhere. Duh. It's technically defined by this, and by usually only having a person (or...you know, anthropomorphic duck) as its subject. Bare minimums in terms of back-ground. HOWEVER, pin-ups also tend to have the connotation of being... well, scantily-clad women, to be honest. In fact, it was only when some artist was talking about "Wolverine pin-ups" (and other similar context hints from other artists) that I realized that pin-ups didn't have to be grodilated.
Also however, however: I have been drawing so many slightly unclad people-things that it's almost embarrassing. I'm a pretty modest person as a rule, so it's kind of hard to do, even though my artist-side is all like Wheee, the figure sort of.
In essence, I am trying to laugh at something that makes me slightly uncomfortable. And myself because it makes me uncomfortable. And stuff.

This is what wikipedia says about pin-ups: they're usually skanky, BUT "In comic books, a pin-up is simply a full-page piece of artwork, most often without dialogue, that showcases a character, group of characters, or significant event, published within an issue, rather than made available by itself as a poster.
In professionally published fan magazines for films and television series, a posed photograph of actors or actresses from the subject matter, but which might also showcase specific scenes from the subject matter in photograph form (called stills) are occasionally called pin-ups. The label is very casual, though, as these types of fan media are more accurately described as posters."
Whaaaaat?
