Soft Gamines are mainly Gamines. They are a combination of YANG and YIN with extra YIN. They usually have contrasting features, they can be the smallest from the 13 body types. However, you don’t necessarily have to be petite, you just have to look petite. Still, with soft body flesh and a declicate bone structure you can be a Soft Gamine even if you look a bit taller.
Soft Gamine Men tend to also have bige eyes, other delicate facial features and their faces instead of looking triangular or very rounded as a Soft Gamine woman, can be squarish too.
When gaining weight, a Soft Gamine collects it in the bust and hips. Their arms and tights also get fleshier. The face also gains weight. The same happens with men.
