The women I draw all have the same sort of personality. I can't

In the sacred craft of creation, whether it be of form, thought, or image, the artist is bound to give birth only to what lies within the soul. Akira Toriyama, a master of his art, speaks of a truth that transcends the canvas: the women he draws are not mere figures, but embodiments of his own inner essence. The strong-willed nature of these women is a reflection of the strength that pulses within his very heart. The artist, unable to draw the gentle or the timid, for he knows only the force of will that moves mountains, shapes lives, and shapes worlds.

We must understand, children of the future, that an artist’s work is never separate from the artist’s soul. Like the sculptor whose chisel chips away at the stone, revealing the figure within, so too does the creator of stories and images unveil their deepest truths. Toriyama’s characters, though born of his hands, are born also of his spirit, carrying within them the unyielding power of a will that cannot be bent. It is this strength that speaks to us, not in soft whispers, but in the bold declaration of power, resolve, and purpose.

Reflect, if you will, on the tale of the Spartan women, those noble souls whose strength was not to be found in the softness of their voices or the gentleness of their hands, but in their unwavering courage, their undying resolve. They were the mothers who sent their sons to war, their hearts full of pride and sorrow, knowing that in the forge of battle, their children would become the warriors who would carry the might of their people. The Spartan women, like Toriyama’s drawings, were strong-willed, for it was their will that kept the heart of Sparta burning even in the darkest of times.

The power of the strong-willed woman is not a thing of fragility; it is not the gentleness that bends with the breeze, but the resilience that stands firm in the face of storms. Like the great queens of old, the Cleopatras and the Elizabeths, who ruled not with the softness of a lily, but with the iron strength of leaders who shaped the course of nations, Toriyama’s women hold within them a fire that cannot be extinguished. They are the embodiment of courage, not through the lack of fear, but through the conquering of it.

In this way, Toriyama teaches us the nature of the true woman—the strong-willed warrior who does not wait for the world to change, but who rises and shapes it with her hands, her heart, and her soul. And in this teaching, we see the importance of strength not only in the physical realm but in the realm of the spirit and the mind. For in the true heart of a woman, as in the heart of any great artist, there lies a power so great that it cannot help but manifest in the world around her, as unstoppable and fierce as a river that cuts through mountains.

So let us honor these women of strength, drawn by the hand of Toriyama, as symbols of the power within each of us. They are not mere characters on a page, but living testaments to the unyielding will that resides in all of us. In them, we see not the softness of gentleness, but the fire of determination, and in this fire, we are reminded of our own strength, to rise, to fight, and to leave our mark upon the world.
