... but isn't she described as more chubby through the series because she's pregnant? That's not really the same thing as the author deliberately creating a fuller-figured character, surely.

Yeah, I thought the "groveling" and the reconciliation was a let down, too.

Well, I recall a scene in which Alexia mentally revises her "swan dive" as less swan and more "beached-sea-mammal," and that ought to have been when she wasn't showing her pregnancy yet. (But come to think of it, I think the author may have gotten confused as to how far along Alexia was supposed to be, what with various little comments about feeling the baby react to something.)

Lord Maccon also has expressed some preferences towards a woman having meat on her bones rather than being a waif... though some of that might be some actual muscle rather than fat, based on some comment of Alexia's. Alexia is also described as a big eater (but also a taker of walks for exercise, not that we ever see her do so). Her female relations liked to scold her for not watching her figure, but I don't think we're supposed to believe their opinions on anything. So *shrug*.

Personally, I picture her as being just slightly overweight with a physique that centers her weight in her breasts and hips. So not a size 0 model, but not, as someone else put it, a Victorian size 16, and not, as you say, a deliberately full-figured character.
