If you think that comment you left was "condescending", I hope you'll excuse me while I have a nice, long chuckle. The very least you could have done was use proper English!
My girlfriend reminds me of Meryl from "Trigun". Short, bossy, easy-to-temper, but there's a good heart somewhere down there!

My wife remind me of Isis. Not in features, yet in her personality.
================================================
Isis
Isis was a made for TV character who shared air time with Shazam, or Captain Marvel as he is better known.
The Isis segments featured high school teacher Andrea Thomas, who discovered an ancient Egyptian amulet while on an archaeological expedition. Through the amulet, Andrea was given super strength, super speed, the power of flight, and a form of telekinesis. Like Billy Batson before her, Andrea literally transformed into a new superhero, the inimitable Isis. Also like her male counterpart, the heroine received her powers from an ancient legendary source, the Egyptian goddess Isis, by intoning the magic words, "Oh mighty Isis!"
Andrea used these newfound powers to right wrongs and defend the helpless and downtrodden. Joining her on the show were pet crow Tut, fellow teacher Rick Mason, and students Renee Carroll and Cindy Lee. Somehow, the other humans never managed to figure out her secret identity.
After two seasons together, the heroes parted ways. Isis continued to fight evil under the new title 'The Secrets of Isis' from 1977-78. Both heroes later returned to Saturday morning in animated form, Isis as part of 'Tarzan and the Super 7' and Captain Marvel as half of 'The Kid Super Power Hour With Shazam'.
DC ran a book for Isis from 76 to 78, I believe.
Isis appeared in the following DC Comics:
SHAZAM! #25 (Sep-Oct 1976)
ISIS #1 (Oct-Nov 1976) - #8 (Dec 1977-Jan 1978)
Isis
History: Four millennia ago, in ancient Egypt, an evil magician named Serpenotep conquered the Land of the Nile by imprisoning the benevolent wizard that had protected the people. Serpenotep ruled tyrannically until the original Isis, posing as a servant, sneaked past the guards and into the wizard's prison. The wizard explained that she would be unable to free him until Serpenotep was defeated, but that he was able to transfer some of his power into those who are worthy. Using his magic, he caused an amulet necklace to appear around her neck, and an amulet tiara on her head. He told her that she now possessed the powers of the pyramid -- she could soar as the falcon soars, run with the speed of gazelles, and command the elements of earth and sky. The new heroine then confronted the wicked tyrant. Serpenotep commanded his snakes to entwine the young goddess, but she recited an incantation which freed both her and the old wizard. Isis and the wizard combined their power and encased Serpenotep in stone. For years afterwards, Isis guarded those in need, until the day finally came that she passed on. She predicted that she would come again, in another form, to battle evil.
A few centuries later, during the mid 15th century B.C., Queen Hatshepsut ruled as Egypt's first and only female pharaoh. Thanks to his powerful magic, the old wizard still lived, and served as her royal sorcerer. Sensing greatness in her, the wizard presented the Queen with the mystical amulet. He told Hatshepsut that she and her descendants would be endowed by the goddess Isis with great powers. Upon donning the amulet and invoking the name of the goddess, Hatshepsut was transformed into the mighty Isis. After her death, the wizard took the amulet and hid it, along with a scroll which explained the secrets of Isis. He cast a spell, designed to lure one of the Queen's worthy descendants to the site, so that the power of Isis could be rediscovered in some future era.
In the early 10th century B.C., the wizard, who had long since left Egypt, traveled to Jerusalem and studied with King Solomon. On the king's death-bed, the wizard gathered a small essence from the dying wise man. From the banks of the River Styx, he drew the essence of Achilles. From the edge of the world, he implored the Titan Atlas to donate some of his power. In Thebes, he sought out the Greek demi-god Herakles, but instead found his Roman counterpart, Hercules, from which he drew strength. Upon hearing of the wizard's endeavor, the Roman god Mercury joined the coalition. The king of the Greek gods, Zeus, appeared and imparted a portion of his power. The wizard bound the power into a magic lightning bolt, and renamed himself Shazam.
Sometime in the late 20th century, an American teacher named Andrea Thomas traveled to Egypt as part of a scientific expedition. While digging alone at one of the sites, she discovered the amulet tiara and scroll. Something compelled her to put on the tiara, which felt oddly familiar to her. She then discovered that she could read the scroll, as if the amulet had given her the knowledge to understand the ancient hieroglyphics. It read "With this you shall have the powers of the goddess Isis: powers over the forces of nature, and of the animals; powers of the mystical regions of the mind. To have those powers, you must repeat the words 'Mighty Isis!'". Andrea felt compelled to try, and the greatest of heroines was reborn.
Years later, Isis gave up her Andrea Thomas alter ego, and helped form The Freedom Force, along with Hercules, Merlin, Sinbad, and Super Samurai. They operated out of a pyramid in The Valley of Time.
Weapons and Powers: Isis derives her magical abilities from her mystical amulet. She possesses powers over the forces of nature and animals, and powers of the mind, which she invokes through various incantations.
