Don't forget, Sybil started out as Ankh-Morpork's one fat joke. ("somewhere around her midsection, mere corsetry was being subjected to the strain normally found in the heart of a small star")
As fat jokes go, she's pretty cool, though. I liked the scene where her carriage horses were being spooked by the smell of Big Dragon and trying to run away, and she was just standing there holding their reins as six big horses struck sparks off the cobblestones with their hooves and not only didn't she budge, she didn't even bat an eyelash.
