Fan artists often ignore the latter and instead {{Moe}} her up, with some even drawing her as a buxom and curvy woman. Not without precedence either, as Sadako is frequently described as beautiful by multiple characters in the original novel, and some adaptations like ''Ring: Kanzenban'' and the ''Rasen'' film use her for sex appeal and have her appear naked. Her looking like a decepit corpse is specifically an invention of the 1998 film.

** Sadako/Eun-suh/Samara crawling out of the television is an iconic element from the film adaptations that was not in the novel, but it wasn't completely without precedence. In the radio drama made two years before the films Sadako manifests herself on a television screen in the climax (though she doesn't crawl out of it).
