Before you get excited, no, she has not been shown yet. What we do have is a new tidbit to mull over.
Ever since the Monk's announcement back at the BlizzCon (see New Diablo 3 Character Class: The Monk!) this last summer, speculation has run high and dry on the Monk, from skills and weapons to his energy source. The female version of the Monk has yet to be revealed, whereas in all the other classes we have seen, more or less, a male and female version, but Bashiok may be offering just a little bit of information for us to think about until the real announcement comes.

That is all.
A pixie haircut? Despite the fact that in our world the Monk is a male-oriented figure, and bald, Blizzard needed a way to compensate for that with the female version. Although some have speculated a bald female, as well, it may be that Blizzard doesn't agree with the idea.

I can't recall, but i though i heard/read somewhere that Diablo 3 Characters would have some sort of customization option as far as physical appearance. I wonder, is it possible to set up your own hair style/color when making a character? Granted you might not be seeing too much of your character close enough for it to matter too much, except maybe in in-game cut scenes, but it'd be pretty sweet to customize things like that. If my Wizard has a long mane of white/gray hair, it'd be easier to pick her out of the splashy gory bloody magical mess i think we all hope multiplayer will be
nope sorry kiddo this isn't the sims, this is a hack'n slash. In d3, you pick a female or a male and you beat the crap out of demons and maybe angels. No time to pick a hair style or skin color!
Although I'm not much of a fan of short hair.. on anyone - anything would be better than the assassin at this point. Looked like Blizzard gave a 4yr old a pair of scissors.

Watching 240 guys talk trash about cavaliers is like two retards having a slapfight over a sippy cup.
i think it should have a pink pony tail like a female gnome on WoW..lol jking i think she should have some kind of blond hair with small pony tail that would be great
I think she should look more holy in a way lighter hair maybe even white y know get some rings of light aroudn her head or something just my opinion though.

Not even Death will save you from Diablo Bunny's Cuteness!
More info on her needed! For some reason when I first read Pixie I thought of the double pigtails cut on Gnomes in WoW for some reason (I don't want that on the female monk though).
TY for the Google link, that helped clarify.

Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.
