Well hell, that's a problem in most games.. Go through an entire FPS getting shot the entire time, never mind that you'd be about 200 pounds heavier just from bullets lodged in you, there's no holes in the clothing <_<..
I think one of the first games I saw incorporate damage consideration into appearance of characters was a remake of Castle Wolfenstein. I remember slashing this crazy doctor with a knife, and was shocked to see his lab coat torn up where I hit him.
But anyways, my point was the appearance of a character usually should reflect what they've undergone as a person.
So far all I can tell of lightning was that she was a runway model.
