Maybe the artist who painted the Fat Lady didn't give her a name. 
Maybe the painting is entitled: The Fat Lady.  Not every subject in a
work of art gets a name from his or her creator.  Honestly - that the
lack of a name for a portrait was a sign of discrimination never
occurred to me.

Tiffany:

Some of the best pieces of artwork I've seen at art shows either were 
just numbered or given such vague titles that you could look it at a 
million different ways & have a million different titles for it.  I 
think that could be a key issue with respect to the weight issue & "the 
fat lady".  Heck, some of my best friends I only knew them as "just 
another face in the crowd" until we got familiar with each other 
because I remember faces & physical features better than names.  I 
don't think the lack of a name was a sign of any form of discrimination 
at all.  The character development & their relevance to the overall 
themes & ideas in the canon are of prime importance to me.
