What is a "cheesecake character"? Looking up that term, I just find Cheesecake the Mouse from the Strawberry Shortcake franchise.
From the Cambridge Dictionary - Cheesecake:
I don't know how much the term is used outside the States, but traditionally over here, it means a woman whose main quality is being sexually attractive in a showy way.
So in the original cartoon Velma is the brains of the outfit, but in fan-made art and cartoons, she usually seems to be reimagined as little more than a sex object, pretty much the same as Daphne.
This definition makes so much more sense than that Cambridge one.
