I just realized, this is the first PvZ female gnome we've seen, isn't it? I don't think any of the ones we fight are female- rather, they all have facial hair, which the female one doesn't. Also, she seems to be a Shooty gnome.

Off-topic (slightly): Gnomes in most of their other fantasy appearances are generally very intelligent, usually being more technologically advanced than, say, dwarves (who are usually stuck underground, being natural diggers/miners) and elves (who dwell in the forests, concealed by foliage to freely practice magic, combat, and archery). So maybe the godlike Gnomes in PvZ are continuing this trend? After all, they do have the only functional character-tracking goggles (that we know of, some other customizations are supposedly tracking too, but they're purely cosmetic, while Gnomish Perspective is actually LEGIT tracking).
