I don't think Meyer is smart enough to write anything into her stories consciously. Didn't she say that her work doesn't have any themes?

Actually, I think I'm going to have one of the girlfriends of my werewolf/angel hybrid be chunky. The FMC is the daughter of a female Alpha werewolf and an angel, and she kickboxes, teaches yoga, and rides a motorcycle. The FMC is probably going to be stocky and muscular, and ideally, the whole novel will be a deconstruction of current YA Paranormal Romance. #ShamelessSelfPromotion

That was one of the things I did actually like about Keladry of Mindelain; the fact that she was short, stocky, and kind of mannish didn't prevent her from attracting male attention, and it wasn't just because she was the only girl around.
