Ulrika faces a pretty big test, as the first female herobit--everyone's immediately going to analyze her for her appearance: too sexy? sexy enough? exploitative?
I think in this case, Carla pulled it off extremely well: believable, athletic/strong, and (IMO) a positive image for a female action hero.
Ulrika's a woman, yeah, but she's a warrior first, woman second. She's got a job to do, and tarting it up is just unnecessary.
I love this character, and not for eye-candy.
Cheers
