I'm starting over because of few choices and sucky choices (Destiny)

I'm going to delete my male human Hunter and start over as a female human Hunter. I know I'll be happier with the dance, because the Carlton got old after five minutes and all the other dances look better, I think I'll be happier with the armor and body shape, and I might be happier with the hair and with how the character looks in motion (I don't like the vast majority of the human male hairstyles and none really fit the look I was going for, i.e. looking like me).

I just wish I didn't have to redo my story unlocks, redo my ability unlocks, lose my Crucible and Vanguard marks, and lose my reputation with everyone (I'm glad I didn't put any time into the factions). I wish the vault was bigger so I wouldn't have to do as much shuffling and deleting to keep everything that's transferable. I wish we could re-order our characters because this will (almost definitely) put my Hunter on the bottom, and I prefer to have my Hunter be the character has its preview shown when I start the game, and I'll probably pick the wrong one because of muscle memory a few times. (I was going to restart my other two characters to get everything in the right order, but now I'm thinking "screw it".) I wish we had more character slots, because a human female Hunter is what I was leaning towards for my fourth character (maybe built as a Bladedancer, even), and I would've started her weeks or months ago if I could have and not had to do all this juggling, plus I'd have more space for different weapons and stuff.

I wish I could change my appearance and my dance without dropping everything else.

I'm bringing it up here for a few reasons; firstly because it's an indirect message to Bungie that this stuff is important to me, secondly because we can hopefully have a productive conversation about it, and thirdly because I would like any pictures or video you guys have of the human female hairstyles from angles other than the front. If I could spin the character around in the character creator, or if the characters just had animations that showed more after a while, this wouldn't be necessary, but it's clear Bungie didn't take character creation seriously (it feels like I can customize the just the reticle in Aleph One almost as much as my entire base character in Destiny), so I can either find outside pictures, or create the character and wait for stuff to load and cutscenes to play until I can go into third-person view, and repeat for every option I want to look at. A lot of the Awoken female hairstyles were misleading and most of them are not good IMHO (a few with patches shaved bare, I would understand, but this many?), so I was very glad I found pictures and video of them from other sides before choosing, and I can't seem to find anything for the human female hairstyles.
