Um, Big? Tall, maybe.
By comparison. The victim was 5' 2" and 110 lbs, right?

Well, using the standard 5lbs per inch, that means that their proportions were the same, Nelson was just taller. I agree she would be intimidating, but I still wouldn't say big.

That extra third-again of one's body mass could be pretty significant if a fight occurs, particularly with the opponent being a career criminal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
40lbs is a big weight advantage to have over someone in a physical confrontation, whether you're 230 or 130.
I have a fomenting rant. God, people can suck.

My twin sister is 110 lbs and I'm 170, I swear, it feels like Danny Devito/Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Twins thing every time I stand next to her.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Would being taller and having a higher center of gravity negate some of the advantage of having greater weight?

I guess I just have a problem with the word "big" being used to describe someone that size. Maybe if they had used "bigger" in comparison to the victim I wouldn't have noticed it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
5'10" and 150 pounds would be slimmer than the woman in the photo. It's probably just a bad guess-- I know plenty of men who find it hard to guess what a woman is supposed to weigh, just as I personally find it hard to scale up to men's weights.
