What does this expression mean in this context? 見た目通りのおっとり系 (A character is describing his bro-con big sister)


When reading, I encountered this expression and do not quite understand. My
guess is: "She is very gentle (?) like her appearance."

The conversation:

> Mc's Big Sister: 「ああ～ 生き返りますそーちゃん、そーちゃん会いたかった～。昨日の夜ぶりだね、会いたかったよぉ～」  
>  二本木家次女、僕の二番目のお姉ちゃんこと二本木日和は **見た目通りのおっとり系だ。**




I assume your question is mainly about おっとり.

as follows:

> 人柄・しぐさなどが、落ち着いていてこせこせとしないさま。おおようなさま。「―（と）構える」「良家の出らしい―した振る舞い」

Taken positively, it means _calm, non-hectic, generous, soft_. Sometimes it
could be used somewhat negatively meaning _slow, non-responsive_. Opposite
characteristics I can think of are _eager, aggressive, restless_ etc.

As for 通り and 系, see the following:

  * [Defining a particular 系](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/4572/defining-a-particular-%E7%B3%BB)

Overall, the phrase means _She is a soft-type as her appearance suggests._
