sylph

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'she' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'a slightly attractive figure' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sylph that I've seen before include "Graceful lass" , "Thin, graceful woman" , "Slender, graceful girl" , "Slim person" , "Slender, graceful female" .)
