Your appearance causes people who aren't already aggressive or hostile towards you to treat you differently. They will be more willing to interact with you or give you special treatment, especially if they are inclined to be attracted to your gender.
However, your interactions are more likely to be misinterpreted as flirtatious. Those who are helping you may attempt romantic overtures, and will be upset if you reject them. Those who see your beauty as a threat may treat you with hostility.
Suggested Characteristics
Successful pageant queens have to be able to capture and hold an audience’s attention, so they tend to have flamboyant or forceful personalities. They’re inclined toward the romantic and often cling to high-minded ideals about the practice of art and the appreciation of beauty.
