You have the kind of face that could launch a thousand ships. Everywhere you go you turn heads, whether you want to or not, and it has always been easy for you to get by on your appearance alone. Perhaps you worked a job where looking nice was the highest requirement, like selling clothing or attracting customers to a business; or perhaps you didn’t work a profession at all, and were a courtier, paramour, or trophy spouse of someone significant. And perhaps, you became an adventurer to get away from all of that.

Feature: Enchanting Qualities
Your appearance causes people 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 towards your gender. However, your interactions are more likely to be misinterpreted as flirtatious. Those who are helping you may believe you are courting them or they may attempt romantic overtures, and will react accordingly if rejected. Those who see your beauty as a threat may treat you with hostility.
Suggested Characteristics
Whether you revel in your own comely appearance or are annoyed at the way others treat you, your appearance has influenced your aspects of who you are.
