You have the kind of face that can 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 scrape 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 chosen to be a courtier, paramour, or trophy spouse of someone significant. And, perhaps you became an adventurer to get away from all that.

Feature: Enchanting Appearance
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, 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
Beauties are raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing. Their appearance may make acquiring goods and money easier, but they are also prone to stereotypes about their intelligence and ability, as well as potential dangers from wanton admirers.
