Beauty Image

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.

However, your interactions are more likely to be misinterpreted as flirtatious. Those who are helping you my attempt romantic overtures, and will be upset if you reject them. Those who see your beauty as a threat may treat you with hostility.
