LEVEL I: DIVINE LEVEL BEAUTY

Level I: Divine Level Beauty

For these people, "gorgeous" would be an insult. Their beauty is so great, it
appears to be nothing short of divine intervention (and it may well be). They
might attract heterosexuals of the same gender. They are so beautiful, in fact,
that everyone loses control of themselves simply by looking at them. You
could stare at them for hours. Just the fact of a character's being hot is not
enough to qualify her for this trope. Indeed, many of these women fall
into Informed Attractiveness. The character must be explicitly stated to be the
world's most beautiful woman, hence why this trope is usually limited to
fantasy and mythology, two genres that tend to go light on real-world logic
(Was there a worldwide beauty contest that every woman alive was forced to
enter?). Of course, having two (or more) women contending for the title is
usually not good, and you really, really, really want to limit it to mortal
competitors. Asserting that a woman is more beautiful than a goddess is
dangerous. Even...especially if she's another goddess.

LEVEL II: WORLD CLASS BEAUTY
Level II: World Class Beauty
These kind of characters are extremely good looking. It isn't uncommon for
numerous characters mentioning their attractiveness often. They always have
a lot of people after them at all times. Their beauty is magazine cover-
worthy and they are usually envied a lot. Beyond that, characters don't act
particularly different around them.

LEVEL III: COMMON BEAUTY
Level III: Common Beauty
These kind of characters are "slightly" beautiful. They are certainly attractive,
as in, there is something "special" in their appearance, just nothing
"extraordinary". They are beautiful enough to have admirers, but not enough
to live off their beauty. Cute characters and Cool Losers are often in this
category.




LEVEL IV - IMPERFECT BEAUTY
Level IV: Imperfect Beauty
These kind of characters would be very beautiful, if it wasn't for some kind of
flaw that ruins their beauty. Maybe it is a scar, glasses, a tail or another kind
of flaw or uncommon trait. Sometimes related to "Freakiness Shame" when
other characters think those uncommon traits actually enhance their beauty.
Also of this category are characters who aren't beautiful but ruggedly
handsome, the kind of appearance which is only enhanced by scars, Perma
Stubble, intimidating demeanor or the like.
LEVEL V: COOL/SPECIAL AVERAGE
Level V: Cool/Special Average
These kind of characters are described as normal or average, but with a
certain prettifying and/or amazing trait. Maybe it is their friendly eyes, shiny
hair or maybe it's their amazing smile that makes you feel happy just by
watching it. Characters in this category tend to evolve into considerably higher
levels easily, either by being revealed as Beautiful All Along or simply being
revealed as gorgeous with some easy changes (She Cleans Up Nicely).
Comparisons: Broken Bird, The Stoic, Shrinking Violet, Unkempt
Beauty, Beautiful All Along
LEVEL VI: JUST AVERAGE
Level VI: Just Average
People in this category of beauty aren't neither beautiful nor ugly. They don't
have anything particularly special about them. They are also even more
ignored than ugly people, because nothing in them stands out.
Comparisons: Unlikely Hero, Unlucky Everydude, The
Everyman, Featureless Protagonist, White Male Lead, The Nondescript
LEVEL VII: FLAWED AVERAGE
Level VII: Flawed Average
These kind of characters would be average, if it wasn't for some kind of minor
flaw or uncommon trait that makes them look uglier than average. Similar to
"Cool/Special Average", except the flaw that makes them unique has the
opposite effect.
LEVEL VIII: UNCANNY VALLEY GIRL / UNCANNY VALLEY
Level VIII: Uncanny Valley Girl / Uncanny Valley
These people aren't nessesarily ugly... they just look somehow "unnatural",
"creepy" or "weird". There is just something in them that doesn't look right.
She's cute. Beautiful, in fact. Friendly and popular. She's the head of the class
in terms of looks, money and everything that counts for her approval rating,
but she's not theAlpha Bitch, even if she has a Girl Posse or the entire grade
on her side. One of Those Two Guys might have a crush on her, even though
he never gets anywhere. She's the perfect girl. ...except there's something not
quite human about her, and she's secretly out for your blood.
Comparisons: Yandere, Cute and Psycho, Stepford Smiler, Living with the
Villain, Dark Magical Girl
LEVEL IX: UGLY CUTE
Level IX: Ugly Cute
For these kind of characters there is no denial that they are Ugly as they aren't
what society considers beautiful. Despite that, looking at them isn't
unpleasant. On the contrary, they are considered very cute. Though that
cuteness isn't enough to make them Casanovas.
Comparisons: Cute Monster Girl, Freaky Is Cool
LEVEL X: NORMAL UGLY
Level X: Normal Ugly
They are by no means horrendous. They are simply slightly unattractive and
homely. Sometimes caused by being fat or having poor care on their
appearance.
LEVEL XI: UGLY AND UNCANNY
Level XI: Ugly AND Uncanny
They are unattractive, yes, but more than that: they are unattractive in a
creepy way. Think Governor Tarkin of Star Wars fame. Their traits are not
blatantly gonkish, fairly within the limits for a normal human being, but subtly
repulsive. More often than not their appearance will match perfectly with their
nasty character: for example, a Nazi concentration camp commandant will
have a gaunt, skull-like face and glasses that tend to reflect light when it's
dramatically appropriate, and an overweight food-hoarding merchant in a
famine-struck medieval land will be not fat like an elephant, but his (otherwise
completely normal) girth will have a slimy, greasy sheen to it. However, this
appearance isn't a sure indicator of evil; a Boo Radley can look like this, too.
LEVEL XII: SUPER UGLY
Level XII: Super Ugly
These kind of characters are very, very ugly. Not enough to be excluded from
society, but ugly enough to be unliked and/or bullied by that society. They are
often the Butt Monkey.




LEVEL XIII: AMBIGUOUSLY MONSTROUS
Level XIII: Ambiguously Monstrous
These kind of characters are so ugly that just looking at them may make you
sick. They may use a paper bag to hide their faces or something similar out of
shame. When people look at them, they either feel pity or fear for them. It's
not uncommon for them to be called "monsters", even if they are explicitly
human.
LEVEL XIV: FEARSOME AND CLEARLY INHUMAN
Level XIV: Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman
In no way this being can be confused for a human. They can be obviously
undead, a giant ogre-like brute, an alien resembling an Earth invertebrate
creature. They are unambiguous monsters. Onlookers, however, suffer no ill
effects beyond a fight-or-flight response.
LEVEL XV: LOVECRAFTIAN
Level XV: Lovecraftian
They are so ugly, you may go insane just by looking at them!
