A character is the most beautiful/handsome person around... but only in their own imagination. It is said that people tend to see themselves as more attractive than they really are. A combination of self-enhancement bias and the reversed image we usually see in the mirror often give us a false impression of what we actually look like. But characters in fiction often take this self-enhancement filter to a whole new level, where their delusions of beauty have no basis in reality at all. These are characters who might be ugly, plain, old, or overweight (or any combination thereof), but still see themselves as a sexy Head-Turning Beauty. They may try to invoke Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful! while lacking the assets to get the desired results. They might also try to force themselves on anyone who takes their fancy and get offended/confused that their target would turn down a big "catch" like them. If they have an Imagine Spot of what they look like, their imagined selves probably don't resemble their true appearance in the slightest—with the delusion version of the character having a more conveniently attractive form. They might even get Distracted by My Own Sexy, and what they see in the mirror is their idealized self-image than what they actually look like. The inverse of Obliviously Beautiful and I Am Not Pretty. Compare/contrast Crush Filter, when someone looks more attractive to other people (who has a crush on them) than they really are. Related to Casanova Wannabe, Urban Legend Love Life, Of Course I'm Not a Virgin, and Have I Mentioned I Am Sexually Active Today? See also Narcissist and Pride. May overlap with White-Dwarf Starlet, where a once-popular celebrity is in denial that they're getting old and past their prime. For other delusionally confident characters, see Small Name, Big Ego, Giftedly Bad, Know-Nothing Know-It-All, and Boisterous Weakling. Not to be confused with Self-Fanservice, when artists draw their favorite characters as being sexier and better-looking than they actually are in canon. Note: Do NOT list characters who are actually considered beautiful by other characters (unless their interest is considered "weird" in-universe), even if the viewer doesn't agree with the story's assessment of the character's attractiveness. Also, No Real Life Examples, Please!. |

The Devil is a Part-Timer!: Miki Shiba, the landlady for Mao's apartment building (and later revealed to be a powerful deity in her own right), believes that she is a classical beauty, often pointing out that the "Mi" in her name means "beautiful". She is, in fact, morbidly obese. A photograph of herself in a swimsuit that she sent to the demons from Enta Isla caused them to experience a violent burst of nausea. | |

But in her mind, she's thin and attractive, with hundreds of boyfriends, and best friends with the Debbies' clique, and no one can convince her otherwise. | |

Ranma ½: Happosai always depicts himself as a tall, blonde-haired Pretty Boy whenever he regales his youthful exploits to other people. However, a less biased flashback shows that he had always been the bug-eyed midget in his youth as he is at present. His nearly identical friend, Rakkyosai, likewise remembers his youthful self as a beautiful man with dark, flowing locks. | |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: A downplayed, situational example occurs in "Mind Pollution"; Skumm starts selling a designer drug called Bliss and manages to hamstring the Planeteers by getting Linka's cousin to give her drugged food, leaving her mind too cloudy to use her ring. While Linka is flirting with Wheeler and offering him a pill, he pushes her over to a mirror so that she can see what the drug is doing to her physically. She laughs and says she looks beautiful. Ordinarily, Linka is gorgeous and even with the drug affecting her body she's good-looking. However, she's red-eyed, haggard, and obviously the worse for wear to anyone who's not under the influence; she's just too deep in denial to see it. | |

The Cry of Mann: Courtney cares a lot about her own beauty, something that becomes more exaggerated when her Sanity Slippage begins. She spirals into madness while attempting to make herself look stunning, with efforts that include putting on way too much lipstick and, at the end, covering her entire face in rhinestones. She also keeps asking her callers if she's beautiful, and most play along to avoid offending her, which means that she continues to double down on thinking her efforts are working even as she begins to look much more obviously bizarre. | |

Cinderella: Based on their comments when they learn about the invitation to the royal ball and their overall confidence in being able to win over the prince, Anastasia and Drizella both perceive themselves as highly attractive and fashionable. While they're not hideous to look at, they're far from strikingly beautiful and their garish-looking outfits don't help; they also regularly mock Cinderella's appearance despite her looking better than them even in rags. Their mother's overindulgence in them is implied to be the source of their delusions. That said, the sequels do reveal that Anastasia at the least is actually aware she's not that conventionally attractive and is jealous of Cinderella's more conventional beauty, with Cinderella trying to help her see that looks aren't everything and that in the right clothes she will look better. | |

One Piece: Alvida is a big, rotund woman with warty skin, wide lips, and too-small eyes. After eating the devil fruit, she becomes a beautiful and shapely woman, but even before her transformation, she sees herself as the most beautiful lady of the sea and would beat up anyone who disagrees with her using an iron mace. Giolla believes that she's even more beautiful than Boa Hancock. In reality, she was really beautiful 14 years prior to the start of the plot. In less than three years after that, she got a Butter Face, and now she's an outright Gonk. |

When she does transform, she is convinced that she has achieved her goals, unaware that to everyone else she looks like a corpse covered in third and fourth-degree burns (as her family arranged for a cremation upon her supposed death). Her delusions are shown when looks at her reflection and sees herself as she was when she was human. She only realizes the truth when she sees a photo of herself. She immediately has a Freak Out that she'll be stuck as an ugly and deformed monster for eternity and pleads with Seward to kill her. | |

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? has Phryne Jamil, a member of the Ishtar Familia. She is a huge, obese woman with a face that resembles a toad, but believes herself to be the most beautiful woman alive. Phryne also has the disturbing habit of kidnapping men that takes her fancy and tortures and rapes them until they are too traumatized to have sex ever again—which she sees as further evidence of her desirability because clearly those guys are so love-struck that they will never be satisfied, sexually, by anyone else. | |

Perfect Blue: Near the climax of the film, Rumi—an overweight, middle-aged woman—falls into a delusion that she is Mima, the main character who is a young, beautiful Idol Singer. As she is chasing the real Mima through the street, "Mima" is shown gracefully floating in an almost fairy-like way while her reflection shows Rumi (wearing Mima's pop idol dress) rabidly chasing her down with the intent to murder her, panting and sweating heavily. | |

Etra chan saw it!: Hiiragi thinks that he is attractive after being praised by his friends for marrying Yuri, who recently became attractive after losing her weight. His delusions eventually escalates to the point where he decides to hit on other women, who are understandably creeped out by his behavior. Akane thinks she is still the same beautiful woman from 20 years ago, despite the fact that her face started aging. She also looks down on Azami for looking too "old" despite both of them being in their 40s. |

Rumiko Takahashi Anthology: Risa Hoshino from "One Hundred Years of Love" is a shriveled-up 92-year-old lady who lives in regret for rejecting a fellow patient's love confession and driving him to suicide. While imparting this woeful tale to the other patients and nurses, the young Risa is drawn as a stereotypical Stock Shoujo Heroine with sparkly eyes and delicate appearance, while her lost love is a handsome young man. Later, the patient she rejected (who didn't actually die, but simply lost his footing by the cliff and broke his leg), retold the story in a much less dramatic—and probably more accurate—manner. In his recollection, Risa is shown to have a stockier figure and plainer face, while he himself was a rather dorky-looking boy, with Nerd Glasses and shorn hair (the handsome man that Risa imagined him as was actually the guy she rejected him for). | |

Gadget Boy & Heather: Big Bad Spydra is an ambiguous example since her face is never shown on-screen, but seeing her petrifies or paralyses people depending on episode, and her Servile Snarker Boris also seems to imply her "supreme beauty" is all in her head. The only characters to call her beautiful with guaranteed sincerity (i.e. not fearing retribution if they say otherwise) are the spider aliens from "The Day the Gadget Boy Stood Still". | |

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry views a Pensieve Flashback of a witch named Hepzibah Smith who seems to think that she's immensely beautiful and enjoys when her house-elf Hokey says so; Harry himself really begs to differ. | |

In James and the Giant Peach, James' aunts Spiker and Sponge, neither of whom are attractive inside or out, spend an early scene praising their own looks and tearing down the other's. | |
