When a girl (or, in some cases, a guy), regardless of their looks, believes herself to be unattractive. Usually, it's because they're lacking in conventional beauty, but it's rare for them to actually be ugly. Tomboys and Girl Next Door types are especially prone to believing this when comparing themselves to other women, who have more feminine qualities. At least, until someone dolls them up, or helps them see that they're perfectly fine as they are. Amazonian types may feel the same way, because they often think guys aren't into them. As are pettankos, who may feel inferior to other girls' bigger endowments. While for others, it may have to do with being over their 'ideal weight'. Sometimes she might be a standard beauty, but feels unattractive because she's the wrong kind of beautiful. A girl with Raven Hair, Ivory Skin who's an absolute knockout to anyone with eyes might still feel she's unattractive because she's told the "ideal" is blue-eyed blonde. This one is especially common in the U.S.; the standard of beauty is an ideal that could be considered Northern European (blonde hair, blue eyes, tan complexion), which leaves a lot of girls in minority groups feeling this way. note Cher, for instance, has said in the past that she grew up feeling like she could never be beautiful because she wasn't blonde. This is often the basis behind a Beautiful All Along or She Cleans Up Nicely event, when a character who is seen (rightly or wrongly) as unattractive is gussied up and made the 'Belle of the Ball'. However, the main issue at hand is not how other characters see her, but the fact that she sees herself as unattractive. If the girl can realize her worth and attractiveness without a makeover, so much the better. Subtrope of Appearance Angst. Compare Obliviously Beautiful, where an attractive character is simply unaware of their beauty. Related to Hollywood Homely, where we're either told that the girl is unattractive, or the rest of the cast simply acts as if she is. See also Sexy Flaw for when some kind of disfigurement or physical abnormality is seen as attractive. May occasionally be deliberately invoked as a form of Self-Deprecation or Compliment Fishing. But it can often be Truth in Television, if the girl in question has a poor self-image and/or unrealistic ideas of what constitutes beauty. Contrast Delusions of Beauty, where a character claims to be beautiful, even when everyone else thinks they're not. |

Lee Fiora in Prep; "There were other things a guy could think I was, and he wouldn't be entirely wrong — nice, or loyal, or maybe interesting. Not that I was always any of those thing, but in certain situations, it was conceivable. But to be seen as pretty was to be fundamentally misunderstood. First of all, I wasn't pretty, and on top of that I didn't take care of myself like a pretty girl did; I wasn't even one of the unpretty girls who passes as pretty through effort and association. If a guy believed my value to lie in my looks, it meant either that he'd somehow been misled and would eventually be disappointed, or that he had very low standards.â€� But Lee is a Shrinking Violet and the depiction of her on the cover is very pretty. | |

X-23 is quite clearly a very beautiful young woman, whose looks are frequently commented upon (most notably by Miss Sinister, who remarked appreciably about Laura's beauty while trying to steal her body). Laura, however, doesn't see it for herself, which stems from her abusive upbringing aimed to strip her of her humanity, resulting in very poor self-esteem and sense that her life has little value. When Jubilee takes her out clubbing, Laura tries to deny her assertions that she's "hot," and when on a date with the time-displaced teenaged Angel while trying to figure out why Warren is interested in her, of all people, insists that Jean is much prettier than she is, which Warren insists is not true at all (though he acknowledges that she's correct when she then counters that he is prettier than her). | |

Fire Emblem: Binding Blade has a character named Dorothy. She has brown hair, brown eyes, and wears all brown tomboyish clothes. When Proper Lady Clarine takes it upon herself to make Dorothy an attractive lady, Dorothy says that there's really nothing to work with. (Clarine eventually concludes that the issue isn't Dorothy's clothing or mannerisms, it's this attitude.) Fire Emblem Fates has Nyx, a Lady of Black Magic who due to a curse, is literally Not Allowed to Grow Up. She has severe issues regarding her "child-like" body and believes herself not to be pretty at all. Fire Emblem Warriors has a support with Lissa telling Cordelia how beautiful she is, Cordelia doesn't agree at all. A cut support featuring Camilla and Cordelia has the latter again expressing confusion. Unlike the previous example, it's a bit understandable in this case because Camilla is very curvy and Cordelia is... not. |

The Bones episode "The Woman at the Airport" featured a victim who had undergone extensive plastic surgery because she was never satisfied with her appearance, main protagonist Doctor Temperance Brennan criticising the society that forced this woman to have such a flawed image of herself; this makes it hard for the characters to identify the victim as the surgery throws off most of the markers they are used to looking for when analysing the skull, but when they eventually find a picture of their victim pre-surgery, Brennan is sad to see that the victim was beautiful before she started 'torturing' herself. | |

In the Girls's episode "One Man's Trash", Hannah talks about her insecurity with her older fling Joshua. He tells her that she's beautiful, she sceptically replies "You really think so?", then he asks if she believes the opposite to which she replies: "I do. It's just not always the feedback that I've been given." In short, she gets that she isn't model-gorgeous but that she is at least decent looking. | |

An early Cheers episode involves Coach's Hollywood Homely daughter, Lisa, visiting along with her fiancé, who turns out to be a self-centered jerkass who's only marrying her to help his career. In the episode's climax, Coach confronts her about him, and Lisa acknowledges his shortcomings but fears that this is her only chance at getting married and having children, since he's the only person who's ever proposed to her. | |

Kat Hernandez doesn't feel like she's especially as stunning as her friends due to her weight in Euphoria (despite being portrayed by the gorgeous and voluptuous Barbie Ferriera). She mostly gets over this in Season One when she becomes a cam girl and starts dressing herself as a dominatrix. On a smaller note, Lexi Howard, tends to feel this way as she is overshadowed by her blonde and buxom older sister Cassie and everyone from their family to their friends pay attention to Cassie. Lexi Howard is played by the just as gorgeous Maude Apatow. |

Mallory of The Baby-Sitters Club sees herself as this: she has very frizzy red hair, clear brackets for braces, eyeglasses and a conservative wardrobe that her parents approve of (but appropriate for most preteen girls her age). It's often commented by other babysitters that at best, she is cute, at worst "she will grow into her looks". To a lesser extent, the tomboyish and flat-chested Kristy comments that she "is not as pretty as Mary Anne", her more feminine and mature childhood friend who has Girl Next Door charms, or even as gorgeous as friends Claudia and Stacey. |

Ōoku: The Inner Chambers: Averted and defied by Nobu; she knows she's rather plain looking (and this is backed up by others noting she's plain-looking as well), but she's also not particularly bothered by it because, as she herself prefers a plainer sort of man rather than Bishounen, it stands to reason that there will be a man that likes her plainer looks. This so shocks Shogun Tsunayoshi (who was raised to believe her beauty was the most important thing to her) that she ends up laughing, then awarding Nobu land and the masculine name Yoshimune as a reward for the laugh, setting off a chain of events that eventually led to Yoshimune becoming shogun herself. Gender reversed with Ejima; not only does he have a not very prepossessing face, he has a lot of body hair, which had scared off prospective lovers and wives. The happiest day of his life was when Ikushima Shingoro, a Kabuki actress, said those women had no taste and were too used to beautiful men, had he been among the common people he'd have to beat the women off with a stick, and how she was not at all put off by his hirsuteness. |

Celine in Before Sunrise. Actually, the trailer for Before Midnight and a scene in Before Sunset. In the latter, she asks how she's different, and Jesse responds that she's thinner. She then says she was a "fat French girl." And in the trailer for the former, she describes herself as a "fat-ass, middle-aged mom losing her hair." This is Julie Delpy ! | |

Naruto: Kushina says this word for word when her son Naruto finally meets her, even if she's, well, dead. She even apologizes to Naruto for giving him her face. Naruto is implied to feel this way about himself as well, as he compares himself to Sasuke who all his fangirls are in awe of for his looks and cool bad boy persona. He also can't fathom why someone as pretty and nice as Hinata would fall for someone like him. It's her love and the love he earned from those in his village that gives him the confidence to think more positively of himself and describes himself and Sasuke as handsome to Sarada who is Sasuke's daughter. |

Date A Live: Natsumi honestly believes her true form (a pretty, if messy haired 14 year old) is hideous and no one would want to look at her like that, hence she uses her transformation powers to give herself an adult form which is what she believes is an ideal body. It takes a lot of work, but in the end Shido and the gang manage to get her to accept her true form, and afterwards she becomes Miku's favorite target for sexual harassment, because she finds her so damn cute. It's later revealed that she thought so little of her looks because her mother treated her like crap, called her ugly, and did other horrible things to her before her transformation into a spirit which completely wrecked her self-image. | |

Another male examples is Jim McCarthy, the protagonist in The War Against the Chtorr. When 'Liz' Tirelli compliments him he immediately starts blurting out everything that's wrong with him, and can't believe she'd be interested in him. Liz is older than him so thinks the opposite is the case. Eventually Liz gets angry with him, pointing out that his thinking this implies there's something wrong with her for choosing Jim as her lover. | |

Liri from The Challenges of Zona believes she is ugly and unattractive, because she is a giantess and has been reviled by humans her whole life. This persists even after she met and fell in love with another giant, Keltan, leading to the two of them being platonic roommates until Zona, the main character, convinces her otherwise and tells her about sex. | |

Parodied in Discworld book Thud!. Where the human-despite-all-appearances-to-the-contrary-Nobby Nobbs starts dating a beautiful strip dancer, Tawneee, no one can believe it. Apparently, she thinks herself ugly. Why? Because every other guy assumed that she was out of their league and never approached her, leading her to believe she was unattractive; Nobby only asked her out because he was so used to rejection he asked expecting her to turn him down. | |

In Queen Bees and Wannabes, one of the observations the author makes about her experiences talking with high school girls is that they will hardly ever accept compliments about their beauty and instead claim that they're fat and ugly to avoid coming across as vain or self-absorbed. Mean Girls, the film based on this book, references this phenomenon in a scene where the Girl Posse's members — all of them drop-dead gorgeous — all stand in front of a mirror and loudly lament about how hideous they look. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): The episode "The Eye of the Beholder" has a young lady whose head is swathed in bandages as the plastic surgeon laments that he was unable to do much for her. They remove the bandages to reveal she has a lovely face and is, in fact, quite beautiful. As the doctor and the nurses all gasp with dismay and disgust, the point of view pulls back to reveal they are all horribly disfigured by our standards, with ugly pig-snoutish noses. By their standards, she was the horribly disfigured one. The young girl sees her reflection in a mirror and bursts into tears at seeing herself as so ugly. Subverted in a Saturday Night Live skit when Pamela Anderson cohosted. The scene played out as above until the young girl (played by Ms. Anderson) looked at herself in the mirror. She jumped up and exclaimed in delight, "Hey, I'm hot. I'm the hottest chick on this planet," and ran from the room. |

Sara Crewe in A Little Princess thinks she must not be pretty because she doesn't mesh with the beauty standards of late-nineteenth-century England, being small, skinny, black-haired, tanned, and green-eyed, comparing herself to another child who is fair-skinned and golden haired. There is some Values Dissonance at play here, since Sara doesn't match the Victorian standards of beauty. The narration, however, states that she is definitely prettier than she thinks. | |

Mildmay Foxe from Doctrine of Labyrinths is a male example. He has a scar that paralyses half his face, and was repeatedly called ugly (and sexually abused) by his guardian as a kid, leaving him with terrible self-esteem. He's so sure he's The Grotesque that he's baffled (or just oblivious) when people flirt with him, and even when someone admits they have a crush on him he tries to put it down to something other than him being attractive (e.g. he's sure Ginevra only wants him for his bad boy rep, and that Corbie is just settling for him because she can't have Felix). Judging by the sheer number of characters who lust after him throughout the story, however, it's safe to assume he's unconventionally sexy at the very least, if not downright gorgeous. | |

Dead of Summer: At first Cricket's quite insecure about her weight and thinks she isn't pretty. In reality Cricket's slightly heavier than average at most, looking cute and voluptuous, which is especially shown when she dons a red bikini. Despite her anxiety, she gets the attention of Alex, a boy she likes, very readily. Cricket's putting on the bikini in public (to Alex's stunned appreciation) signifies she's begun to get out of her negative self-image and recognize herself as good-looking. | |

Rhapsody from the Symphony of Ages series takes this attitude, due a mix of low self-esteem (born of her past as a prostitute) and the obsessive attentions of previous would-be suitors. Made more egregious by the fact the book goes out of its way to establish her as the World's Most Beautiful Woman. Especially after passing through the fire at the center of the world renders her physically perfect. | |

In The A-Team episode "Bounty", Murdock takes refuge with a female veterinarian named Kelly Stevens while escaping from a group of bounty hunters, and begins to fall in love with her. When Murdock says Kelly is a "pretty girl" and must have a boyfriend, she quickly dismisses it, saying she's never considered herself attractive. (Kelly is at worst the "girl next door" type.) Murdock then picks up a mirror to show her. | |

Mass Effect: Garrus occasionally invokes this for laughs during his romance with Fem!Shepard by acknowledging that he is already far removed from human standards of attractiveness (they joke about him having "always been ugly" literally several hours after he's shot in the face). After you start his romance path, he seems to be more than a little self-conscious about the extremely conspicuous facial scars from the shooting, even admitting when his romance path is started that he didn't think Fem!Shepard would be attracted to someone with scars. | |

In Howl's Moving Castle, it's more of a matter that Sophie lacked confidence and self-esteem to see herself as pretty and sees herself as plain and doomed to a boring life. She also suffers from a dash of Wrong Genre Savvy: Sophie is the eldest of three sisters, and is the protagonist of a story — she just assumes it's a classic fairy tale instead of modern fantasy. | |

An uncommon in the second Percy Jackson and the Olympians book: Percy mentions that he doesn't like to think about his appearance, mentioning a few minor flaws that bother him (one of which is just that he's started getting zits). For what it's worth, the official art always depicts him as normal-to-attractive. On the other hand, he says this while his insecurities are being heightened by Circe, who's using her Compelling Voice to make him accept a "makeover". | |

Maia Drazhar in The Goblin Emperor is very self-conscious and negative about his own appearance, but the worst the actual physical descriptions in the book have to say are that he's a bit scrawny, prone to Messy Hair (which ceases to become an issue after he becomes emperor and has a valet to take care of it), and has a nasty scar on his arm that's completely covered-up when he's fully clothed. A lot of his self-consciousness comes from having very visible mixed ancestry in a milieu full of Fantastic Racism, as well as general low self-esteem from years of psychological abuse. | |

It doesn't stop her from attracting her childhood friend Laurie, and later Professor Bhaer.

A Song of Ice and Fire: Arya Stark genuinely believes herself to be ugly, and is confused when people say she is pretty — she's stated to be the spitting image of her Aunt Lyanna Stark, who was renowned for her "wild, Northern beauty" with the Stark look and had men literally starting wars for her hand. So chances are Arya is a lot more attractive than she believes. It's also worth mentioning that Arya is not in her teens yet and and the phrase "She grew into her looks" (implying that puberty was very kind) is a phrase that gets bandied about a lot when discussing Lyanna's appearance. | |

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Katarina recognizes that her features are above average, but since she's comparing herself to her even prettier friends she concludes that she isn't attractive at all. More importantly to her self image, though, is that she has upward tilting blue eyes that she thinks make her look like a villain, but everyone else thinks they just make her look a bit intense at worst. Thanks to the fact she spent most of her life being called cursed because of her albinism, Sophia was convinced she's creepy and unattractive. However, she's actually quite beautiful, as Catarina points out, with her albinism actually acting like a Charm Point. When this is pointed out, she cries happily, since nobody besides her brother has ever complimented her appearance before. |

Saber from Fate/stay night has serious problems comprehending that anyone could be attracted to her, and when finally it gets through to her that Shirou is really interested in her, she develops an inferiority complex. Somewhat justified by her past in which she was posing as a man (and a king) and so no other man ever made a move on her. In Fate/Grand Order, Medusa appears to have problems with her taller and more mature appearance compared to her older but petite and eternally youthful sisters. To everyone else, she's THE Gorgeous Gorgon. |

Despite being hand-picked for the part of Lucy Westenra - who is meant to be Mina's more beautiful and attractive friend - she felt she was unsuited for such a role (especially since she'd given birth not too long ago). | |

Anne Shirley, of Anne of Green Gables. While in the first book she genuinely is as plain as she believes herself to be, as she matures she takes on a kind of attractiveness that's just unconventional for her time period. The fact that she's a Fiery Redhead in a time period where red hair was deemed horribly unattractive does give her some grounds for believing this even as an adult, however untrue it really is. It's implied that sympathetic people are the kind who will find her pretty, while the jerks think her plain. | |

She doesn't seem to notice that she's drop-dead gorgeous, and she wears form-fitting clothing made out of ice that might be slightly transparent. She mentions that half the castle has confessed their love for her, but she assumes they're just after the privileges that come with being in a relationship with the queen, and is baffled by the suggestion that they might actually like her. | |

Bella of The Twilight Saga complains constantly about not being pretty, but everybody swoons over her. She's an outright Dude Magnet but doesn't see herself as attractive. When Edward brings this up during one of her self-deprecating moments, she gets embarrassed. However, Bella had just moved from Arizona, where the beautiful girls were blonde, tan, and fit while Bella, pale, dark haired and clumsy didn't fit in. In the sun starved Forks Bella finally is among those who appreciate her beauty but her belief in her plainness is already embedded. She only starts believing she's beautiful after she's turned since she becomes a lot more beautiful, but she doesn't look so different. | |

The Hunger Games fanfiction Some Semblance of Meaning has heroine Vale Whitaker being surprised at the sight of her reflection after her makeover because she "had never felt even remotely pretty in her entire life.... She didn't have crowds of friends, and boys didn't even seem to realize that she was alive. So surely she couldn't have been even the slightest bit pretty. Surely someone (besides her parents, who were required to think so) would have told her by now if she was." It seems that not everyone agrees with her assessment, however—or at least, Obsidian doesn't. | |

In Dota 2, Traxex the Drow Ranger is a stunning Ms. Fanservice. However, her family was killed when she was a baby, and she was then adopted by the Drow race, who are short, brutish, and covered in warts. As a result, she grew up believing that she was hideously deformed due to not matching their beauty standards, to the point where she eventually exiled herself in shame. Although she now lives alone in the forest, lucky travelers may, on rare occasions, catch a glimpse of her legendary beauty. | |

A 16-year-old Misty in Tell Me I'm Pretty gets depressed over the fact that she doesn't get a date for the wedding of her older sister Daisy (on top of being asked to be the flower girl), feeling that she's not pretty enough. She ends up sneaking away and runs into Ash, who after listening to her woes, assures her that she's not just pretty, but he actually considers her beautiful. | |

Mercy Thompson feels this way as she constantly reminds the reader that she is not beautiful in the books. But it’s very clear this is not the case as several of the male characters have been attracted to her and Mercy has been a subject to Male Gaze, usually when she must strip to shift to her coyote form. In the fifth book, Silver Bourne, Mercy was being filmed by a television crew because they considered her the pack’s eye candy, much to Mercy’s surprise. In Adam’s POV from a removed chapter of Night Broken, Mercy looked like a pagan goddess even in a hospital gown. | |

The trope is effectively parodied in Sandra on the Rocks in the character of Ingrid, a stunning Swedish blonde (even by the standards of a comic about the modeling industry) who claims that she's the only woman in her family who hasn't become a model because she's far too plain. This leaves two other characters gobsmacked. | |

Mako from Wandering Son has very poor self-esteem. Her best friend, and especially her mom (who takes special offense to Mako's self-deprecation because Mako partially gets her look from her), get mad at this, saying she's cute. Her mom even screamed that she was way cuter than Nitori when Nitori was in the same room (to be fair, Mako's mom didn't notice she had arrived). | |

Kingdom Hearts III: In the earlier games, Sora was cute in a boyish way but as he got older he became an ultra-pretty Bishōnen along with all the other pretty boys in the series. There are moments however such as in the video game store at Galaxy Toys, where Sora sees Yozora (the character Rex thinks he's a toy of) for the first time and says, "Well, I never looked this good." He also admits in earlier games to be jealous of Riku which is implied to be because he likes Kairi and thinks Kairi prefers Riku for his cool bad boy persona and good looks. | |

Laura Ingalls, of the Little House on the Prairie books, despairs over the fact that she's an extremely short brunette, rather than "tall and willowy" (like Nellie Oleson), and blonde (like her sister Mary). In reality, she was quite a pretty◊ girl — just not by the conventional standards of her time. Somewhat justified, however, because Caroline "Ma" Ingalls, herself a knockout who bore an uncanny resemblance to Jessica Biel, discouraged vanity. | |

Queens of Mewni: Minguanta is considered rather plain looking by Mewnian standards, so much so that she was given the sobriquet 'The Bland'. She honestly isn't bad looking (fans tend to gush over how cute she is), but when one's sister is known as 'The Fairest' and has latent magic to make her appear as everyone's ideal standard of beauty, one doesn't stand a chance, and this in fact does a number on Minguanta's self-esteem. | |

Willow of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the first couple of seasons. She pines for Xander, hoping he would see her as more than a friend. At one party where she's dressed modestly as an eskimo almost completely covered in fur, she laments Xander's more attractive date (dressed as an Incan princess, who unbeknownst to them is a revived mummy that really is an Incan princess). Little does she know, her future boyfriend Oz is watching her from the stage and is immediately taken with her despite or even because of her costume. | |

The Quintessential Quintuplets: Miku Nakano seems to suffer from this, owing to her low self-esteem. Even though she and her sisters are identical quintuplets, she often compares herself unfavorably to her older sisters Ichika and Nino, both of whom are outgoing and popular, while she's withdrawn and doesn't care much for her appearance. During the climax of the Sisters' War arc, Nino angrily tells her that, being quintuplets, Miku is as pretty as the others too. | |

Never Have I Ever: Kamala (as played by the gorgeous Richa Moorjani)lampshades this about herself, right before a man bikes past her and, stunned by her beauty, crashes. If anything she is Obliviously Beautiful and wants a man who appreciates her intellect and career ambition as much as her traditionally feminine traits. If anything, her younger cousin and nerdy protagonist Devi can feel vulnerable to this, especially when her rival refers to her as an "unfuckable nerd" when they are engaging in Snark-to-Snark Combat which is ridiculous given that Devi looks as good as her portrayer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan. |
