Progressively Prettier	comment	The slow accretion of attractive changes to characters who are actually supposed to be fairly odd-looking, if not outright ugly. It doesn't just mean a costume change at some point in the story; here, the physical appearance inexplicably changes. This shouldn't be confused with a design that happens to be very attractive to fandoms with certain kinks; that is more or less out of the original designer's hands. Nor when it's just the artstyle itself is becoming refined, though it can overlap. This trope refers to the slow changes to make the character more marketable that happen over the course of a series or multiple adaptations, even if it feels detrimental to the character with their initial unusual design becoming more generic and less interesting-looking. This is very common with female characters, even ones designed to deliberately avoid this trope, once they get out of the hands of their creators. Even mythological creatures may be prettied up, as tends to happen with the Gorgeous Gorgon. In the case of males, this is particularly common in villains and anti-heroes when they undergo a Heelâ€“Face Turn or when they Took a Level in Kindness, because Beauty Equals Goodness. May also be the case with female villains when they become more heroic, but those are more often already attractive. A related trope is Self-Fanservice (where it's the fans doing this to the canon art). In cases where this comes to the detriment of the integrity of the character, one of the intermediate depictions may be considered a Franchise Original Sin in hindsight. Compare Fanservice Pack, Adaptational Attractiveness, Anthropomorphic Shift, Unnecessary Makeover, Art Evolution, Girliness Upgrade, Bishōnen Line, and With Great Power Comes Great Hotness.

Progressively Prettier / int_11859033	comment	Narbonic: Dave Davenport starts the story as a scruffy, overweight guy who is almost never seen without the stereotypical "nerdy computer guy" flannel shirt. By the final arc he's lost some weight, his beard is much more neatly-trimmed and he actually looks pretty good in a well-tailored suit, although his everyday dress sense hasn't changed much. This is part of Dave's character arc; he starts out as a fresh college graduate who's more than a little naive and socially awkward, and as he starts to gain some self-confidence and maturity as he settles into his role as Helen Narbon's IT guy he starts taking better care of his appearance. Quitting smoking (or rather retroactively never taking it up in the first place via Timey-Wimey Ball shenanigans) probably helped as well.

Darkstalkers Revenge toned down both her more bestial features and her muscularity, and by Darkstalkers 3 she was a Cute Monster Girl with Cute Little Fangs, and normal eyes that, if you knew to look, had cat shaped (but human sized) pupils.note Oftentimes she doesn't have them at all in art for spinoffs.

Progressively Prettier / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Marrow started as a creepy-looking girl who had craggy bones growing out all over her body and skin like a Shar Pei, but after her Heelâ€“Face Turn, slowly became just an attractive girl with some cosmetic-looking bone attachments. An accident which involved an exploding card, a trip through the astral plane and an alien healing device made her pretty. Then Weapon X performed an experimental procedure on her to give her greater control over her powers that also happened to make her "beautiful" (their words). After she fell off the map completely, she somehow defaulted to somewhere between her "just about to join the X-Men" look and her "alien healing device" look. From the same team, Nightcrawler's original source of angst was being fairly demonic looking in a superstitious Ruritanian hometown. When he first appeared in X-Men he was short and more "cute" than anything. When he was moved to Excalibur, Alan Davis purposefully drew him standing at six feet tall and modeled his facial features and personality after Errol Flynn. Sure, he was still a blue elf but he was noticeably more charming than his earlier Dave Cockrum incarnation. Other artists have followed suit for the most part. Even under Cockrum's art run, Kurt was often written as some flavor of endearingly dorky and at times even a Chick Magnet, so his charm wasn't a completely out of the (ahem) blue development. He even had his own in-universe stuffed doll of himself, the BAMF doll. In the X-Mail letter column, they printed a few letters from people who desperately wanted one! Callisto was the leader of the Morlocks, a group of mutants with extreme physical mutations. Callisto never looked nearly as inhuman as the others as was best describable as 'butch' and was implied to be living with them less due to her appearance and more due to bad experiences with people. Due to the actions of fellow Morlock Masque, she is transformed into a pretty woman ... and many years later she's altered to have tentacles of varying length and thickness in the place of arms. She at once becomes prettier and more Morlockishly inhuman. Skin from Generation X. He was explicitly shown and stated to be ugly in his first appearances, but by the end of the series, he was looking positively suave. This has an in-universe explanation, since before the series started he was shown to be able to influence his appearance by concentrating, but doing it too much would give him migraines. Later in the series it is pointed out that his appearance has been improving because he has been learning to control his powers. He can never do anything about the unnatural gray color of his skin, but by issue 50 or even earlier it is no longer hanging off him freakishly while he is conscious. Rogue's appearance during her villain years could be charitably described as looking like the alpha in a women's prison. But after her Heelâ€“Face Turn, she seemed to get progressively more attractive as her popularity increased, until she became the sultry Southern Belle she's known as today (right around the time Jim Lee took over art chores, not-so-coincidentally). This one is at least given an in-story explanation. After the X-Men's rough battle with Nimrod that led to Nightcrawler and Rachel Summers going MIA, Rogue spent all night looking for them, but noticed that she looked like hell when passing a reflective window. Once the stores opened in the morning, she went to the mall for a makeover and liked how she looked. While her new clothes sadly didn't last, she most likely got in the habit of caring more about her appearance from then on. When Gambit was first introduced, his appearance was rather sleazy and not all that attractive. Once Marvel decided that they'd keep him on as a good guy instead of having him turn out to be a villain, however, he was quickly turned into a suave ladies' man. When Wolverine was first introduced to the X-Men, he was about 5'4", quite unattractive, and apparently didn't like to bathe. As his popularity grew, he became less unattractive. Then the Tall, Dark, and Handsome Hugh Jackman portrayed Wolverine in the X-Men Film Series, and people seemed to forget that one of Wolverine's old nicknames was "dog face." Dead Girl from X-Force looked quite wizened and mummified when first introduced, but rapidly turned normal and hot except for her grey skin and deep-set eyes, even becoming an In-Universe sex symbol. In her first appearance, Tabitha Smith (a.k.a. Boom-Boom, a.k.a. Meltdown) was deliberately drawn to have a very plain face, and this was a plot point. This◊ is modern Tabitha. In the original New Mutants run Wolfsbane had short, fuzzy, unflattering red hair (implied to be unable to grow very long at all...when she's in her human form) and a flat chest and at times would express her unhappiness at not being as beautiful as her teammate Dani Moonstar. She was (early on) depicted with a snub, almost doglike nose, sharp fangs, narrow eyes; an animalistic cast to her shape that was lost even by the end of the first issue of the regular comic. Nowadays she varies in height, often has long flowing hair and, depending on the artist, is much bustier â€” when she first turns up in New Mutants Vol. 2 she's an outright bombshell â€” though her run in X-Factor has put her back to her original appearance. Her teammate Karma, a Vietnamese girl, was also depicted in an unflattering way compared to her more modern depictions, with a pug nose, downturned mouth and unflattering hairstyle. At least part of why Rahne looked as she did was her own powers interacting with with her severe problems concerning body image (she wants to be pretty, doesn't think she can be, thinks she shouldn't care because vanity's a sin and thus feel guilty for it, then feels guilty for that... thanks a lot, Rev. Craig.) Mind you, her appearance in X-Factor deviates from the standard attractive female look but is in no way ugly, she has some Annie Lennox kinda androgynous charm to it. When originally created, artist Bob McLeod intended Rahne to be fuller figured at 14 (issue 2), and Dani to be flat at 15. They are, too; for the first run. Rahne mostly envies Dani her long hair. '-it only grows when it's cut, and only t'this length...' For the aforementioned Karma, compare her original depiction◊ with her modern appearance.◊ Heather Hudson from Alpha Flight was introduced as a plain-faced woman with harsh, square features. After her husband's apparent death, Heather took on his role as Alpha's leader under the name Vindicator. While her body becoming more attractive as a result could be justified (she was wearing a form-fitting costume that gave her superpowers, so obviously she'd get into good shape as a result), her facial features inexplicably became much more soft and feminine until she was basically Jean Grey with glasses.

Progressively Prettier / int_249ada68	comment	Early Joanie Laurer (better known as Chyna), with her square jaw and angry slit of a mouth, is one of the more iconic wrestlers in their history. She was like a Buckingham Palace Guard, unflinching in the stupidity of D-Generation X. She got a ton of surgery to soften her look, most noticeably having her jawline shaved down. She looked pretty decent by the time of her IC title win. (Her 3rd Rock from the Sun days, for the uninitiated) Once she toned back how much she lifted, it gave her body some weird proportions as the surgery had been done for her muscular physique, so she kept having more surgeries...but that's another, sad story.

At the time she was trapped in a "Groundhog Day" Loop, not to mention that she was dealing with some serious self-worth issues, and after the arc is over and Allen and Lenalee help her out with both, it shows that Miranda really doesn't look all that bad after all. Once she was upgraded to a recurring character, she was redesigned to look more gothic than old. In one one-off drawing, she's even part of fanservice.

By the later seasons, Roseanne the actress had several plastic surgeries, lost some weight, and began wearing more flattering hair and makeup, turning her into this.◊ (And this was before the final season, where everything went off the rails anyway.) In the 8th season, the opening credits featured morphs of the main characters as they appeared in different seasons (Roseanne's can be seen starting about 0:34). The general trend is upward, though the next to last one is a definite and dramatic step downward (though that's probably at least partly due to her expression, being the only one where she wasn't smiling and instead had a sour look on her face.)

She initially had a prissy Alpha Bitch gimmick and wrestled in pole dancer's outfits before opting for a more modest singlet - and choosing to get into weight lifting. As a result, her waifier frame (which was brought on by excessively unhealthy dieting) bulked up into a more muscular one. She has said that she is an average size for an everyday woman, but is considered overweight by wrestling standards. She recalls being told that she either needed to lose weight to fit the Diva look once again, or else gain it to become a monster heel a la Kia Stevens or Nia Jax. She did neither.

Progressively Prettier / int_38fa34eb	comment	Wonder Woman: Etta Candy started out as visibly overweight, incredibly short (though her early appearances had her taller), and was drawn in a cartoonishly stylized manner. After she was re-introduced in the '70s, she was drawn to be of average height and she ranged from still being kind of chubby to more Hollywood Pudgy. George Perez's take on Etta started out as overweight and plain (which made her jealous of Diana), though she gradually lost weight over his run and in Bill Messner-Loeb's stories, which led to a storyline about her being anorexic. She then regained weight and was depicted as either somewhat thicker than Diana, or as heavyset as she was before. After she was brought into Gail Simone's run, Etta was revamped as a curvy blonde woman who sometimes appeared to be on the BBW side (her more athletic look was eventually implied to be from the training she got as a secret agent). Now in the New 52 continuity, Etta has been reimagined as an attractive black woman who doesn't appear very chubby at all. Like Amanda Waller, DC Rebirth made Etta fat again, though Greg Rucka and the artists split the difference by keeping the Race Lift. The second Wonder Girl Cassie Sandsmark started out as a geeky non-feminine girl who could easily be mistaken for a boy with close cropped hair and baggy clothes and was even described by DC representatives as "horse-faced". By the time she was on the Teen Titans her appearance was that of a generic pouty lipped blonde prom queen who wore Painted-On Pants and a cleavage showing tank top.

Progressively Prettier / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: Vegeta in was originally shorter and thinner, and his face was considerably "pointier" than his current look. This was even more noticeable during the anime's original broadcast in the US, wherein halfway through the Namek arc, FUNimation took over the dub, resulting in every character having a new voice, Vegeta included. Goku of course has gotten this across the series, even when he hit his growth spurt at 18, he was still pretty lean and round-faced. By the time of Z, Goku became so iconically muscular he has Real Life gym routine named after him and his face is more angular. Bulma was already a hottie but the Art Evolution across the franchise has made her curvaceously beautiful and less skinny than she was at the start of the original manga. Dragon Ball Super even continues drawing her as attractive even though she's well into her 40s, though Dragon Ball Super: Broly hints that she's been using the Dragon Balls to make herself a few years younger and Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero outright confirms it showing Bulma using the Dragon Balls to make herself younger and sexier â€” much to the utter exasperated disgust of Piccolo (even though his dad did the same thing). Speaking of Broly, he's gone through this since his new movie. When he first appeared he was lean and emaciated-looking with a dower expression (possibly as result of the Mind-Control Device, his dad put on him). In Dragon Ball Super Broly he's tan, muscular and rugged in his base form. Given his less traumatic origins and Adaptational Heroism, its appropriate. Inverted for Ch-Chi. She was a real beauty◊ at end of the original Dragon Ball, but as she grows into her role as a mother across the years, she's been given a more frumpy appearance and outfits, particularly in Dragon Ball Super. Although as shown in Buu saga Filler Chi-Chi can look stunning again when she decides to doll up for parties. Similar to Vegeta, Yamcha, Krillin, Tien and Piccolo had more sinister expressions when they first appeared, but when they heel-face turned became better looking. Yamcha had a Clint Squint, Krillin had gigantic eyebrows and Tien had a smug smirk. In Piccolo's case he was already more handsome than his goblin-looking father and Kami, but by the time of the Android Saga is a green skinned space stud, which was implied to be a result of assimilating Kami into his being.

In Season 3 the network demanded a sexier female character to cater to the young male demographic - so she was given a makeover as a way of asserting her confidence. The makeover gets toned down in Season 4, but she's still portrayed as much more attractive than in the first two seasons. This one is also justified since as she moved up the ladder to private practitioner, it would be more important for her to maintain a professional (and for women this means conventionally feminine) appearance. Season 3 hangs a lampshade on this by showing that she has to get up even earlier to maintain the look.

Progressively Prettier / int_42889e2c	comment	In general, WWE Divas who are brought in from the independent wrestling scene go through so many cosmetic surgeries while in the developmental leagues that by the time they actually debut in WWE, they look nothing like they used to. This wouldn't be a real issue, except that girls who get surgery done while in developmental frequently don't get called up to WWE. Angel Williams (best known for her run as Angelina Love in TNA), for example, was beloved by the fitness community for her natural abs before getting called into WWE developmental and told to soften up and get implants. Then they dropped her, after saying they were just going to move her from Deep South to Ohio Valley. Madusa had a fair amount of work done on her face, but prior to the WWF this was simply due to the fact it kept getting broken when she went to Japan to wrestle for promotions like Zenjo. Come the WWF and she gets cosmetic surgery to make her nose "prettier". She got breast implants too. Early Joanie Laurer (better known as Chyna), with her square jaw and angry slit of a mouth, is one of the more iconic wrestlers in their history. She was like a Buckingham Palace Guard, unflinching in the stupidity of D-Generation X. She got a ton of surgery to soften her look, most noticeably having her jawline shaved down. She looked pretty decent by the time of her IC title win. (Her 3rd Rock from the Sun days, for the uninitiated) Once she toned back how much she lifted, it gave her body some weird proportions as the surgery had been done for her muscular physique, so she kept having more surgeries...but that's another, sad story. When the company acquired Lita and Jazz from ECW and decided they needed touching up, it was a sign anyone was fair game. That said, Jazz's case was less dramatic than most who had obvious surgeries and Lita at least skipped developmental. Zig-zagged with Molly Holly. When she was brought into WWE she was a pretty sweet country bumpkin with blonde pigtails. Then she was repackaged as a self-righteous prude, so she dyed her hair brown, cut it short and started dressing in dowdy and conservative clothes. This got reversed in 2003, when she started wrestling in corsets and her hair grew out. Gail Kim even before WWE when she lost her La Felina mask to Tracy Brooks. Unlike other Canandian wrestlers such as Dark Angel or Goddess, she wasn't trying to get over with a Mexican crowd but was given an over the top Super Villain gimmick as part of a due paying experience. She never wanted to wear it in the first place and fans were shocked to see she was even remotely feminine, let alone pretty. In WWE there were of course her breast implants, which ironically reduced the amount of time people saw her, due to leaking. Inverted on the her return to the independent circuit and TNA however, where Kim gradually became more chiseled. Tough Enough winner Nidia's lack of push for all her efforts up to getting breast implants somewhat soured her on the industry when she was then released in favor of "divas" not trained to be wrestlers but chosen because they apparently fit WWE's new direction better. She toured the world with Gail Kim following but unlike her didn't find another promotion that could reignite her passion for the business and quit. The six foot body builder Shaniqua was a ridiculous case where WWE clumsily gave her breast implants the on camera handwave of "swelling" caused by Brandshaw's clothesline from hell and based the APA-Basham Brothers feud around it. Kyra and Macaela Mercedes actually ran into recognition failure from some fans under the names Melina Perez and Jillian Hall, although once fans realized who Melina was, a "We Want Kyra" chant actually broke out on a WWE pay per view event, and for those who watched developmental, Hall's surgery actually became the basis of her gimmick in Ohio Valley. Serena Deeb got hit with less of this, as she didn't change her name, but had to get both a boob and nose job just to get noticed by WWE and still didn't get a role on their television for two years until her head was shaved (which ironically wasn't to make her prettier but to fit in with CM Punk's cult of straight edge). Rather than celebrate when Beth Phoenix made it to WWE television without undergoing the diva makeover, fans instead started counting the number of days it would take for her to get huge Fake Boobs. For better or worse WWE didn't prove anyone wrong, but Phoenix mercifully wasn't told to slim down in addition to going under the knife. Ivelisse VÃ©lez cited advancement politics and image standards as her main hindrances in WWE, adding that the woman taking her spot would not have such issues. Velez was right about overcoming politics, but not even Charlotte Flair could avoid the diva makeover. Downplayed with Rebecca Knox (better known as Becky Lynch). While she was a flexing fitness nut she was also a goofy dancer who wrestled in traditionally feminine garb like minidresses. She did appear more dolled up and baring more skin, including cleavage (which is to say Knox had visible cleavage!) in WWE that she had on the independent circuit, but she did not resort to any cosmetic surgeries or even outfit padding. She did it all naturally. The inverted, as she became "The Man" and became less feminine and more covered up than she ever had been before.

Progressively Prettier / int_45e9bfb2	comment	Peter Parker is a classic example. In The Amazing Spider-Man (1963), as drawn by Steve Ditko, Peter is a skinny, thin-faced geek and Spider-Man is thin and more spider-esque. When John Romita Sr - a former romance comic artist - took over the pencilling duties, Peter Parker became significantly more handsome and Spider-Man took on a more muscle-bound appearance. Maybe Handwaved in that when Ditko was drawing it, Spidey was a teenager, and as he got older and got real exercise to go with his superstrength, his frame may well have filled out naturally. The artists' notes in the first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man bear this out: in that series, he's a high-schooler again, and he's drawn explicitly scrawnier and ganglier than the main universe version, with a note that he is supposed to be very thin, not having built up muscle from years of webslinging. Peter does look less spindly and more conventionally attractive even towards the end of Ditko's run. That change began with The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #8 when Flash Thompson broke his glasses, and Peter decides he doesn't need to do that much Clark Kenting, considering the spider bite corrected his vision. This is acknowledged in "Along Came a Child" from Marvel Comics Presents #120, which features a teenager who turns out to be the boy who witnessed Peter climbing up a building in Amazing Fantasy #15. Having figured out that Spider-Man is the same odd boy he saw years ago, he strikes a deal with J. Jonah Jameson, and the Daily Bugle publishes a police sketch that accurately depicts Peter as he appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15. Of course, Peter no longer looks like that.

Progressively Prettier / int_48cf61a6	comment	Superfriends: In a drastic departure from the source material, Superman antagonist Bizarro started out as a straight-up villain and a member of the Legion of Doom in Challenge of the Superfriends. Bizarro's final appearance in the franchise's final series The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians not only made the character Truer to the Text by changing him into a well-meaning but not deliberately malevolent buffoon, but also made him more handsome that the ghoulish visage he sported in prior appearances (albeit still having a chalk-white and angular complexion).

Progressively Prettier / int_495f277f	comment	Hinagiku's mom in Hayate the Combat Butler is a premier example above and beyond the series' Art Evolution. Her first appearance had her looking very definitely middle-aged easily, with some obvious wrinkles and a plain, realistic hair style. She came home the next day looking ten years younger. This is partly justified as she was introduced when Hinagiku brought Hayate home and he needed a place to stay for a couple days, took an instant liking to him, and apparently went to the salon the next day. It's almost become a Running Gag since then that she looks younger and prettier with each appearance, and by now she sports a cute hair style, a perky and energetic expression, and not a wrinkle in sight - she could easily be mistaken as Hinagiku's older sister these days, although she acts more like a younger sister most times...

When she was first the villain Screaming Mimi, she was drawn anywhere from being a KISS reject to a new wave albino. Once she ditched the heavy makeup and dyed her hair mostly red, her natural good looks started shining through. This hit its peak with the Warren Ellis run, where the art direction simultaneously softened her features and refined her chin and cheekbones. The artist also gave her bright blue eyes. However after she was made a warden at the Raft, she got a butch hair cut and a somewhat more square jawline.

Progressively Prettier / int_4da11f30	comment	Yarna d'al Gargan, the "fat, six-breasted exotic dancer" seen briefly in Return of the Jedi, was apparently intended to be a glaringly ugly woman. Much of the fiction written about the inhabitants of Jabba's palace since then has turned this characterization completely on its head. While some writers still portray Yarna as a hideous Abhorrent Admirer, most other writers have treated her much more sympathetically. Illustrations of Yarna now depict her as unquestionably female (if still fat) and try to avoid making fun of her. In a story by science-fiction author A. C. Crispin called "Skin Deep," Yarna's backstory is provided: she is an Askajian, or a member of an alien species from the desert world of Askaj. Askajians are said to only appear fat because their bodies have evolved to retain large quantities of water on arid planets; this explains why Yarna is fat on Tatooine. However, on moister or cooler worlds, members of this species are much more slender. Yarna's companion in this story, Sergeant Doallyn, even feels himself attracted (yes, sexually) to her — although he is an alien himself. Yarna also talks about how much it always hurt her to hear Jabba's henchmen refer to her as fat and ugly, even if Jabba himself was attracted to her. And in another Star Wars sourcebook, it is revealed that "Yarna" means "beautiful" in Askajian.

If you watch clips from the original film on YouTube, at least one comment will say that Chaney is too ugly. In the original book, 'the Phantom' also works as a description of how his face actually looks: yellow skin, a few wisps of hair on his head, and no nose. What's more is that the Phantom in the original book was born with his defect - and many adaptations have him starting out handsome but getting scarred in the prologue (though the musical and 2004 film restore the born defected backstory).

In Disney's Cinderella they are genuinely unsightly and the stepmother is quite old. Various retellings and adaptations make the sisters cuter - highlighting their ugly personalities rather than their appearances - and the stepmother usually looks much younger. Even in Disney's live action remake, the stepmother is portrayed as an attractive redhead, while the sisters are just garishly dressed (the narration saying they were only ugly on the inside). The Fairy Godmother is another case; originally envisioned as a sweet grandmotherly type, she's become more of a Fairy Sexy with a Pimped-Out Dress.

He was explicitly shown and stated to be ugly in his first appearances, but by the end of the series, he was looking positively suave. This has an in-universe explanation, since before the series started he was shown to be able to influence his appearance by concentrating, but doing it too much would give him migraines. Later in the series it is pointed out that his appearance has been improving because he has been learning to control his powers. He can never do anything about the unnatural gray color of his skin, but by issue 50 or even earlier it is no longer hanging off him freakishly while he is conscious.

Patrick Stewart, who's widely renowned as being handsome for an older bald man, was in his late 50s when he was cast as the elderly version of the character in the first movie adaptation (Xavier is in his early-to-mid 70s in the original trilogy). The younger Charles became a sex symbol within the film fandom after X-Men: First Class, which starred James McAvoy, a Pretty Boy extraordinaire, and the studio had dictated that the actor conserve his thick, wavy tresses for the role. The filmmakers of X-Men: Apocalypse then surpassed this by making Professor X an extremely young-looking 50-year-oldnote McAvoy was 36 during principal photography and wasn't subjected to any ageing make-up Long-Haired Pretty Boy who's glamorous like an '80s fashion model, plus he was lightly objectified for the first time in the movie franchise with a white shirt that had semi-transparent "stripes," and a thin lilac sweater that didn't exactly mask the contour of his pectoral muscles (or even his nipples, for that matter). The younger fangirls who weren't familiar with the comics and/or Stewart's performance genuinely became upset when McAvoy's Xavier lost all of his hair in the third act.

He goes from scowling to moping and then smiling, and he even seems to bulk up a little. His Good Costume Switch helps as well.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time had them as humanoid beings with a tail on their head, large fins on the arms, and webbed feet. The eyes also gave them an alien-like appearance. By The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the design was mostly kept the same, but with more details and their faces were made more humanlike. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild pretties up the Zoras further by giving them a more sleek and slim look, changes their eyes to look more catlike, and their feet are human shaped with webbing in between the toes.

Rococco was made into a woman in the Japanese version of Style Savvy because of his flamboyant appearance. In the sequel however he is much more toned down, lost his facial hair, lost weight, and is a Bishōnen. His hair is also dyed red and blue instead of being black. They don't look like the same character so this worked in the localizations favor. They simply stated the Style Savvy: Trendsetters version of the character was Rococco's son, Rocco.

By the 1970s, her appearance was more conventionally attractive with a smiling face, but in the mid-1980s (approximately 1984-1986) her design became so, so ugly.

In the original novel she's described as a wizened old hag with one eye, and her iconic appearance in the MGM film is a green skinned long-nosed crone. Starting with Wicked she's described in more flattering terms, with her love interest finding her attractive but the author emphasising she's not pretty in a conventional way. The musical makes her more attractive, with only the green skin — and giving her a Pimped-Out Dress instead of rags. Oz the Great and Powerful has the justification of being a prequel, but still shows that she had a human form of a pretty young girl - and was more of a Cute Monster Girl when she gained the green skin. Finally when the witch appears in Once Upon a Time, she's a young and pretty woman who only gets green skin when she's feeling especially jealous.

Progressively Prettier / int_82439e64	comment	The Office (US): The general softening of the cast's appearances goes hand in hand with the show moving away from the oppressive pessimism of Season One towards a goofier, warmer sense of humor. Watch the last episode of Season One and then the first episode of Season Two, it's downright shocking, though the show is about as close to real life as it gets on American television as far as believable looking characters get. It wasn't until Erin came along that the show really pushed beyond what you'll see in a typical office. Michael Scott is a standout example, as he started the series with thinning hair and a somewhat flabby build, but from Season 2 onwards he's got a full head of hair and looks more trim. In the DVD commentary, Pam's actress, Jenna Fischer, mentions that she does her own hair and make-up for the character, at least in the earlier seasons. She has a rule that she won't spend more than a half-hour getting ready, since that's the most that Pam would. However, this all may have changed with "Fancy New Beesly" after she breaks up her engagement and begins pursuing Jim in season 3 and starts wearing her hair down. In the first several seasons of the show, Angela's entire character could be summed up with the phrase "prissy religious judgmental bitch", and it reflected in her appearance. She rarely smiled, dressed like an older woman, wore her hair in unflattering styles and judged perfectly reasonably-dressed women as looking like "whores", for wearing things such as open-toed sandals. As the season went on, she became somewhat more sympathetic, to the point where by the final season we were supposed to be rooting for her and Dwight to reconcile. By that time she had started smiling more, wearing her hair in looser, more flowing styles and even wearing shoes and dresses that she herself would have described as "whorish" in the first few seasons. Dwight even lampshades this: "You're wearing open-toed sandals. When did you become a whore?"

Plenty of adaptations give him an Age Lift to make him a cute teenager - notably the Disney one and Peter Pan. Once Upon a Time went further and cast an eighteen-year-old to play him. Hook too shows him being a teenager at the time of the original story's events. Pan on the other hand casts a twelve-year-old who at least looks like he's Peter's original age. Tiger Lily's attractiveness in the original is not commented on, but she's notably much cuter in the Disney film. Peter Pan has her more in line with the book, but Pan goes ahead and makes her a sexy adult woman. Once Upon a Time likewise keeps her as an adult Action Girl. Captain Hook is a dead ringer for Charles II in the original book and play, and in a lot of the adaptations he's still that. Starting with Peter Pan he retains his look, but the film plays up his sex appeal towards Wendy.

Progressively Prettier / int_89ce309d	comment	Film adaptations of Macbeth: Lady Macbeth throughout the years. The historical person the character is based on was older than Macbeth, and he was her second husband. She's often imagined as approaching middle age, and Orson Welles in his version cast the late-30s Jeanette Nolan. Roman Polanski cast Francesca Annis in his 1971 version - aged twenty-six and considerably prettier than she had been portrayed before - and gave the character a nude sleepwalking scene. The 2006 modernized Australian film likewise had her young and pretty, with a skimpy wardrobe. The 2015 film went backwards and cast Marion Cotillard (who had just turned forty). Then was the infamous Patrick Stewart version that amped up Macbeth's age and reimagined Lady Macbeth as a young trophy wife. The Witches have commonly been depicted as hideous old crones with Ambiguous Genders (Banquo's lines say he can see beards on them). The 2006 Australian film depicted them as sexy Wiccans who proceed to have a foursome with Macbeth when giving him their prophecy. The 2015 film also made them more attractive by creating The Hecate Sisters dynamic with them, meaning two were rather young and pretty (and the oldest was still quite handsome).

Lex Luthor started out as a pudgy, middle-aged man usually dressed in plain grey clothes, but slimmed down dramatically around the time he started wearing his purple and green ensemble. After the mid-80's reboot, Lex was once again portrayed as middle-aged and heavyset man, although one always wearing expensive suits, but he once again became slimmer and younger-looking with time. Some more modern versions of Lex have a body rivaling the likes of Batman, because of Lex's pathological need to be the best at everything.

However, thanks to Mutsumi Inomata's art of the characters, all three, especially Psaro, have become Bishōnen in more recent works.

At the beginning of the film, when they're all social outcasts, they have stringy hair and dress in either their school uniforms or baggy coats (and it's a plot point that Bonnie is considered unattractive). As the film was shot in chronological order, Robin Tunney joked that the studio was getting worried at how "dowdy" the actresses were in the initial days. But as their witch powers grow, their appearances receive far more care and attention - with more make-up, flattering clothes, and attractive hairstyles. Nancy gets a full on Adrenaline Makeover to become a very sexy Goth. Or as Rachel True puts it...

This trope hit most of the young female characters (above a certain age, of course) like a truck, and some of the older ones, at around the time author Eiichiro Oda got married. Even Hollywood Homely characters like Tashigi and Kaya now have said Impossible Hourglass Figures. Oda freely admits he deliberately invoked this trope in a case of Author Appeal. One of the non-female examples, Tony Tony Chopper turned from this◊ to this. May be more justified than Nami or Vivi, as Chopper actually can shapeshift as part of his power set. The other guys have gotten this too, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji in particular went from lean and decent looking to super handsome, thick-necked, muscular hunks all thanks to the Hotter and Sexier artstyle effecting them as much as the female characters. Similarly Shanks started off as round-faced (similar to Luffy) but by Marineford has angular features and more serious eyes.

Progressively Prettier / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: A common occurrence in remakes is the prettying-up of much of the cast, partially due to Art Evolution. Some of the characters in the PokÃ©mon Gold and Silver remakes are more attractive now than they were in the original. Morty is a prime example. Originally only somewhat attractive, in the remakes he's a full-on Bishonen. Will and the now named Ariana and Archer are also more attractive in the remakes than in the original. The rival was redesigned to at least look somewhat older, is quite thinner, and much more of a Bishonen with his hair now cut shorter, the male player character also looks somewhat taller and older, lost a lot of weight, and is drawn to look cuter than mischievous-looking; even Pryce is upgraded from a somewhat ugly old man to looking very good for his age. Applies to the PokÃ©mon Red and Blue remakes FireRed and LeafGreen as well, though it's most noticeable with Red and Blue, who went from being two average looking, if maybe a bit scrawny, looking boys in PokÃ©mon Red and Blue to Bishōnen who look at least two years older than they should be in the remakes. In their initial appearance the male swimmer class in PokÃ©mon was meant to be Fan Disservice. In later generations, they weren't hideous but still meant to be a joke with their macho poses and scrawny physique. By Generation VII however, they were given an athletic and muscular build, becoming Mr. Fanservice. Hex Maniacs. Originally looking like homely girls in witch attire (with Blank White Eyes in the Japanese version of PokÃ©mon Ruby and Sapphire), upon returning in PokÃ©mon X and Y they received a considerably cuter and more feminine redesign.

His hair also goes from grey to dark brown, his eyes go from brown to blue (making him resemble blue-eyed-brown-haired Snake), and his build goes from skinny, to slim, to broad-shouldered and fit. Not to mention his fashion sense improves, from the incredibly ugly and oversized duffle coat he wears in the first, to a stylish, slimly-cut white coat partnered with black gloves in the fourth. Lampshaded in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance where Raiden mentions to Sunny that Otacon used to be a nerd and once he got into his 30s, became "much more attractive."

Progressively Prettier / int_b4996199	comment	Spider-Man: Peter Parker is a classic example. In The Amazing Spider-Man (1963), as drawn by Steve Ditko, Peter is a skinny, thin-faced geek and Spider-Man is thin and more spider-esque. When John Romita Sr - a former romance comic artist - took over the pencilling duties, Peter Parker became significantly more handsome and Spider-Man took on a more muscle-bound appearance. Maybe Handwaved in that when Ditko was drawing it, Spidey was a teenager, and as he got older and got real exercise to go with his superstrength, his frame may well have filled out naturally. The artists' notes in the first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man bear this out: in that series, he's a high-schooler again, and he's drawn explicitly scrawnier and ganglier than the main universe version, with a note that he is supposed to be very thin, not having built up muscle from years of webslinging. Peter does look less spindly and more conventionally attractive even towards the end of Ditko's run. That change began with The Amazing Spider-Man (Lee & Ditko) #8 when Flash Thompson broke his glasses, and Peter decides he doesn't need to do that much Clark Kenting, considering the spider bite corrected his vision. This is acknowledged in "Along Came a Child" from Marvel Comics Presents #120, which features a teenager who turns out to be the boy who witnessed Peter climbing up a building in Amazing Fantasy #15. Having figured out that Spider-Man is the same odd boy he saw years ago, he strikes a deal with J. Jonah Jameson, and the Daily Bugle publishes a police sketch that accurately depicts Peter as he appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15. Of course, Peter no longer looks like that. Also, surprisingly enough, Gwen Stacy. In her early appearances, as drawn by Steve Ditko, she had highly, angular eyebrows, pinned up hair, a constant haughty expression, and fairly modest clothing; her features were sharp and angular and although she could occasionally pull off a nice pout, the fact that lots of characters called her pretty was the only hint to the fact that she actually was so. But when John Romita took over the drawing, Gwen was softened, her features became more angelic, she let her hair down, gaining her iconic bangs and headband, and she dressed in much sexier clothes. Averted with Mary-Jane Watson who was The Faceless and The Ghost for most of Ditko's run albeit it was implied that she was quite gorgeous (based on the reactions of Liz Allan and Betty Brant who saw her before Peter did), but it's a Riddle for the Ages how Ditko's version of Mary-Jane would have looked like. When he was first introduced, Eddie Brock was a very poorly kempt middle-aged man, and although he was very muscular, he had an oversized, grotesque frame. All of this was meant to signify that he was in a poor place mentally and that he was clearly villainous. As he became more heroic, he got more of a standard Heroic Build and looked about a decade younger, to the point where nowadays he's a bona fide Chick Magnet. It even happened to Aunt May for a few issues when Romita took over! Luckily, the fans complained she looked too young and she was soon back to her old appearance.

Carrie (1976) was the first which did apply Adaptational Attractiveness to Carrie White, but Sissy Spacek was not conventionally beautiful and made her believable as an outcastnote She didn't wash her face for her audition, smeared vaseline in her hair and wore an old dress her mother had made for her in grade school. and the rest of the girls in her class were not unattractive but they looked like a mix of normal teenage girls. In the 2002 film, Chris, Tina and Helen look like models, Sue still resembles her counterpart from the 76 film and Angela Bettis - although much slimmer than the book describes Carrie - goes down a Beauty Inversion route. Come the 2013 film and everyone is supermodel good looking, the guys are all in great shape and Carrie is now played by the hottie ChloÃ« Grace Moretz.

Winona Ryder is dressed down to look like someone who wouldn't believably be caring too much about looking perfect. By Season 2, her hair has grown out and she's wearing more make-up. It's justified by her son now being home and safe, as well as a romance with Nice Guy Bob (where she'd probably feel like making more of an effort). Eleven is first seen with a shaved head thanks to her time in the Hawkins lab. Even when her hair is growing out in Season 2, her style is rather simple, due to being in hiding in the woods with only Hopper to rely on for clothes. By Season 3, her hair has grown out longer to be more styled and she also gets a shopping montage trying on pretty dresses; this is to reflect her getting the chance to be a normal teenager for a change.

She always had a gloomy expression due to having a Power Incontinence that prevented her from talking to other people. When she lost this "incontinence", she actually started smiling and soon after did a Heelâ€“Face Turn. Due to Art Evolution, her narrow eyes widened and became prettier, and the writer seems to have forgotten that her lips used be that visible.

But that wasn't enough, apparently, as she was later "hyper-evolved" into a more human appearance. Incidentally, since she was (apparently) originally fairly attractive by snake alien standards, she considered her semi-humanoid form hideous.

Progressively Prettier / int_c346fa94	comment	In the original New Mutants run Wolfsbane had short, fuzzy, unflattering red hair (implied to be unable to grow very long at all...when she's in her human form) and a flat chest and at times would express her unhappiness at not being as beautiful as her teammate Dani Moonstar. She was (early on) depicted with a snub, almost doglike nose, sharp fangs, narrow eyes; an animalistic cast to her shape that was lost even by the end of the first issue of the regular comic. Nowadays she varies in height, often has long flowing hair and, depending on the artist, is much bustier â€” when she first turns up in New Mutants Vol. 2 she's an outright bombshell â€” though her run in X-Factor has put her back to her original appearance. Her teammate Karma, a Vietnamese girl, was also depicted in an unflattering way compared to her more modern depictions, with a pug nose, downturned mouth and unflattering hairstyle. At least part of why Rahne looked as she did was her own powers interacting with with her severe problems concerning body image (she wants to be pretty, doesn't think she can be, thinks she shouldn't care because vanity's a sin and thus feel guilty for it, then feels guilty for that... thanks a lot, Rev. Craig.) Mind you, her appearance in X-Factor deviates from the standard attractive female look but is in no way ugly, she has some Annie Lennox kinda androgynous charm to it. When originally created, artist Bob McLeod intended Rahne to be fuller figured at 14 (issue 2), and Dani to be flat at 15. They are, too; for the first run. Rahne mostly envies Dani her long hair. '-it only grows when it's cut, and only t'this length...'

He transitioned to dressing in a much more expensive-looking Victorian-influenced style based on a Byronic Hero/"cheerful gothic horror" concept, though the scruffiness remained as a significant part of his character (so his clothes were usually crushed, faded, missing buttons, done up wrong, etcetera). In his final season, however, a new producer ordered the costume designer to toss out the "shabby" look in favour of something that was "new and shocking", had a "polished" look and could be sold as Official Cosplay Gear. His last outfit is based on 1920s Russian military gear and has virtually no scruffy elements besides his Messy Hair.

Progressively Prettier / int_c7f59f7d	comment	Teen Titans: Inverted with Raven in the New Teen Titans run, where she started out looking like a typical superheroine, and gradually her face got paler and sharper to the point where she didn't even look human, much less attractive (from the neck-up, anyway). To hear Marv Wolfman and George Perez tell it, this was purely due to Perez's evolving skill and subconscious awareness of her true nature, and they almost didn't notice themselves until they were ready to bring in Trigon, whereupon it became a plot point. Played straight after Perez left the title and Eduardo Barretto took over drawing Raven, although later artists would bring back her narrow features. After she was resurrected in the 00s era, Raven reverted to being more conventionally attractive and rounder-faced, and one moment even involved her getting a raven-shaped tramp stamp (which disappeared with later artists' depictions). To some of her fans' chagrin, she was also depicted with larger breasts in an attempt to make her look sexier, while George Perez had made it a point that Raven was supposed to be smaller-chested as part of her dancer build. The first Terra was depicted as having exaggerated buck teeth, being more on the petite side, and having short feathered hair. Later flashbacks and her Blackest Night appearance tweaked her to have long hair, a taller and more shapely body, and no buck teeth to be seen. Duela Dent, aka "Joker's Daughter" (among her other aliases) stated out with a huge pointed chin and exaggerated, clown-like features when in costume, along with having a wild purple bouffant wig. When she was brought back by Devin Grayson and Phil Jimenez in JLA/Titans, she only wore white face paint and looked much less exaggerated. Before her death in Countdown, she was also depicted as being attractive in costume, along with her hair now being red. When depicted out of costume initially, she just looked like an average teenage girl with short hair. However, this trope got inverted for a while when George Perez drew her as a plain, heavyset woman in her New Teen Titans cameo, with bad makeup and gaudy violet hair. A Team Titans cameo then showed her as a gaunt and haggard-looking mental patient, before Jimenez and other later artists would draw her to be an attractive young woman with a bob cut.

Then again, since an Endless' appearance is affected by those perceiving them, this does make a degree of sense; his siblings similarly go up and down the scale of attractiveness throughout the series. Even Despair, who's supposed to be hideous, has a few appearances in the collage art for her entry in Endless Nights that look pretty nice if you're the sort who likes women with some meat on their bones.

In the first season she was presented as a wholesome school teacher, but still indulged in plenty of flattering clothes - normally by way of the Sexy Sweater Girl trope. Flanderization somehow led to her suddenly dressing extremely conservatively in the fourth season onward - to the point where fans were wondering why the character had become so frumpy. In-universe, she goes from believing she's a young single woman who was born in the real world to learning she's actually married, not only a mother but a grandmother, despite still having the appearance of a young woman, and remembering she's from another world where people dress like it's the Middle Ages.

Progressively Prettier / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Already played by Hollywood Homely Alyson Hannigan, Willow became steadily more attractive as the show proceeded. Word of God said that the executives wanted Willow to look more hip and less nerdy. She started wearing clothes that were more 'adorkably cute' than nerdy - with plenty of fuzzy sweaters and eccentric t-shirts. In the college seasons, her hairstyles started becoming more fashionable. By Season 6 she was about as fashionably dressed as the other females on the show. In this case, the clothing change is used to show Willow becoming more confident and powerful. Buffy herself had more of a Girl Next Door appearance in the first season. The make-up artist described her as 'earthy', and she contrasted with the more vampy Cordelia. Wordof God is that they then decided to make her more like a Valley Girl - resulting in bleached blonde hair, colourful make-up and trendier clothes. Tara was introduced as a somewhat unkempt character, wearing baggy clothes and messy hair constantly in her eyes, used to show her as a Shrinking Violet. As her character came out of her shell, her wardrobe and hair received more attention, culminating in the Musical Episode - where she gets a song about how Willow has helped her come out of her shell, sung while wearing a flattering corset.

As different artists took over the character, her body proportions became increasingly more realistic, eventually landing on Fanservice. Rather than thick rimmed glasses, she nows wears rimless round ones, and frequently replaces them with contacts, usually during dates or parties. It is acknowledged in-story that she's supposed to be very attractive, though. Surprisingly, this trope was also invoked by Death. Early stories had the Grim Reaper's face covered by her robe, but implied to be a skeleton. More recent books give her a ghastly and pale, but human face, and change the proportions on the robe to suggest breasts.

Arthur Conan Doyle thought that the contemporary illustrations of the character were too attractive. Over the years, Holmes has been subject to a great deal of Adaptational Attractiveness, being portrayed by handsome actors such as Christopher Lee, Rupert Everett, Robert Downey Jr., and Benedict Cumberbatch. Inverted, however, with Watson, who was something of a ladies' man in the books, and was rather intelligent in his own right, but turned into Holmes's dumpy idiot sidekick in many adaptations thanks to the popularity of the Basil Rathbone films. In the 1980s, the Soviet adaptation and later the Granada version of Sherlock Holmes restored Watson to his original characterization, and most live-action adaptations (film and series) have followed this example.

Progressively Prettier / int_ef7b3325	comment	Fantastic Four: The Thing. His irregular, monstrous appearance in FF #1 gradually normalized; by the second year, Ben looked like he does now. John Byrne felt that this took away from the tragedy of the character, and he had Ben regress to his original look, apparently intending it to be permanent. (Byrne's views were backed up by a fan letter complaining that the Thing was ugly now, when he used to be so handsome.) Byrne ultimately restored the Thing to his iconic appearance, but would not by a long shot be the last writer to "uglify" Ben. The same could be said for Ben's human form. In FF #1, Ben is a normal man who looked ugly since he was a more antagonistic character toward the other three members of the FF. Later, in stories where the Thing (now a more lovable character) temporarily reverts back to his old self, Ben Grimm looks ruggedly handsome. The evolution of the Thing's monstrous appearance was commented on in Marvel Two-in-One #50, in which Ben travels to the past to cure himself (not realizing that he'll only create an alternate universe upon doing so). Upon seeing his early monster form in person, he thinks to himself, "Holy... was I really that ugly? No wonder I always wanted to throttle Reed!" At the end of the story, he returns to the present and tells Reed that his time-travelling trip wasn't for naught. "After seein' my old self face-to-face like that, I don't feel so bad about the kisser I got now. Heck, compared to him, I'm a reg'lar Robert Redford!" It should be noted that Reed Richards and Johnny Storm also had this, though to a far lesser extent than the Thing. In the first couple of issues, when the comic was still more 1950s sci-fi than 1960s superheroes, the male members of the FF were not that attractive. Reed was gaunt and looked even older than usual, while Johnny was a short, round-faced kid. After they got their superhero costumes in issue #3, both of them gradually gained more "heroic" (i.e. conventionally good-looking) builds and faces.

Progressively Prettier / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed: The Halliwell sisters started the first season out with fairly ordinary and normal clothes and rather plain hairstyles. Phoebe was the pretty one of the sisters, but even she wasn't that fashionable. Season 3 showed the clothes becoming far more fashionable, the girls frequently made up and far more flattering hairstyles. By Season 5, they were incredibly vampy. It's a joke among fans that Alyssa Milano's belly-button deserved top billing in the credits. This is apparently due to Executive Meddling demanding "more skin". Part of it is also reflective of the sisters' powers and confidence growing, and their careers changing - Prue goes from the corporate world to an independent freelance photographer, Piper gives up managing someone else's restaurant to opening her own club, Phoebe becomes a local celebrity advice columnist and Paige trades in the working world to be a full time whitelighter. Demons as a whole got progressively prettier too, or at least progressively more human-looking. Some of the early demons were hideous or scary, while many of the later demons just looked like dark-haired people in leather. There was a justification for Cole, as he was going through the Heelâ€“Face Revolving Door and how demonic he looked depended on what side he was on, but sometimes demons just looked human with little reason. There was something of a justification for this; apparently upper-level demons were the ones able to assume a human form. Thus as the sisters' powers increased, the more powerful (and therefore human-looking) demons would come after them.

Progressively Prettier / int_f3e1f424	comment	This was always the plan with Guinevere from Merlin. The costume designers and makeup artists dressed down Angel Coulby to the point where some unpleasant fans complained that she wasn't pretty enough to play the part at all, only for her appearance to get more care and attention as the show went on. Fast-forward to series five and the first on-set photographs of Queen Guinevere are posted on the internet — the fanbase responds by going nuts over how beautiful she looks. There could arguably be a justification based on Season 2 being when her romance with Arthur starts, and Gwen trying to make more effort since she'll be seeing him around the castle each day.

Progressively Prettier / int_f475f785	comment	Legion: Although this show takes place in an Alternate Universe which is separate from the X-Men Film Series, the showrunners nonetheless continue the trend that began with X-Men: First Class of prettying up the young Charles Xavier in comparison to the original comic book depiction. Harry Lloyd's version of the character has a head full of hair instead of being bald, note Lloyd has disclosed that Noah Hawley told him to not shave his head for the role and he's a Pretty Boy with elegant facial features, gentle green eyes, a gracefully long neck and a slim build. His good looks, along with his empathy and kindness, accentuate his image as a romantic figure when he courts Gabrielle, his Love Interest who later becomes his wife. Because they do get married on the show (unlike in the comics), the producers wanted to avoid the Ugly Guy, Hot Wife trope by presenting Charles as one half of a very beautiful couple. note Lloyd got the part without having to audition, so the showrunners had purposely cast a gorgeous actor to play Xavier.

This part of her character was downplayed as the series went on, with her being presented as just as sexy as Monica and Rachel.

Progressively Prettier / int_f6fe1bfc	comment	Sabrina the Teenage Witch's first season featured some incredibly frumpy clothing and hairstyles for the two aunts - Caroline Rhea later saying she looked like she was going to a coronation for a "very senior royal". Season 2 started playing up the attractiveness and sex appeal of both of them. Coincidentally this is where Hilda was now portrayed as a Serial Romeo who had (to quote Sabrina) "dated every male life form in the solar system".

Progressively Prettier / int_f7ed2fd7	comment	This applies to Japanese mythology as well: the word ningyo was originally applied to creatures who were essentially fish but with a very ugly human face. But since the popularity of The Little Mermaid (1989), ningyo has been used for that much more beautiful interpretation of a half-fish person.

Progressively Prettier / int_f8956ef3	comment	A majority of the characters from YuYu Hakusho, mostly the ones who aren't meant to look too attractive in the first place. The attractive ones are all consistently drawn. Kuwabara in particular looked hideous in his early appearances, but during the Art Shift his facial features became less detailed, which made him look gentler. Elder Toguro zig-zags the trope; he started out looking ghoulish, looked pretty when he got the spotlight, then his looks toned down to somewhere in-between as his craziness became more pronounced.

Initially sporting a hideous hairdo, sharp teeth and jaundice yellow skin,◊ and while KO was able to give her (with Mr. Logic's help) a better hairdo in her first major appearance she didn't really get a better look until it was eventually toned down across her various episodes until she became a total knockout.◊

Progressively Prettier / int_fb8549c	comment	Deadpool: Deadpool's appearance was horrific when it was first seen, due to the artificial origin of his healing factor reacting with incurable cancer. Over time, it changed and simplified from "bubbles and nodules of flesh with random hair" to "flesh-coloured de-uglified Ben Grimm", and some artists go even further. In Cable & Deadpool, about 75% of his skin actually looked perfectly normal, with the rest just resembling bad acne. Didn't stop people from nearly retching when they saw him on the street. This is another that goes back and forth depending on who's drawing him, since sometimes he looks alright, others he's back to his horrific look. Since his power has been described as leaving his body tissue in constant, dynamic flux, this makes sense. There was a time he was given the face of Thom Cruz, and spent most of the issue trying to get rid of it.

Come the 2019 film and Edith is given a Fanservicey scene in lingerie (ironically when revealing her pregnancy).
