While in Real Life the concept of beauty is very subjective, in fiction there is a clear consensus on beauty. In addition, beauty tends to be dynamic, as some characters get uglier or more beautiful than before. This scale is to show how beautiful someone is to the rest of the cast, not to the audience (differences happen). Please note that this isn't a meta trope, nor a subjective trope. All beauty should be measured as it is portrayed inside the story. Related to I Just Want to Be Beautiful. |

In Zoey 101, James is considered "World Class beauty" while Logan is considered Common beauty or "Special average". Lola is "World Class Beauty", since many people mention how beautiful she is, Zoey is also considered "World Class" although to a lesser extent than Lola. |

Zoya and Genya from The Grishaverse are World Class Beauties (until Genya becomes an Imperfect Beauty in the second book). The Darkling also fits in that category, even after getting lightly scarred by a volcra attack. David is often described as Just Average, which leads a lot of people to question why World Class Beauty Genya is into him. It's debatable whether Nikolai is a World Class Beauty or a Common Beauty, because a fair amount might boil down to sheer charisma. Mal gets a lot of female attention (notably from World Class Beauty Zoya), but he's probably in the Common Beauty category. Alina constantly describes herself as plain and mousy, placing her in Special Average at the very least at the beginning of the story. Nina is a Common Beauty, of the Big Beautiful Woman variety. Matthias is the Sexy Scandinavian while Wylan is the Pretty Boy. |

Bleach: Retsu Unohana is World Class beauty. Word of God says she's the most gorgeous woman in all Soul Society. However, characters don't particularly act differently around her. Byakuya Kuchiki is World Class beauty. He is regularly voted as Soul Society's most beautiful man by the Shinigami Women's Institute's. The only reason he doesn't figure on magazine covers more often is because the Shinigami Women's Institute find it very difficult to get pictures of him. It's practically a war, with the women employing paparazzi-style tactics on one hand and Byakuya retaliating with an army of ninja bodyguards on the other. Ichigo is Special Average or Common beauty, Riruka mentions how handsome he is, but that's it. |

The Cosby Show: The Season 4 episode "Theogate" – where Theo is kicked off the track team for an incident and tries to conceal this from his parents – played with this through an unseen waitress at a fast food restaurant. This part of the plot featured Theo and a fellow track teammate being waited on by a severely obese and certainly ugly waitress, and the two – perhaps upset that an attractive waitress wasn't waiting on them (even though nothing is ever said as much) – make cruel jokes about her to the point where she runs off in tears. (Of course, Clair is able to get the truth out of Theo and tells him to apologize to the waitress.) | |

The Windrose Chronicles: Joanna is Just Average on account of being an Unfazed Everyman. She's described as fit and solid despite being less than five foot tall and with dark eyebrows and 'too-curly' hair. Her friends tell her she would be pretty if she made an effort, but she's too nerdy and timid to bother. Caris is World Class. Joanna describes him as looking like a TV ad, with a 'Nordic beauty' look about hin. Antryg is Ugly Cute, with a thin and gawky build, a peculiar face where every feature looks too big for the bone structure, a huge beaky nose, a scary Cheshire Cat Grin, a mop of messy and greying curly hair and a dress sense that consists of oversized clothing and lots of cheap sparkly jewellery. But he also has likeable, kind eyes, a graceful demeanor, large but gentle hands and a deep voice 'as beautiful and flamboyant as an embroidered brocade'. Joanna and Caris find him strangely fascinating to look at, and he gets picked up by a woman for casual sex within minutes of dimension-travelling into Los Angeles despite repeatedly telling her he was a mad wizard from another world. (He's a Comic-Book Fantasy Casting Tom Baker, what do you expect?) |

An interesting case in The Last Unicorn, where Lady Amalthea starts off as a high-end Divine Beauty (to the point where she makes anything she touches or wears seem beautiful too) and slowly fades to a mere World Class Beauty. This is because she is a unicorn turned mortal, and as her humanity becomes more evident, her beauty becomes more ordinary. | |

The Simpsons: Patty and Selma are Super Ugly: they're portrayed as uncaring and unkempt with their physical presence, and, In-Universe, are occasionally mistaken for men. Moe Szyslak's "cauliflower ear, lizard lips, little rat eyes, caveman brow, and fish snout" often drop him as low as Ambiguously Monstrous in the eyes of strangers. Part of his Multiple-Choice Past implies his parentage may not be entirely human. However, he's upgraded to World Class Beauty in the episodes "Pygmoelian" following plastic surgery, earning him a role on a soap opera. Homer Simpson is Normal Ugly, being considered just attractive enough to be considered a Kavorka Man. Often, it's implied that this is a problem with his obesity and baldness than anything else: whenever he does get in shape and/or grows his hair back, he instantly jumps straight up to Common Beauty. Marge's appearance hasn't changed over the run of the show, but she's treated as Common Beauty in the earlier seasons and World Class Beauty in the later ones. |

Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is described as being "easy on the eyes" but his white hair coloring and androgyny supposedly makes him seem a little bit weird and creepy. This creepiness is somewhat more apparent in the Japanese voice performances, where Raiden was deliberately cast with an actor much older than Raiden's mid-20s appearance to give him an eerie, ageless feel. | |

Calling Belldandy, Urd, Peorth, or any of the "Special" residents in Keiichi's home anything other than "Divine beauty", would be Blatant Lies and a very, very, VERY bad idea. Campus queen Sayoko is only a simple everyday World Class beauty who gets constantly out-glamoured by the goddesses. Poor thing. |

The Appearance Attribute in the Old World of Darkness measures looks which, normally, goes from one to five i.e 'Normal Ugly' to 'World Class Beauty'. Anything beyond five is 'Divine Level Beauty' and it means your character is a walking Masquerade breach. The Sidhe from Changeling: The Dreaming gets two free dots in Appearance which places most of them in 'Divine Level Beauty'. The Nosferatu from Vampire: The Masquerade is a vampire Clan cursed with the supernatural ugliness that goes way below average. Most of them fall under ''Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman' while the "prettiest" of them are no better than 'Ambiguously Monstruous'. |

Naruto: Sasuke is "world class beauty"; his good looks are mainly commented on by his admirers. Tsunade and Kushina are possible examples of World Class beauty, as basically everyone who claps eyes on them comments on it. Gaara and Naruto are described as "Common beauty" or "Special Average". |

In One Hundred Years of Solitude, while most characters oscillate between just average and imperfect beauty at most, there is Remedios the Beauty, who begins as World Class Beauty and gradually becomes a Divine one, and the only reason why she hasn't fully stepped into Intolerable Beauty is because her family is actively trying to tone her down. Also, she's mentally about five years old, is totally unaware of her own attractiveness, and when informed that people haveactually died because of being distracted by her beauty she immediately qualified the deceased as being the dumb ones. | |

Shrek examples: Shrek is considered Super Ugly in his ogre form, and world Class beauty in his human form.(Considering the enormous level of attention he receives from the 3 girls in the stable and the people of the city.) Prince Charming is considered World Class beauty or Low Divine.. Princess Fiona is considered World Class beauty in her human form. |

Based on the amount of attention she gets (mainly from very minor characters), Aerie from Baldur's Gate II might just qualify for World Class beauty. By the same logic, at least Jaheira and perhaps other female party members as well as qualify for Common beauty. | |

Even when Morbius was human, people used to laugh behind his fiance's back for being with someone as ugly as him. Being turned into a living vampire made his appearance even worse: people describe him as looking like "the back-end of a bulldog", and one of Spider-Man's first thoughts when coming face-to-face with him for the first time was "His face—it's hideous!" Morbius himself is shown to be pretty ashamed of his appearance on occasion. Being a brilliant doctor, he has said one of the reasons he wants to find a cure for his condition is because otherwise, no one would ever again see him as anything but a monster. | |

Wonder Woman, in the early years of her comic, was the frequent subject of unwanted (and sometimes violently obsessive) courtship from males of many species, including a giant, sapient amoeba. This would suggest Divine level (although a pair of glasses and businesslike hairdo still rendered her unappealing to the normal human Steve Trevor). The modern version of the character is still considered World class, which is to be expected since she was explicitly given the gift of beauty at birth by the goddess Aphrodite. | |

Harry Potter: Severus Snape and Pansy are normal ugly, Hermione is Flawed average or Common beauty when she wants to be, given that Harry describes her as "pretty" during the Yule Ball (though she's implied to get a bit prettier in general after her front teeth are shrunk a bit and like Harry and Ron, grows out of the typical awkward teenage stage), Cho and Ginny are considered (by Harry) World Class beauty, while Luna is Imperfect beauty. Of course, this is all limited by Harry's perceptions; he has a major crush on Cho, he's in love with Ginny, and the Yule Ball is more or less the only time he even notices Hermione's looks. The majority are avoided in the film by the Adaptational Attractiveness. | |

Souma Saiki of Sakura Gari is a World Class Beauty; he can use his looks to get what he wants, has many lovers and had admirers since he was a child, not that it was a good thing. Masataka is a Common Beauty; he is good-looking but only Souma, who's in love with him, comments on his appearance. | |

Ahiru from Princess Tutu is a Cool Average. Despite not being described as the most attractive person, her personality and her happy disposition made Fakir fall in love with her. Rue / Princess Kraehe is described as a "world class" by her classmates. She is envied for both her beauty and her talent in ballet by a lot of characters. Mytho (at least from Ahiru's point of view) is described as divine level, due to the fact that Ahiru became completely obsessed with him, even becoming Princess Tutu for him. It wasn't love as revealed in the final episode, because Kraehe was the one who was really in love with him. |

In Interviews with Monster Girls, Sakie Satou is easily Divine level due to her nature as a succubus and her beauty having a supernatural effect on those around her. This isn't necessarily a good thing for her, since she attempts to tone down her beauty by wearing very baggy clothes and even then is still considered a world-class beauty. | |

In The Kingkiller Chronicle series, the fey creature Felurian is in the Divine beauty category, basically being a sex goddess with whom men fall instantly in love and presumably die either from exhaustion or separation. Then there's Denna, who from Kvothe's point of view is a World Class beauty. However, there are some subtle hints from other characters that Denna is merely Common or Imperfect beauty, implying that Kvothe's impressions are skewed by his love for her. But because she is constantly with other male suitors and essentially lives off her looks, she probably is rather beautiful. Most other women in the series fall into the Common beauty category. | |

In Neon Genesis Evangelion, there are numerous examples. Rei Ayanami, by Word of God, was intended as an Imperfect Beauty who fell into the Uncanny Valley. She is described as beautiful, but nonetheless, her lack of emotions put her in the Imperfect beauty. However, in Real Life the perception of her is drastically different. Misato fits into the same category, being attractive enough to attract several admirers, but having a large scar across her chest. Asuka is described as a World Class beauty, according to Shinji's friends, who nonetheless dislike her because of her personality. Shinji himself could probably be classified as "common beauty", given that he's stated to be good-looking in-universe, and shown to have a few fangirls in episode 6, but his looks alone weren't enough for anyone to notice him before he told his classmates he was a mecha pilot. He must get it from his parents, who were both lusted-after by multiple coworkers. Kaworu was even explicitly referred to as "divine beauty" in some early scripts. Shinji, who had previously shown a lot of interest in boobies and the like, promptly reacts with a blush when he first gazed upon his face. |

The Whateley Universe has a few examples of this: The "thornies" and most of Faction 3 would be classed as monstrous. Fey is a Divine beauty due to her glamour that she can't turn off although she would be at least world class without it. Despite actually being a Lovecraftian horror, Sara comes across as a Divine beauty. Most of the exemplars are World Class beauties. |

Several examples of various levels from the Total Drama series: Justin is Divine Level Beauty so that nearly every woman (and several men and even animals) fall instantly in love with him. Lindsay, Alejandro and Heather are World Class beauties, with numerous characters mentioning their attractiveness. However, unlike Justin, no one loses control of themselves simply by looking at them (Alejandro comes close, but even he has to speak before his charm fully kicks in). Gwen, Izzy, Duncan, Trent, Courtney, Bridgette etc. are common beauties. A couple of people call each of them hot, but that's it. |

Emily Crowe of Desolation Jones is an interesting case. She was a very attractive agent who specialized in "Honey Trap" seduction missions and underwent experimental surgery designed to cause overproduction of sex pheromones. It backfired, and she produces a smell that triggers Arachnid Reaction, making her a type II in terms of looks alone, type IV to the reader and Jones (who's unaffected) and a type XIV to everyone else in-universe. | |

In the original Final Fantasy VII, Cloud as himself is a Flawed Beauty - he's convincingly good-looking enough to pass as a former SOLDIER 1st Class and more than a few women (and Mukki) in game are immediately attracted to his looks (Johnny describes him as being a 'playboy'). On the other hand, he's also seen as overly intimidating and with Creepy Blue Eyes that are not well-liked (though Aeris likes them and one NPC finds them sexy). Several other characters (including Cid) describe him as being unpleasantly odd in demeanor, likely the effect of his winning personality. Cloud in a dress is Uncanny Average, described euphemistically as being 'healthy-looking', and said to be 'not bad' if you don't look closely. 'She' is the Don's least favorite, and even if you dress 'her' well enough to make the Don pick 'her', he still finds her a bit suspicious... | |

Black Widow's portrayal fluctuates between Common and World Class Beauty. Iron Man 2 emphasized her Ms. Fanservice aspects, whereas in Captain America: The Winter Soldier she was acknowledged as attractive but nobody made a big deal out of it, and she was able to go undercover without attracting too much attention because of her looks. That said, it is also worth noting that in the former, she was intentionally made-up and emphasising her looks for the mission at hand, and in the latter, she was much more plainly and practically dressed, with minimal make-up (by film character standards, anywhere). | |

The character Chandra in "Rising Stars" had the power of causing everyone who observed her to see her as the observer's own idea of the perfect woman. She couldn't turn it off, so she was treated as a Divine or World Class beauty, although she was merely above-average under the illusion. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959) plays with this in one episode where a woman undergoes plastic surgery to become beautiful because she falls into the Most Horrible Ever category (there's a village made just for ugly people so nobody would be forced to look at them). Of course being The Twilight Zone there's a twist: she turns out to be what many viewers would consider at least somewhat pretty, as she is played by Donna Douglas. It's just that everyone in their world is hideous with pig noses and their beauty standards are built around that. | |

Metal Gear: Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is described as being "easy on the eyes" but his white hair coloring and androgyny supposedly makes him seem a little bit weird and creepy. This creepiness is somewhat more apparent in the Japanese voice performances, where Raiden was deliberately cast with an actor much older than Raiden's mid-20s appearance to give him an eerie, ageless feel. In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, the BB Corps are physically on the top end of World Class, but in practice are terrifying Imperfect beauties due to their animalistic robot suits and unstable personalities. Snake is implied to be an ex-bottom-end-of World Class who is now Ugly as a result of his age, its effect on his appearance likened by Drebin to the effect of the BB Corps's suits. Big Boss is specifically noted to be so charismatic and attractive he is able to demand undying loyalty even from his enemies with it. His men are repeatedly shown to beg for more when he beats them up. |

Komi Can't Communicate: Komi is on the line between World-Class and Divine; everyone who encounters her considers her the most beautiful girl they've ever seen, to the point that during the class elections, she ends up getting elected "Class Goddess" because the students feel that "Class Representative" isn't good enough for her, despite the fact that she didn't even volunteer to run in the first place. In her case, it's very much a case of So Beautiful, It's a Curse. Everyone else considers themselves unworthy of interacting with her, but she has no idea that they view as such, and believes that there's something wrong with her. Combined with the fact that she already has an extreme case of social anxiety, the result is that she can barely manage routine social interactions like ordering a drink at a restaurant or talking to a friend on the phone. | |

Black Jewels: Daemon Sadi is a high-level World Class Beauty, generally recognized (by men as well as women) as the sexiest man in the Realms. Plain Jane Cassidy is Flawed Average, which causes problems with people who expect Queens to be The Beautiful Elite. Jaenelle Angelline is Good-Looking But Uncanny. Being unprecedentedly powerful (by in-universe standards) as well as, on a metaphysical level, not entirely human, she often gives the impression of being a bit off. |

Mehitabel is Cool Average: not conventionally pretty, but still attractive enough to be a Heroic Seductress when required. Mildmay is an Imperfect Beauty, emphasis on Imperfect: he has Face of a Thug issues due to a large, disfiguring facial scar, and tends to be quite self-deprecating about his appearance, but several characters find him attractive anyway. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor is considered a World Class Beauty. As well as being the Mr. Fanservice of his own films, his hunkiness has reached sufficiently memetic levels in-universe that the normally stoic Melinda May (who has never appeared with him on-screen) calls him "dreamy" in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. In Captain America: The First Avenger pre-serum Steve Rogers is Flawed Average, and post-serum Steve Rogers is a low-level World Class Beauty: he's not as famously hunky as Thor, but he attracts plenty of attention, including causing a Distracted by the Sexy incident for the normally composed Peggy Carter with his post-transformation super-abs.

Wade Wilson in Deadpool (2016) starts out as Common Beauty, but is treated as Super Ugly after he gets his scars. (Although some fans consider this a case of Informed Deformity.). Ironically, actor Ryan Reynolds is treated like World Class Beauty by Deadpool, to the point of saying that the only reason he has a successful career is because of how handsome he is. |

In The Princess Bride, the narrator believes beauty to be completely objective. There is a #1 most beautiful, #2 most beautiful, and so forth. The very first sentence is "The year that Buttercup was born, the most beautiful woman in the world was a French scullery maid named Annette." Buttercup starts in the top twenty, but after the removal of a few at the top and a life-changing experience, she becomes #1. So she would be World Class beauty. | |

Griffith from Berserk was a World Class beauty before the Eclipse and a Divine Level beauty following his reincarnation. His Femto form is a little too creepy to be any level of beautiful though. Casca, for her part, is a World Class beauty, particularly in her post-Eclipse Ophelia state. Unfortunately for her, her beauty is very much a curse, as there are a lot of humans and demons that want her, whether she wishes it or not. Guts, meanwhile, may qualify as a World Class/Imperfect Beauty himself, given how much attention he gets from the female members of his new group. In the past, even some guys (Griffith especially) wanted him, and after the Eclipse, he attracts his share of demons as well, and not just because of the Brand on his neck. Guts and Casca's child in his demonic form is Ugly Cute, being very much grotesque due to his cursed existence but still having infantile attributes like chubby cheeks and puckered lips. |

Haruhi Suzumiya: Haruhi Suzumiya herself is described as a World Class beauty by Kyon, who admits that if her personality would improve (which it did) then she would be even more beautiful than Mikuru. Mikuru herself probably at least qualifies for World Class. Yuki is shown to be at least "Special Average". She's seen as very cute, but almost never speaks. Kyon usually focuses his attention and gushes over the more straightforward/obvious beauties Haruhi and Mikuru, but sometimes throws in a small nod about Yuki here and there. This becomes more pronounced in Disappearance where she gains a Shy Blue-Haired Girl personality and When She Smiles. Each of the girls is is implied to have a small legion of fanboys in the school, offset by some fact that makes them completely unapproachable. Haruhi is accepted to be completely weird in the head, Mikuru is universally idolized and anyone who approaches her would immediately be jumped by her other fans, and Yuki pretty much refuses to acknowledge anybody. |

Power Girl has pretty consistently been treated as "the hot one" by other superheroes, with even the polite one-woman-man Superman commenting that she's exceptional. More recently, this gets played for humor regarding her large (even by superhero standards) breasts. | |

Steven Universe has Stevonnie as Divine Beauty, as they effortlessly attract both female and male characters. Rose Quartz would count as World Class Beauty, as she has also been portrayed as extremely beautiful, with Greg and Pearl both commenting on her looks. The other three Crystal Gems, Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl, would count as Common Beauty. Garnet and Pearl have both been the object of crushes (Jamie and Dewey respectively) and Vidalia uses Amethyst as a model for many of her paintings. |

In Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cloud's upgraded to a World Class beauty. His looks catch the eye of two of Wall Market's entertainment moguls as star potential - both Madam M, and the extremely discerning Andrea. After a couple of rounds at the Colosseum he attracts a group of screaming fangirls, multiple characters comment on his perfect bone structure, in Sector 7 his appearance inspires a bunch of new fashion trends for both women and men, and in Sector 5 rumours fly around town about the 'hot mercenary'. When in a dress, he is apparently an awesomely attractive woman as well, with young men breaking up with their girlfriends over her after seeing her in the street, and even the sexless Chadley falling head over heels for her on sight. The Don notices 'she's' muscular and has a very deep voice, but apparently quite likes the idea of a buff trans woman in Visual Kei fashion calling him a disgusting pervert and cussing him out. | |

Death Note: Word of God admits Light and L were designed on opposite ends of the scale to better cloud the audience's perception of character morality. Light, who is "very evil", is often acknowledged to be a World Class Beauty, while L, who is "slightly evil", is anywhere between Ugly Cute and Normal Ugly. Alternatively, the Shinigami, who are neither evil nor good, are Clearly Inhuman, and the unseen Shinigami King is Lovecraftian. | |

Sailor Moon: Rei is a World Class beauty. She gets a modeling gig due to her beauty, and Usagi is so mesmerized by her that she follows her home before truly meeting her. Haruka and Michiru also count in this category. Haruka is attractive enough to have otherwise straight girls fall head over heels for her, and a little bit of flirting is all it takes for a girl taking care of her to become flustered. and Michiru is so beautiful that Usagi mistakes her for a princess, and she and Minako are floored by her beauty. Minako is a Common beauty. Kaitou Ace describes her as a goddess, and she is known as "The Goddess of Beauty" (though it's usually her calling herself that). Other than that, nobody really comments on her appearance. Usagi is a Cool/Special Average. In-universe, she's chubby and nothing remarkable in terms of appearance, but her innocence, idealism and cheer endear her to most of the series' protagonists, and some of the antagonists. Makoto can be considered a Flawed Average, as she is tall and muscular, which people find unattractive in-universe, but has no other notable attributes with regards to her looks. |

The Goblin Emperor: Hesero Nelaran is on the top end of Special Average: visibly middle-aged and "not beautiful," but poised and stylish enough to still impress Maia with her glamour. Former Empress Csoru is a high-level Common Beauty - on a strictly physical level, she's gorgeous, but her looks weren't enough for her to parley her position as Empress Consort into real political influence while her husband was alive, or to distract people from her unpleasant personality in the present. Eshevis Tethimar is another "textually very handsome but not enough to overshadow his massive personality flaws" Common Beauty. Nedao Vechin is a World Class Beauty, with a beautiful voice, refined manners, and elegant dress sense to complement her impressive-in-themselves good looks. Csevet Aisava is Special Average, not noted to be handsome but repeatedly described as graceful and elegant, as well as possessing a beautiful smile. Thara Celehar is Flawed Average, being unhealthily thin and exhausted-looking, with a harsh and gravelly voice. Cala and Csethiro are Average. |

In the Disney Princess franchise, this is Disney so none of the princesses ever fall below World Class beauty standards, though one or two repeatedly get mentioned as being the most beautiful both within their respective universes and sometimes even in Real Life. This is usually visually represented by having the female lead drawn differently in comparison to other female characters. The best example would be that of Belle and the Bimbettes. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Most of the characters are firmly places on attractiveness ladder. Expect the individuals from the opposite ends of it to be paired with each other often. The Maiden of the Faith of the Seven is a Divine beauty, being the religious embodiment of Beauty Equals Goodness and Virgin Power. The Targaryens, an Inhumanly Beautiful Race, could count as this too; though their beauty might get points for being "exotic" to both Essosi and Westerosi. Cersei and Jaime are World-Class Beauties (although by the fourth book, Cercei's looks are starting to go...). Several noble ladies are World-Class beauties, most notably Sansa Stark and Margaery Tyrell. Robert Baratheon (and Renly, who resembles him) in his prime was also one. Sansa's mother Catelyn, after whom the former takes, is probably between World Class and Common; Sansa is said to be prettier than her and Catelyn, while beautiful wasn't renowned for her beauty like Cersei or Sansa are. Lyanna Stark (and by extension Arya, who strongly resembles her) are either "Cool" or "Common" beauties. POVs note Lyanna was beautiful, but unconventionally, and she was far outshined by Cersei-in-her-prime. Arya becomes this when she cleans up nicely. Eddard Stark (and everyone else with the Stark look) and Stannis Baratheon are considered average. Melisandre is Good-looking but Uncanny - she is noted as beautiful, but something is off about her. Brienne is described in a way that would make her Normal Ugly, maybe with a shade of Ugly Cute (given she has pretty eyes), but she looks mannish and acts on it, which is considered extra-repulsive in the society she lives in, so she is considered Super Ugly. Having a part of her face chewed off later by Biter doesn't help her case, moving her to Ugly and Uncanny. Ramsay Bolton is Ugly and Uncanny, with blotchy skin, dry hair, meaty lips, pallid skin and most prominently, ghost-grey eyes described as being all but colourless, like "two chips of dirty ice". His father Roose, is Uncanny Average. While never described as particularly unattractive, Roose's leeching habits (which left him with milk-white skin) and the Bolton family's prominent pale eyes make him look somewhat off, more like a vampire than a normal human. While never mentioned to have them, he is often drawn with raven black locks just to exemplify his Dracula-esque appearance. Beric Dondarrion, albeit an unkempt beauty before his many deaths, eventually downgrades to Ugly and Uncanny after multiple brutal deaths permanently destroyed a piece of his appearance and mind. Tyrion, a hideously deformed dwarf, is Ugly and Uncanny, and becomes Ambiguously Monstrous once he gets his nose cut off. Sandor Clegane, who is also Ugly and Uncanny, has burns covering the entire half of his face (and the other half isn't that much of a looker, either). |

One Piece in-universe examples: Hancock and Shirahoshi are Divine Level beauties. Nami and Robin, especially Nami, and a few others are World Class beauty. Most other female characters, except the Gonks, are Common Beauty. Kokoro's mermaid form is Lovecraftian for the main characters. She traumatizes them so much that when they meet Camie, they say she is the first mermaid they've met, which means they are pretending that Mermaid Kokoro never happened. |

The Brady Bunch: The Season 5 episode "Peter and the Wolf" has Greg needing to find someone to go on a double date with his girlfriend, Sandra, and her cousin, Linda. When Greg admits that Sandra hadn't seen Linda in years nor had seen a recent photo of her, when he is asked to try to tell what Linda looks like, all he has is Sandra's pre-pubescent description of her ("pigtails and braces"). Naturally, all of his shallow buddies run for the exits, assuming Linda is super ug-lee!!!! Rather than admit defeat and wait until Linda goes home, Greg eventually turns to Peter to salvage the date... and it is Peter's faux alter ego Peter Packer who gets to date who turns out to be a super-hot Linda. | |

Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches: Going by the characters' reactions and comments to each other, Shiraishi and Miyamura are World Class Beauty, Itou and Odagiri are Common Beauty, and Yamada himself is Just Average. It gets muddled up somewhat thanks to Generic Cuteness and very similar faces, however, so the major clue to how good a character is looking is not his/her actual appearance, but his/her body language - Miyamura, for example, has a more elegant and charming body language than Yamada. | |

In The Bible, Queen Esther, Joseph, Saul, and Abigail are described as "World Class beauty". For perspective, Esther won a beauty contest of all the women in the vast Persian Empire. Joseph, in Islamic legend, literally has half of the beauty that God gave to mankind. Isaiah 53 says God's servant had "...no form or beauty, that we should look at him: no charm, that we should find him pleasing." Christians interpret this to be Jesus. |

Scooby-Doo: Fred and Daphne are World-Class Beauties. They're both intended to be the attractive members of the Mystery Gang and they're considered as such in-universe. Shaggy falls under Special Average since despite being designed to look less attractive than Fred, he still has a lot of female admirers throughout the franchise, with a few of them admitting he's cute. Velma is Just Average for the most part, being known for her brains rather than her looks. |

Game of Thrones is a bit of a tricky case, because despite the large amounts of Fanservice, and despite this being a universe where looks are quite important, not many characters' looks are referred to in-universe, probably because the actors' looks speak for themselves. Here are some attempts: Sansa Stark and Daenerys Targaryen are definitely World Class Beauties at least. They're probably the two characters whose level of attractiveness becomes a plot point the most often. Their great looks are remarked upon by several characters, and several important characters fall in love with/lust after them. Walder Frey accuses Talisa Maegyr of having been preferred over his daughters solely for being a World Class Beauty as well. Amongst men Jaime Lannister is a World Class Beauty. In the first episode Ros tells Tyrion that Jaime is said to be the most handsome man in the Seven Kingdoms, and in season 6 Bronn implies all women look at him as if they'd like to -ahem- have sexual relations with him. Loras Tyrell is also probably this. He has managed to achieve a special nickname, "The Knight of Flowers", that refers to his good looks and flair, and Word of God proclaimed him the "Sexiest Man of Westeros". Jon Snow is referred to as being uncommonly "pretty" several times, but it's not clear if this means he's supposed to be World Class Beauty or just a Common Beauty in a setting that's unusual (especially since in at least one of those occasions the adjective is used to deride him for his supposed lack of toughness). Brienne of Tarth gets a lot of sneering for being "big" and dressing like a man, but Jaime is the only one who outright calls her ugly, and that's only when he's trying to get on her nerves. So she's considered Flawed Average in her society for being a big, muscular woman who fights. Despite the general negativity, however, there are a few who admire her for being such a capable fighter, so she could probably also be considered Cool/Special Average depending on your point of view. Especially now that it seems she's World Class Beauty in Tormund's eyes. As part of his Adaptational Attractiveness and his burns being less prominent, the Hound is upgraded to Flawed Average from his Ugly and Uncanny book counterpart. Tyrion Lannister is Flawed Average in this adaptation, or Imperfect Beauty according to Margaery Tyrell. Nobody on the show points out any flaw in his looks other than his dwarfism (which, however, is considered a huge deformity in this world). Margaery, on the other hand, notes that once you get over it he's actually quite handsome. While Gregor Clegane before his deformity was more or less average after his wounding he became Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman. |

Disco Elysium: Harry is a very mangled Imperfect Beauty. In his youth, before he became the 'broken' part of his Broken Ace status, he was an exceptionally handsome World Class Beauty, and he still retains some of the best parts of his looks, particularly his Lantern Jaw of Justice and strong muscles. Unfortunately he's wrecked his body so much with his alcoholism, smoking, amphetamine and psychedelic abuse, suicidal depression and insomnia that he's ruined his skin, he's developed a beer gut and a sagging bum, he stinks, he has greasy muttonchops, he dresses in a bunch of hideous items mixed together at random, and his face is permanently fixed into a repulsive disco smirk that does not meet his eyes. You can have him remove the Expression and the muttonchops - he finds the first one an unambiguous relief, but his partner Kim thinks the facial hair was better because it 'covered up more of the damage'. Kim's Special Average - his overall appearance is that of an unexceptional binoclard, though it's noted that his features naturally look young for his age. However, he also hand-tailors his own wardrobe to fit him perfectly, and cultivates his mannerisms to project an air of elegant, aloof cool that leaves Harry struggling for words. Klaasje is a World Class Beauty. She was a former beauty queen representing her own country, and, when Ruby's love of classic female movie pinups is brought up as evidence that Klaasje (who looks like that kind of woman) is her type, Ruby responds that Klaasje is everyone's type. Klaasje is so beautiful that she's able to overpower Harry's brain, leaving the voices in his head unable to suss out her lies; her appearance also drives Dros insane with lust and disgust]]. Even Kim, who isn't interested in women and is therefore insulated from the worst of Klaasje's powers, is beguiled by her somewhat. Interestingly, the one character who is immune to her seems to be Garte; he claims she's not to his taste and is disgusted by the mere implication she is (which Volition confirms to be true). |

Ayla from the Earth's Children series falls into the category of World Class Beauty, but borders on Divine Level Beauty. However, because she was raised by Neanderthals (who have a very different idea of beauty than modern humans) she tends to see herself as being somewhere between Ugly Cute and Super Ugly. | |

In Warhammer 40,000 the Emperor of Mankind and his Primarch sons generally occupy the very top levels of this scale. They are all said to possess more or less supernatural levels of attractiveness and charisma. The two most prominent examples would Sanguinius and Fulgrim who are both S-tier Divine level beauties, though in subtly different ways; Sanguinius could best be described as possessing true Angelic Beauty, while Fulgrim is more the sort of slightly too perfect beauty you'd get if a mad scientist spliced together genes from all the most beautiful people throughout time to create the perfect White Hair, Black Heart character. And more towards the other end of the scale, you've got Vulkan and Magnus the Red who while awesome-looking are also uncannily inhuman – mostly due to being Amazing Technicolor Population. Slaanesh, one of the Chaos Gods, is described to be so beautiful that you lose all free will and other desires to him. This puts him technically on Divine level (it helps that he's an actual deity). Depictions of him tends to lead towards Good-looking but Uncanny, as his followers are generally supposed to be the absolute apex of perfection, yet always have something subtly wrong about them. Tzeentch firmly occupies the Lovecraftian level. While Nurgle and Khorne look respectively conventionally disgusting and badass, Tzeentch's form is said to be incomprehensible. The most conventional way of describing him would be a screaming, yawning vortex of pure energy and malice (and that's only when he doesn't want to break your mind). Eldar are described as World-Class beauties physically, but when they move they are so graceful and swift that it looks unnatural, dipping straight into Uncanny Valley to humans. This, combined with the fact that they frequently manipulate humans into doing their bidding, has caused the Imperial Guard to issue warnings against communicating with them. |

Cecil in Welcome to Night Vale describes Carlos as somewhere between World Class and Divine, but he's biased.

Doctor Who: According to Steven Moffat, the Doctor is a kind of Special Ugly Cute ("utterly compelling, attractive in a very odd way... None of the Doctors are conventionally attractive, but they’re all arresting") and should only ever be played by actors of that type, as "handsome men don't quite suit". In-series, this also seems to be the rule - they're generally considered to be a funny-looking bunch at best, usually losing extra points with their awful fashion sense as well, but make up for it with bags of charm/presence/charisma to the point that most people find them enjoyable to look at anyway. The exceptions are the Eighth and the Tenth - the Tenth is regarded as a Common Beauty, while the Eighth is on the bottom end of World Class (being very good looking to begin with, but also possessing a lot of slightly inhuman traits that make him strangely more attractive, such as naturally smelling of honey). Companions are generally Common Beauties - making them too hot makes them unrelatable, but they are also there to provide Parent Service and have UST with guest characters. A few exceptions: Steven Taylor is explained to be a World Class Beauty in the Expanded Universe (although the actor who played Steven claimed that he was not written as attractive in the show, and only figured out that he was Mr. Fanservice after he left and people kept saying they fancied him). His most extreme moment of Character Shilling is probably when Jane Austen says he's so handsome that he could steal the heart of every woman in London. Romana - any Romana - is the top end of World Class, with the expanded universe going into detail about her unearthly charisma, which she has even if the person observing her doesn't find her sexually attractive. Jack is World Class, and how. Amy is a World Class Beauty. Two of her jobs involve making money off her looks (a "kissogram" and a model) and Clara is extremely intimidated when she sees a photo of her legs. (Of course, Amy's being a model is also an Actor Allusion, as Karen Gillan is a former model.) Rory is Special Average - Amy describes his looks as 'just alright' and her friends call him 'the ugly one'. However, his loving personality makes Amy consider him 'the most beautiful man in the world', and both the Doctor and the TARDIS claim to fancy him. The TARDIS even calls him the "pretty one" (confusing the Doctor who was expecting it to mean Amy). |

Uglies. Tally is Flawed Average, the pretties are Divine beauties, the specials are Imperfect beauties. Interesting example, actually. Tally might be anywhere from Normal Ugly up to at least Common beauty. The thing is that no natural beauty can compete with the pretties, so all non-pretties are considered equally ugly. |

"Adalmina's Pearl": Adalmina is a princess who gets as her birth gift an enchanted pearl that makes her more beautiful every day. The plot also makes her a plain peasant girl at one point - depending on version, Flawed Average or Normal Ugly. Adalmina is a character who depending on how pretty she was as an infant, could very possibly be five grades of beauty and one grade of ugly, while averting Hollywood Homely and Beautiful All Along. It's actually scary to think that no matter what, she will be much more beautiful as a granny than as a young princess. | |

A few examples from You (2018): Joe Goldberg. Joe seems to be an example of "Common Beauty", several people note that he is good-looking, but not enough to stand out or attract attention. However his charm and wit more than makeup for it, making it easy to believe people wouldn't see his true nature. This is especially pronounced in Season 4, where he's among a group of conventionally attractive (to Uncanny Valley-level) socialites but maintains an unpolished look that helps him come across as less elitist by comparison. Kate Galvin, too. Common Beauty, Unlike other love interests who are often described as world-class beauty, Kate's beauty doesn't usually attract much attention, beyond a few flattering comments. |

GURPS literally has such a sliding scale — every character, every creature can have an above- or below-average appearance as an advantage or disadvantage (the scale goes Transcendent, Very Beautiful, Beautiful, Attractive, Average, Unattractive, Ugly, Hideous, Monstrous, Horrific). GURPS writers have suggested that, once you move beyond Transcendent, Mind Control or Terror are the next steps. |

Star Control: The VUX in general are deemed by humans in general to be of the Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman type, and external official sources state that other alien races have similar views on their appearance. The VUX themselves not only actively discriminate by appearance, but in particular view humans in general in the same way humans view the VUX in-universe, if not Lovecraftian given how some VUX speaking to you actively try to avoid looking at you directly and clearly lest they vomit from the sight. Given how their standards on beauty are much different from ours, the scale of beauty on this very page may be flipped from the VUX's perspective, and any being that looks better than Just Average from our perspective would be seen as the opposite from a VUX's eye, and vice versa. |

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU: Yukino Yukinoshita is likely a world class beauty. Because she is described as having "unparalleled looks" and according to her the majority of males were infatuated with her, from her looks alone, in the past. Yui Yuigahama is likely a common beauty, because she and Yukino have similar facial features but no one has commented on her appearance so far. If the Hikigaya siblings are right, Hachiman Hikigaya is pretty good-looking. He would fall under Imperfect Beauty. Because his "fish eyes" and "gross disposition" counteract his similar neutral facial features, bar his eyes, to Hayato Hayama who is probably at least a common beauty. If they're wrong, Hachiman probably is Flawed Average on the scale. |

Urusei Yatsura: Rei is a Divine Level Beauty, full stop. Women everywhere can't control themselves when they see him for the first time. Though the novelty apparently wears off when they discover he shapeshifts into a bull/tiger-like werebeast, which is treated as Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman. Characters like Lum, Sakura, Mendou, and Ryuunosuke are all World Class Beauties. Considered so attractive In-Universe, each have their own dedicated fan clubs that swoon the moment they appear. In Sakura's case, part of this appeal stems from the fact that she is a fully-grown woman in a school with budding teenage girls, and the male students always make sure to treat her as such. Ryuunosuke, on the other hand, isn't exactly portrayed as Divine, but does have heterosexual female admirers. Depending on how goofy and lecherous he's seen in the moment, Ataru is either Just Average or Normal Ugly. And Cherry is Ugly and Uncanny enough to invoke mild aversions. |

In Family Guy, Meg Griffin varies between Super Ugly and Monstrous. Being with her is considered A Fate Worse Than Death in this show (this is a good example of how this is an in-universe trope, being Played for Laughs in this case; to the audience she is normal-looking and even resembles Lois, only shorter and chubbier). However, in an Alternate Universe, she is super attractive - though she is still "one of the ugly ones" as everyone is gorgeous in this universe. There is also the episode where she gets a make-over and is upgraded to World Class beauty. Lois Griffin is considered World Class beauty. James Carville is described as a class XI in one episode: "I can handle ugly, but he's like circus ugly." Peter's boss Angela is considered Super Ugly, being so ugly that not even Quagmire wanted to have sex with her, describing her as a "dumpster fire". |

Atreus Eleint, the protagonist of the Forgotten Realms novel Faces of Deception by Troy Denning, clearly has a Monstrous appearance. It's really quite difficult to imagine what he's supposed to look like, to be that ugly. In his case, it's the result of having been changed into a different shape while young and having to grow up without anyone removing the spell; he doesn't look like the other form anymore, but it really messed up his normal growth and shape. Interestingly, not everyone in the book thinks he's ugly, but that's just because he meets some people who don't see anyone as ugly. And even some of them do think he is. | |

The New World of Darkness has a Merit called Striking Looks which measures your character's appearance and gives her a nice bonus on Social rolls. Not having it means your character is anywhere between 'Just Average' to 'Normal Ugly'. The Merit itself has two versions (two-dot and four-dot) which fall somewhere between 'Special Average' and 'World Class Beauty'. Having or lacking Social Attributes/Skils can improve or decrease her appeal by one or two levels. 'Divine Level Beauty' can be achieved through supernatural means. The Daeva and the Fairest* As in Fairest of Them Allare two groups of supernatural beings that are known for their above average beauty and for having the powers to back it up. The Requiem version of the Nosferatu can be anything between Ugly and Uncanny down to Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman since their curse is not specifically in a physical sense, but in a more Uncanny Valley-esque sense. |

How I Met Your Mother has Robin Scherbatsky, who claims that she doesn't have to pay for bagels, newspapers, or rent in Manhattan because she's so beautiful, and whom Lily hated when they first met, but now seems to have a bit of a crush on. This would probably classify her as a World Class Beauty. This is justified by the fact that the entire series is Ted awkwardly asking his kids for their blessing to start dating Robin again after their mother died. | |

In the Dragonlance novels Caramon, Tika, Crysiana, and Kitiara are all Common beauty. Goldmoon is at least a high-end World Class beauty; she was literally worshipped by her barbarian tribe for her beauty. Laurana had multiple characters swear that she was the World's Most Beautiful Woman, all the heroes (even the ultra-cynical Raistlin) are dazzled by her looks upon first seeing her, and when she rode into the city of Kalaman every man, woman, and child in the city was so mesmerized by her beauty that they could only stare at her in silent awe. Making an entire city go weak in the knees at the sight of her should qualify Laurana as a Divine beauty. | |

Princess Mithian on Merlin arrives in Camelot in a Big Entrance that creates some suspense over her appearance by having her wear a veil over her face. When she draws it back the Reaction Shot of the assembled crowd puts her on a World Class beauty level. Whether this is a Justified Trope or Narm depends on your opinion of the actress in question, and how much The Reveal deserves the dramatic build-up. | |

Discussed to some extent in Genshiken. In-universe, Kousaka is described as a World-Class beauty, while Ohno is merely Common. | |

In Stretch Panic, 12 young women were all incredibly vain, meaning they would likely be in the upper levels of beauty. The Demons of Vanity transformed them all into twisted Ugly and Uncanny versions of their perfect images of beauty. Special mention goes to Jelly Chan, who turned into a Level XVI giant blob monster and Demonica, a horror fan who became so hideous that looking at her would kill you, putting her on Lovecraftian level. | |

The Ugly Barnacle, from Patrick's story in Spongebob Squarepants, would count as among the ugliest of Type XVII, for apparently he was so ugly, that everyone died. | |

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: Nosferatu are "Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman". As a Nosferatu Fledgling, being seen in public is a violation of the Masquerade and so you have to sneak around and use the Absurdly Spacious Sewers for travel. It does however open up some hilarious dialogue options with select NPCs. A character with high levels of Seduction, especially a female one, will be "World Class Beauty". With a Seduction score of 7 or higher, prostitutes will offer their bodies to you without you even having to pay them. |

The Requiem version of the Nosferatu can be anything between Ugly and Uncanny down to Fearsome and Clearly Inhuman since their curse is not specifically in a physical sense, but in a more Uncanny Valley-esque sense. | |
