She’s shy, and quite

bookish, mild-mannered

and above all,

She’s beautiful. 

Beautiful, but she doesn’t try

Beautiful, but she doesn’t know it

Because a woman is only as good as she is attractive

And only as attractive as she is insecure

Beautiful because how could anything else about her possibly matter if she wasn’t?

If her eyes didn’t sparkle,

If her hair wasn’t silky,

If her nose wasn’t exactly the right size,

How could she possibly be loved?

Its okay to be smart,

quick-witted

powerful,

But only if your face is 

perfectly symmetrical.

Only if 

You have just the right amount of curves

and 

long eyelashes. 

I want characters who look like people.

I want characters who are not defined by the presence or absence of attractiveness.

I want to authors who understand that we won’t mind if the characters don’t look like models,

because we don’t either.
