I tend to describe physical features for my character, without actually bothering to describe the beauty of a character. A couple of my characters are described as average, and I never really bother to say 'beautiful'. I will use terms like statuesque, and describing certain aspects of their frame, etc, as supple, or toned, etc. Things that are meant to describe shape more than 'Oh look, this is pretty.'
I'm very much of the belief that beauty is a matter of perception, and so I don't bother to detail that my characters are or are not physically attractive. Because everyone will read my descriptions in RP, and make up their own opinions of whether or not their character will find mine beautiful.Â
That's basically what it boils down to. What's beautiful to one person is only passable to another person, and no two people will find the same exact physical traits beautiful in someone. So, if someone says their character is beautiful, it won't matter unless whatever character you're playing agrees with that viewpoint.
