I just think it'd be nice to see more variety. I mean, my only OCs on the wiki so far are Opaline Glass, Obsidian Tunnel and Star Thalergeld, and they fit the pattern - Opaline wears silver and Obsidian wears gold. Star wears a mix of both [along with bronze] due to her theme of money but. Point stands. Bring on the bronze and rose gold!

I agree with everyone saying it's important to have characters who aren't blonde-white-blue-eyed being called beautiful. I think I'd also like to see more characters who are bigger or disabled being called such. I cannot describe the disappointment I felt when the first girl in the show who was slightly bigger than the rest of the cast was one of the ugly step sisters who was clearly meant to be unattractive. This isn't a cliché as much as it an observation but I felt it was relevent to the conversation at hand. I don't mind making some of my heavier OCs attractive. While I haven't drawn him yet, Balint Juhasz is supposed to be fat and he's also supposed to be quite attractive. Same with Gilbert Bellot, Constance Bruneau, and Helene Gans. I'm thinking of making Nashwa Qismat overweight as well since I need more heavy-set female OCs.

I have tons of attractive disabled OCs. Mustafa Korku, Eugene Serpentin, Ernesto Cedro, and Narcisse Paon are all autistic and they're practically in bishonen territory. Olimpia Mano and Palesa Koumongoe are also autistic and they're considered beautiful by many of the other students. Alcide Parfait has cerebral palsy and he's also very attractive. One common stereotype of disabled people I noticed is that a lot of people think disabled people are all ugly, which definitely isn't true.
