If the character becomes beautiful over time, he/she's all grown up.
Edited by DAN004 MAX POWER KILL JEEEEEEEEWWWWW
Is there a trope where an unattractive character becomes attractive over the course of a series, be it through magical means, hard work, or simple passage of time? It's not Beautiful All Along because the character would be genuinely ugly to begin with. It's not really {{She's All Grown Up}} either because it would be a main or central character rather than someone the protagonist hasn't seen in awhile. I don't really think it's she cleans up nicely either because as far as I can tell that trope is exactly the same as beautiful all along. It would be most similar to a shallow version of Took a Level in Badass but in regards to appearance and not badassness.
Examples would be the ugly duckling or the beast from Beauty and the Beast.
Does it exist?
