Related to [[Hollywood Homely]], where we are ''informed'' that the girl is unattractive or ugly, and everyone in the show seems to believe it, but to us she seems quite pretty. With [[Suetiful All Along]], the author [[Informed Deformity|insists the character isn't pretty at the outset]], then lavishes complimentary descriptions on her the rest of the time. A girl who is fishing for compliments may ''pretend'' to feel this way, but she really doesn't. This can be [[Truth in Television]], if the girl in question has a poor self-image and/or unrealistic ideas of what constitutes beauty. |
