Though she is plagued with a slow metabolism Mia rarely has to worry about her weight as she is also not much of an eater. Thanks to this Mia has a fairly nice figure with a thin waist. None of her body is especially toned or muscled, but she is thin enough to make sure there is no sagging of fat or skin so the fact that she is not toned doesn’t do too much to place against her, especially her stomach. Her stomach, however, is still probably her most hated feature. Due to her pregnancies along with her time without a home and losing a dangerous amount of weight her stomach and hips are covered in stretch marks that are quite noticeable. However, the pregnancies also gave her the hour glass figure she does like about herself. We all know having children generally makes ones hips really start to show and her breasts will never go back down in size, they are now probably a decent D cup, though she doesn’t like that they don’t look nearly as young as they used to, but what can you do?

Mia’s hair is dark in color, either dark brown or black, depending on whom you ask. It generally is made of large waves and is very thick against her head, tending to overpower her face when it is kept down, which is usually is unless she is working, when it’s in a tight bun on the top of her head. Though she does try to keep it in good health, she will often forget to get it trimmed so is sometimes plagued with split ends which tends to cause the ends of her hair to look rather frizzy, but she does try. Her face, when not covered in hair, has some pretty nice skin. Sure, she is still young and from time to time, when she is highly stressed, will break out a bit but beyond that there’s not much she has to worry about. Her nose is a little big for her face and because of that her eyes are far set. They are also a little small when it comes to height, but are fairly wide and almond shaped. Her cheek bones are normal, maybe slightly more high set than those of most women and her lips are plump even without make up, through from side to side they are kind of small. She tries to avoid smiling, however, because she hates her smile, and has good reason to. It wrinkles up her nose and makes her eyes even smaller than they already are. It also makes her cheeks look fat and her lips go crooked and her gums show. All in all, she tries to avoid big smiles, especially in front of the camera, because of that.

Speaking of makeup, she wears some but not too much. She doesn’t feel the need to hide all her skin in order to leave the house, but does like to look nice. A little foundation and cover up goes a long way, though. That and eye liner, and sometimes a little eye shadow but that’s pretty rare. Her eyes are in fact hazel, a mixture of green and brown, but are often more on the brown side. Due to that she tries to pull out the green with her makeup, but that doesn’t do much. Doesn’t stop her from trying though. However, she will never try to color coordinate her eyes with her clothing. She wears whatever she likes, as long as it’s fairly conservative. No one wants to see her stomach, in her opinion. She will often wear tank tops or something that falls off her shoulders because she does like how that looks on her, but either way she is often seen in her work uniform, which isn’t exactly flattering.

Mia arms and legs are normal in length, as are her hands and feet fairly normal in size for her 5’6” frame, well, her feet may actually be a little big, as in wide, but she has been pregnant twice so who knows. She has scars on her lower lip, if you really look, from the snake bite she had pierced into her lip when she was younger, and scars from when she fell onto cement as a young child on her knees, but who doesn’t have childhood scars? Beyond that, though, she doesn’t have much. She doesn’t like pain. Well, her shoulder doesn’t really tell people that. She has a tattoo of flowers on her right shoulder that doesn’t extend down her back, but does on the front a bit. She doesn’t go out of her way to hide it except when she is at work.

Emma has never considered herself amazingly beautiful, perhaps because she's a bit of a perfectionist and can spot flaws from a mile away. She had some self esteem issues in middle school and her first two years of high school but has now accepted her flaws and can focus in on what she likes about herself. You only get one body to live in, why spend your years hating it?

Standing at 5'9” almost on the dot, Emma greatly enjoys her above average height. She does not, however, enjoy the lack of any serious boobage. She's still the same A cup she was in her freshman year of high school, and she has taken to jokingly calling them “tittles” after hearing the Jeff Dunham joke about small breasts. 5'9” and flat-chested sounds like the beginnings of a model's description, but Emmelina is far from. That model who said something like “skinny feels better than food tastes” or something? Yeah, Emma thinks she's insane. Emma has a hearty appetite and the bit of extra weight to show for it. She has great hips and a nice butt – perhaps nature's way of making up for the small chest – and some extra fat collected around that area, as well as a very small stomach pooch. Not a fan of the kind of physical activity that slims you down, Emmelina's arms are undefined and on the chubby side in comparison to the rest of her body. Her legs are long but athletic, not at all twiggy or skeletal.

Emma got lucky when it comes to her rather boring brown hair; it's not too thick or too thin, and is generally pretty easy to manage. It's usually kept loose or thrown into a messy ponytail, as Emma is not one to spend time on her hair just to ride or go to class. When at the office, she usually opts for a very neat bun, partly because it's polished and professional and partly because it's very simple. She has no bangs to grapple with and has never felt the need to get them; she doesn't particularly like the look and while her forehead is high, it is not quite the dreaded “fivehead” that some women like to cover with sideswept fringe. The rest of Emma's face is a nice balance of angles and softness; her chin is strong but rounded, her jawline is not too sharp, her nose is wide but well sloped, and her cheekbones are defined without making her face look hollow. A small “beauty mark” to the right of her nose adds character to her countenance; the girl hated this little speck up until her later high school years, when she began to appreciate how unique it was.

One flaw that has always annoyed Emmelina is that most of her features seem to be slanted just a bit, the left side higher than the right. This is particularly noticeable when it comes to her mouth; if she's not smiling, you can notice that slight tilt. The slant probably wouldn't be as noticeable if her lips were fuller, but they are very, very average. The size of Emma's green-gray eyes helps to disguise this trait in that area; they are very big and very round, fringed by long, thick lashes. As large as her eyes are Emma doesn't have a lot of eyelid space, and this image is strengthened by the fact that she doesn't have much brow space either. Her eyebrows lie very near to her eyes, and while they have obviously been shaped she is not willing to shave off her eyebrows and pencil them on higher up, as she finds it tacky.

The above examples are appearance sections how I would like to see them written. They mix flaws into the section and really let you know what the character looks like and also lets you know that they are human and therefore are not perfect.
