I've thought more about Perfect Flaws and I haven't been able to think of something that's both actually debilitating and not something I'd mind too much; the closest I've come to it is being physically unable to eat certain classes of food. 

One drawback I thought of that isn't that and that I might enjoy is some kind of wardrobe malfunction thing where my clothes are more likely to tear if someone is doing Sexy Villainy to me. Maybe with Dressing Room as a prerequisite?

Which classes of food?

That drawback sounds cute! I'll give it some thought.

Celery, octopus, and anything with cilantro in it. ...Are the obvious ones off the top of my head. 

Hmm, I think a food restriction would need a stronger theme than that in order to work... it's possible we could figure something out, though.

That was a great drawback idea, though! It came together really fast, look.

Name: Wardrobe Malfunction - Grants: +3 ☐
(Requires Dressing Room and Dramatic Damsel)
During stories for which your protections are lifted, you may suffer persistent clothing damage that can't be repaired using Dressing Room. Even after regaining your other powers, your clothes may remain torn or otherwise distressed until the story concludes, or you may be forced to wear whatever your captor chooses to dress you in.

Yes, she will help herself to three more points, please and thank you. 

Well, the thing about octopus would also apply to, like, monkey, and crow--anything that's smart enough to go "Hang on, are you sure that's not a person?" about.

I think that might work as a Perfect Flaw by itself, actually! Not being able to eat anything that was a person or ambiguously a person. It might have surprising results, though; different worlds can vary a lot in which kinds of things are closer to or farther from being people.

I don't want to eat anything that was maybe a person! If I can have that for my Perfect Flaw then I will happily take it. 

You can!

Excellent, thank you. 

Between those two, she has six more points to play with. Let's see...hm. Cotton Candy requires Disney Princess, and together they cost five...but then she can take Grimm's Fairy Tales, which is still strictly better than not having Cotton Candy, and eh, into every life some rain must fall. "Bad things happen sometimes" is a whole different animal from "you must live with this annoying thing permanently." And then she'll have two points, with which she will take...Perfect Hair, because that one sounds fun on further inspection. And because she's vain, but really, if she's going to be in all these Sexy Predicaments, she'd better be pretty enough to stand up to them. 

The notebook draws occasional encouraging hearts as she adjusts her build.

Do you think it would be possible to build something, maybe off of Wardrobe Malfunction and Personal Hygiene, where I can get, like, artistic amounts of dirty, and then stay that way until it's no longer narratively appropriate? I'm trying to come up with enough appealing drawbacks that I don't have to compromise on anything I really want. And I'm pretty sure that's in line with how you and the Spirit vibe, but in a lot of situations it would be--inappropriate, unkind to the people I was interacting with--so I am sort of fighting a flinch response. 

I will be so happy if you end up not having to compromise on anything you really want. ♡

Let me see...

Effie doodles some more geometry while she waits.

Name: Mudslinging - Grants: +1 ☐
(Requires Personal Hygiene and Wardrobe Malfunction)
During stories for which your protections are lifted, you may get dirty when narratively appropriate, including potentially needing to take a narratively appropriate bath or do narratively appropriate laundry.

Hm! I hadn't thought of the laundry angle. Not that I object to it.

The sense I had from creating the power involved something about washing oneself and one's clothes in a chilly mountain stream.

That is such a legit and aesthetic sense ♡

Speaking of, like, cleanliness, do any of the perks I have already at exclamation point or star level cover the case where I want to be glittery but I do not want to give the world glitter herpes?

Any glitter you apply to yourself with Dressing Room will behave itself, especially if you have Personal Hygiene. Personal Hygiene probably also lets you accept glitter from elsewhere without passing it on, especially if you have Dressing Room. Appearance powers support each other like that.

Excellent, thank you! I didn't invent glitter herpes but I am glad to be able to share it with you. If the appearance powers support each other, does that mean Emerald Orbs would be more valuable than I thought?

It might! The more appearance powers you have, the more all your appearance powers become better at handling things on the edges of their usual area, and the more your appearance generally acts like you have powers about it even in areas not specifically covered by an existing power.

She flips back to the appearance powers section of the power list. 

Does Size Difference count as an appearance power?

It does!

Why?
