And no amount of idiocy would be able to overcome a woman's superb looks if she's dealing with a man with a one track mind. I just find it funny that in M2TW the game basically is saying if a princess is a bad diplomat she also LOOKS bad, by definition.
    It's not, it's a combination of both. Basically, as far as traits are concerned, a 3-4 Charm woman is your average gal, anything under 3 is closer to your moustache-wearing aunt (we all have at least ONE of those.), and 5 and above is closer and closer to perfection. But charm and uncharm can come from different sources. A princess with +2 Beauty (and a working natural princess trait, can't stress this enough : PRINCESSES ARE BORKED IN VANILLA. They should start with 1-3 Charm !) will be above average, because she's got the looks, and somewhat the brains. An intelligent, beautiful princess will be the dream of any husband. A noticeably ugly but markedly intelligent girl will end up average, etc...

    I hear Francois I's (French king from the Renaissance, famous for his womanizing - some say he first got syphilis when he was 10 years old) first wife had one leg shorter than the other, and a cleft, and everyone acknowledged she was a very deformed woman. Still he had a lot of affection for her : they had 9 children together, and he often said he would give his life for hers any day. She would probably be the NaturalPrincess 2 UglyWoman 3 PassionateWoman 3 princess
