More general 'increased beauty'

[Reactant]

I like the ones suggested above, all neat.

I'll add one. I like it when someone starts out at a disadvantage and overtakes a rival who liked to rub her nose in it. maybe like a small, underdeveloped college girl whose college roommate flaunts her beauty over her, and then she steadily becomes more beautiful in the ways she compares; or a young woman whose sister has always abused her beauty or flaunted it over her younger sister, only for her younger sister to overtake her

also love any IB stories where there is a 'game' and participants compete to earn cards or traits that give them traits
