what the hell do you mean by features?
like "hey babe, why don't you wear makeup to bed so you don't look so damn ugly?"
or do you mean "bitch, brush yo damn teeth"
or the most probable request to rid oneself of the hair that protects the most tender bits of the body?

Hair and makeup would be applicable to the conditions-- after all, makeup tries to look as natural as possible. As for brushing teeth, they could be made whiter, but breath would not be freshened by the ability.

OH GOD what if you were the shapeshifter and they asked you to change into them?

That's some bizarro narcissistic shit right there.

Anyway that thought just occurred to me.
