Flames burst from her head, but are held in thrall by the tie behind her head, the licking tongues of orange fire in her ponytail blown gently in the breeze.

Someone better get that girl a bucket of water. Burning head is not good.

She is indefatigably attractive

My unearthly beauty requires a gruff, well-spoken captain. Played by Robert Lindsay.

Wow. This is ... purple.

And I haet it when a description tells me how I'm supposed to feel. Guess what, Binky, you don't get to decide that!

Maybe my guy hates beautiful people. Maybe he's a bitter misanthrope who'd rather gouge out her eyes while wearing a tutu on top of unwashed lederhosen.

Speshul snowflakes make me sad.

There's exactly one time where a character's description tells you how to feel: when a Dawn Caste Solar Exalted flashes their anima banner. ^^

Haet Exalted, but that's just me. I get the reference.

Another thing: what is considered beautiful in one culture might be considered butt ugly in another like this one tribe that distends ears and bottom lips with flat wooden disks to "be more beautiful" or an African tribe that stretch their necks with special necklaces.

How many times are we inundated with what we're supposed to find "beautiful"? Or are told that this person/thing or that person/thing is "beautiful" irl?

Please excuse my off-topic rant.
