Despite the vareity in Episode’s character creator, there tend to be certain features that pop up way more than others. In your opinion, what are some overused character features?

Excuse me while I go to the Writers Portal to relook at many overused features. I know what they look like, but I need to see their names to be specific. Brb!

Personally, I would say the Defined Triangle face for INK males. (I’m guilty of this too, but it’s EVERYWHERE)

Ugh, I definitely agree. Like seriously, not every good-looking boy looks like that! Along with the messy black hairstyle, if anyone knows what I mean

I’ve mentioned this a lot previously, but I cannot stand seeing white girls with either the Full Round Pouty or Full Flat Top Pouty Lips, and the reason they have them is not botox. Again, unless they have black genetics, how many white people will you see irl with big lips? I mean, yeah, my mean girl (she’s not the main mean girl, but a side one) has thick lips, but at least it’s for botox and not there just because! Side note: I’m trying to give her more depth.
Another note: This is NOT her default look. I just put these clothes on her for fun.

Limelight Female: AND I SEE THEM EVERY DAMN TIME. ESPECIALLY IN MAFIA STORIES! The MC always wear this.

Again, I’m guilty, but at least I have a reason to give my mean girl thick lips and that look (in which you guys call “basic”)
EDIT: My mean girl has the triangle shaped face. Not the diamond like my MC.

Male Limelight: always see in Mafia stories, bad boys, etc. I mean I love Medium Heart Lips, I guess they still use it for family characters too. I mean I still love the features. So, eh.
Okay, I’ll make a list of overused (at least from what I see) features so I don’t take away space for new comments.
For LL:
- Arched Natural Eyebrows (I’m guilty of this, but again, my mean girl has a reason in which I won’t tell this time. Just take a guess based on my picture why she looks the way she does)
- The Long Feathered hairstyle. Why don’t authors try a different hairstyle for once?
- The Long Down Wavy Princess Braid. How many more covers of romance stories will I see this overused hairstyle in?
I’m tired of it! - The Diamond face for every female MC. Yeah, my MC has this face (and it suits her better than other MC’s. Sorry not sorry) , but can we please get an MC with a Round Soft or Double Chin face for once?
- The Round Button nose on black characters. Idk about you, but I’ve never seen a black person with a small nose unless it was genetics. Other than that, authors need to do their research on race.
- For the parents, the author has to make the MC’s parents look like their grandparents by giving them mature eyes, a wrinkled face, small/thin lips, and old clothes. Seriously, not all parents are 60 years old!
- DEFAULT CHARACTERS. This goes out to both INK and LL. Can you please add a character that isn’t Stella, Ahish, Kiki, Oscar, or Alma?
For the LL clothes, I would have to go with any skirts or shorts that touch the middle (or upper) thigh, crop tops, and heels. No comment, but they are overused. That’s all! I must be missing some features, but that’s all I can think of right now.

I think that the arched natural eyebrows and deepset downturned eyes are overused. I think that the full heart pouty lips are overused as well

Hey lovely, thank you for bumping. Though just so you know, only writing the word bump doesn’t successfully bump a thread. If you want to bump it successfully then you should at least write a sentence and/or ask a question.

I would say the Defined Nose, the Female Generic Eyes, and the full heart lips. They’re everywhere and the combination isn’t even good 
All the white people I have met have thin lips. My mother is white, but she weirdly has many black features, such as coily/afro hair, flared nose and big lips. I have medium/big lips and a flared/button nose as well, so I guess me and my mother are the exceptions lol

Definitely “female generic” Dimond"
I could swear there are some more overused character features, but I can’t think of anything else…
