One thing to realize is that no person is singular. In the reality of whatever game you play there are THOUSANDS if not millions of people wandering about. They are plain, ordinary and Ugly. The player characters special, they rise above the rest, high enough to be NOTICED, which is why they get a screename and interact freely.

It makes sense for them to be pretty, exotic, extravagant, because that perfectly justifies why they are special enough to have free will. Remember, every mob you pass in the street is actually a living person in the reality of your gameworld.

THEY look at the PCs in awe and wonder. THEY wonder why they can't pick up a sword or spellbook and instead have to use garden hoes to wack weeds.

Enjoy it, your character is special whether you want them to be or not.
