I just wanted to write about how I imagine them, not how you have to see them. I don't think many of them are what you would call conventionally attractive. But that's alright with me. And you can have your version

Coming down to the basics, his face is round, he is visibly overweight and below average height. His hair is short and brown, always neatly cut. It's very nice and soft actually, though he refuses to let it get any longer and as if intentionally it does indeed grow slowly. He has a round, button nose and rosy cheeks, making him appear younger, through his tired expression makes up for it completely. Lastly, it's worth mentioning that his eyes are a particularly beautiful shade of green, they truly do stand out

Just like the book says, he is an attractive guy. Not a Greek God, simply a good looking teen. He's not very tall but he is athletic, with broad shoulders and strong arms. He's not particularly skinny either, but he's not overweight and it's clear that he is very physically active. His eyes are slightly hooded and grey. It's a dull colour, darker than what you would normally picture imagining grey eyes. Despite the fair colour of his hair, he has dark, thick eyebrows and dark eyelashes. The way his eyebrows stand out colouristically makes them rather expressive. Overall, his face is square-ish and kind. He has a pleasant smile and a nose that is slightly upturned and wide. It's easy to notice he doesn't sleep well, with age dark circles under his eyes becoming more pronounced. This one is canon and a wildly known thing but he bites his nails a lot too which follows him into his late teens and adulthood. Painting his nails with a serum or anything like that is out of the question, he can be a very "old fashioned" (dumb) guy at times.

He is somewhat younger than the rest which is perpetuated by his small frame and height. His skin is clear and dark. It has a warm tone to it. It only makes his eyes stand out, as his irises are intensely blue. No matter what he does, his hair is always a bit messy, though he doesn't mind it at all. It always looks like he has been forgetting to cut it for a week or two at least. Falling into his eyes it obscures his thick eyebrowswhike the back of it falls down his neck, making him centimetres away from a mullet. It is also worth noting that his hair is very soft and nice to play with. Moving on to his face, his nose is straight and flat and his eyes are rather big. He also has long, thick eyelashes. When he smiles you can see a gap in the side of the top row of his teeth, where he must have lost a tooth though he doesn't say how. Overall he's quite pretty, but nothing out of the ordinary. It's easy to notice that he looks younger than he is (especially seeing how his mature act clashes with his youthful look). 'Sickly' is also one of the first words that come to mind when describing him

Jack🎼
Canonically there hasn't been one kind thing said about his appearance throughout the book. But I suppose it depends on the tone of the narrator and I like Jack so I might be kinder at least in the way it's presented. He's the tallest of the boys. His figure is lanky, though he has the ability to perform well physically he's (when not on the island) far from athletic. Usually neatly cut, his hair is ginger and wavy, bordering on turning into curls. It's no rare occurrence that Jack finds himself a victim of sunburn, on the island or not. He's very pale and tends to flush easily, his face burning bright red every time he's mad or flustered. Just like the rest of his body, his face is similarly covered in a myriad of freckles. He has a long, straight nose and light blue eyes. His eyelashes and eyebrows are fair, in colour bearing the resemblance of sand. It's noticeable that he has a slight gap in his front teeth. Though it stems more so from his expression than looks he is unpleasant equally inside and out, at least to most. Though if you are reading this you too are a person who'd like to argue with Golding's words to describe Jack being "ugly without silliness" and I respect that

His skin is dark and olive. At first glance you can tell that he looks very tired. Not just sleep deprived but truly and permanently exhausted with life. Its just how he is, it doesn't reflect any hidden struggles he has. Feeling his eyes on you is almost bound to make you uneasy. They are dark and cold. Equally black is his hair, falling into his eyes slightly. At least the front of it, which is parted in the middle. His lips are chapped and pale. They rarely stretch out in a smile, unsurprisingly. When they do it's visible that his teeth are a bit crooked. Objectively speaking, his genuine smile is very pretty. He is skinny but athletic and around average height. All of his features are sharp, making him look more mature. Something small that you'd only notice if you paid attention is that his hands are often covered in small scratches, along with his knees.

Though the book is inconsistent I'll go with his first recorded appearance and say that he is one of the tallest boys, somewhere around Jack's height. Though he's somewhat pale he's not so unlucky to be the kind of person that sunburns every time the light hits their skin. Unlike Jack that is. His completion falls more into beige than pink. Besides that, he has fluffy, brown hair and chocolate eyes. Every time he smiles a pair of dimples becomes visible. He has a full face and though he's not extremely chubby his features have a certain roundness to them. His nose is very pretty and well-sculpted, with a small bump in the middle of the bridge. It's not clear how he got it though it looks like it was broken at some point. His skin is prone to blemishes, especially as years go on and he becomes a young adult

𝐚/𝐧: I think it's spell-checked but I just came back from a party and I'm not in a great shape. By the way - Happy Halloween! What were you dressed up as? I was Jack actually^^
