[b][center]She's All That U2B Challenge[/center][/b] [center]Who remembers the 1999 pop-culture classic [i]She's All That[/i]? For those whose memories are a bit rusty or have never seen it, here's a quick synopsis: [quote]A quirky, glasses-wearing artist (played by the gorgeous-no-matter-what-she-wears Rachael Leigh Cook) is just waiting to graduate high school so she can get out into the real world. The football captain and all-around stereotypical jerk of a high school jock (played by the absolutely sweetheart of a man, Freddie Prinze Jr.) decides to prove to his equally obnoxious friends that toxic masculinity can prevail above all, and that he can make any girl prom queen. The artist is his chosen victim, and while she apparently teaches him some lessons about how it's what on the inside that counts, he ultimately is the catalyst for her getting a full makeover and deciding that paying attention to one's looks might be just as important as intelligence and talent and being a good person.[/quote] Look, for the '90s, it was a progressive film. But, more importantly, it has inspired this breeding challenge, in which I will take a subjectively unattractive dragon and, through some breeding magic, make it one the whole world would desire![/center] This challenge would not be happening without inspiration and straight up copying from the Ugly to Beautiful challenges of [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3039228/1]Festivoog[/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3166975]Casper117[/url]. [center][b]Without further ado, please welcome the derg that started it all, Siel:[/b] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/805758/80575767_350.png[/img] Aside from those alluring primal eyes, I would argue that she's not got a lot going for her in the looks department. This is, of course, my subjective opinion, but that's the only one that matters to me! Starting with Siel, this challenge will follow the "standard" rules of an ugly to beautiful challenge, with one extra twist, based on [i]She's All That[/i]: [quote] 1. When the heir comes of age, run an AH search for a RTB, triple-gened, plentiful modern breed of the opposite gender with a sale price of ≤10 gems or ≤15kt 2. Use an RNG to determine which page of the search results to use 3. Use an RNG to pick the dragon from that page (1-10) 4. Assay the bloodlines to ensure the dragons can breed 5. When the eggs are hatched, only [b]female[/b] hatchlings will be considered as potential new heirs 6. Use an RNG to pick which of the female offspring will become the next heir, and repeat! [/quote] Who will the end dragon be? Will there ever be an end? Who determines what is "beautiful"? Will existential questions ever stop plaguing us? Only time will tell![/center] If you wish to be pinged as part of this challenge, please post below! Ping List: @StolassPrince @xStormDancerx @Kvon

[b]It Starts...[/b] AH has 25 pages of results that match my criteria, and RNG picked page 21. Second RNG picked 4, which gave me: [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/803886/80388572_350.png[/img] [b]Carbry[/b][/center] Am I thrilled that he's piebald, paint, koi? Nope! But that's part of the fun! We're about to get some very unattractive babies! [center][img]https://flightrising.com/images/nests/3/2healthy_0dead.png[/img] With only 2 eggs, here's hoping we get a female![/center]

Added! First nest will hatch soon!

[b]Nest 1[/b] Nest 1 hatches, and I have lucked out because both hatchlings are female. They are also both suffering in the looks department: [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/810498/81049777_350.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/810498/81049778_350.png[/img] [/center] Nothing about either of these says "Prom Queen", so let's hope the next pairing yields slightly more aesthetically pleasing results. RNG chose #2, and the name randomizer has dubbed her Cierra, so now I just wait the two weeks until she's of an age to breed. [i]Something tells me this is going to be a very long road to beauty...[/I] @StolassPrince

[b]Breeding #2[/b] AH has 51 pages of results that match my criteria, and RNG picked page 28. Second RNG picked 4 [i]again[/i], which gave me: [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/718439/71843864_350.png[/img] [b]Seer[/b][/center] Wait, he's actually kinda good looking! Nice smooth blend of colors and traits...let's see how much poor Cierra can mess that up. [center][img]https://flightrising.com/images/nests/3/1healthy_0dead.png[/img] Oh boy, this one might be a dud if it's a male. Fingers crossed![/center] @StolassPrince

[b]Nest 2[/b] I got super lucky with my single egg: it's a girl! [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/814619/81461855_350.png[/img] [/center] I'm honestly worried that this offspring will be less worthy of the Prom Queen title than her mother, but time will tell. Name randomizer has dubbed her Refined (a little humor there, eh, RNG??), so now the waiting game begins again. [I]I want to be upset that it's so ugly, but at least it's a lady![/I] @StolassPrince

[b]Breeding #3[/b] Two weeks already?! How time flies... AH has 97 pages of results that match my criteria, and RNG picked page 74. Second RNG picked 3, which gave me: [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/781718/78171797_350.png[/img] [b]Daimyo[/b][/center] Which proves that I just cannot catch a break here. Who knows, maybe ugly + ugly will equal beautiful...?? [center][img]https://flightrising.com/images/nests/3/3healthy_0dead.png[/img] At least I have 3 eggs this time. That's a relief![/center] @StolassPrince

[b]Nest 3[/b] Out of 3 eggs, only one is a girl: [center][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/818912/81891108_350.png[/img] Just for funsies, here are her brothers: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/818912/81891107_350.png[/img][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/818912/81891109_350.png[/img][/center] The name randomizer called this new lovely lady Rustyfang, which is hilariously appropriate. The truly magical thing is...she's not [i]that[/i] ugly! Don't get me wrong, she's not my cup of tea in terms of a Prom Queen ready dragon, but I think we might finally be getting somewhere. All those green hues blend nicely. Well, here's to another 2 weeks of waiting! @StolassPrince
