I believe it would be of great assistance to update the appearance options slightly.
Please keep in mind that everything here will also directly apply to image generation (afaik) since the default description is based on the settings of the appearance page, so while these things will obviously directly relate to the companion themselves they also impact the users' experience and ease/difficulty concerning image generation.
Morphology: If at all possible adding some specific body-type measurements or something along those lines would be beneficial in saving backstory space. Bust/hip/ass/dick/whatever sizes, something along those lines perhaps. Would be helpful in terms of general interaction, not having to include specific body descriptions in the backstory. Could also do something related to weight if looking for a more generalized aspect rather than specific measurements, though ideally both would be beneficial to add.
Ethnicity: Sub-categories would be ideal. For instance selecting "Asian" would then entail sub-categories consisting of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, etc. Obviously you don't need to list every individual ethnicity, but some broad strokes could help quite a bit in adding slight personal flavor to the already available options. (Where the middle-eastern at)
Hair Color: The 'unnatural colors' is doing a lot of heavy lifting, but simultaneously making it more difficult in the process. What I mean by this is that upon selecting unnatural colors there is no where to specify the color, meaning that manual editing of image generation prompts and including the specified color in the backstory will be necessary which somewhat negates the intended effect.
A solution to this could be simply listing widely used colors (pink, purple, etc.) with a modifier concerning whether it's dark, light, vibrant, etc. for more accurate hair color identification without requiring the use of backstory. Or to simply have a write-in option upon selecting unnatural colors to specify a description.
Eye color: Just a small tidbit here. I would personally appreciate having the hair colors also listed for eye color, enabling matching of hair and eyes for those who wish it.
Hairstyle: I think it would be a massive benefit to include this on the appearance page. There are a ridiculous amount of hairstyles, so it isn't realistic to have some sort of list with every known style that people could want. That being said, general descriptors could help quite a bit. Such as: length, straight/curly, potentially including head-wear such as hairpins, hats, etc. I would personally suggest the style section be left open for the user to simply describe it, which would allow for specificity outside of the backstory section.
Outfit(s): Having at least one describable outfit in the appearance section seems greatly beneficial to me. I'm sure everyone reading this/using this service has watched television and known that most characters have some sort of specific outfit they wear the majority of the time. Right now we have to describe the standard outfit within the backstory which then takes away from the allotted space. Once again, similarly to hairstyles, the list of selections here would be massive, so some sort of user write-in option would likely be required as opposed to a drop-down selection. That being said, a basic drop-down selection in the form of 'shorts and t-shirt' or 'formal dress' or 'suit and tie' etc. could obviously still be useful.
