Quote #1
Kizzy was so busy wishing she was Sarah Ferris or Jenny Glass that she could scarcely see herself at all, and she was certainly blind to her own weird beauty: her heavy, spell-casting eyes, too-wide mouth, wild hair, and hips that could be wild too, if they learned how. No one else in town looked anything like her, and if she lived to womanhood, she was the one artists would want to draw […]. (1.1.57)
Kizzy may be super dissatisfied with her looks and current romantic prospects, but she's wrong in thinking that she's unattractive. The boys at her school might not appreciate it yet, but Kizzy has her own mesmerizing beauty. She just has to get used to it.
Quote #2
Anamique grew radiant. Other men began to wonder why it had taken that damned James Dorsey to make them see that, silent or not, Anamique was quite the lovelies creature in Jaipur, if not all of India. (2.6.7)
As Anamique falls in love with James, she becomes more confident as a woman, which shows in her radiance and beauty. All of the other dudes in Jaipur are totally jealous that they didn't go after her first.
Quote #3
She wasn't a girl anymore, and she wasn't wearing a girl's gown either. She wore a jazzy shimmering shift that fell to mid-calf, and in her stockings and strappy shoes her ankles felt naked. Her shoulders were bare too and she felt daring and sultry and alive. (2.9.1)
It looks like Anamique doesn't want to just be seen as a little girl anymore—she wants to be seen as a sensual young woman. And that's exactly what James sees when he shows up with a ring in his pocket, ready to propose marriage to the woman he loves.
