You Could Be So Pretty

In Belle and Joni's world there are two options for girls:

One, follow the rules of the Doctrine: be a Pretty, apply your Mask, win admiration and attention, work hard to be crowned at the Ceremony.

Be a Belle.

Or two, fight the rules: be an Objectionable, leave your face bare, be sneered at or ignored, work hard to avoid the disgust in their eyes and hope to one day escape.

Be a Joni.

But maybe there is a third option...

Change the rules. Reclaim your power. If you can...

What would you choose?
