In character creation mode Imperials have the cleanest, most refined features and are by far easiest to 'make' pretty. In the game it's a mix. Some people go for blunt faced Nords like the Riverwood blacksmith's wife--they seem to find her button nose cute rather than snoutish. Some like Aela with her close set eyes and blood smeared face. Of course there are always the blow-up doll fetishists in love with Lydia, but reluctantly I'd have to say Serana is the prettiest female Skyrim character, no matter how annoying and manipulative she may be, and you all know her race...before the change I mean.

I'm too much of an Anglophile to make my character anything but Breton--bow ties ARE cool! Besides I would never be an Imperial and I like that the Breton starting buff the best. In fairness though, Imperials do have the best character builds, for both genders. You can absolutely see where the bias of the creators lies, as if it's not obvious enough in game play...
