<h1 id="brunette-22v2-bg-(cara-clayton)">brunette-22v2 BG (Cara Clayton)</h1><h2 id="overview">Overview</h2>brunette-22v2 BG is the Beautiful Girls checkpoint edition of Cara Clayton, retrained from the ground up to take advantage of the Beautiful Girls base model's stronger understanding of realistic skin, natural facial proportions, expressive eyes, and cinematic lighting.Compared to the original release, this version produces noticeably cleaner facial details, richer lighting, improved hair rendering, and far more photorealistic skin while maintaining Cara's distinctive identity—her soft brunette hair, expressive hazel eyes, delicate freckles, and approachable elegance.The Beautiful Girls checkpoint also gives the model much greater flexibility across glamour, fashion, portraiture, lifestyle, lingerie, and editorial photography without sacrificing identity consistency.<hr /><h2 id="what's-new-in-the-bg-version">What's New in the BG Version</h2>Compared to the original release, this version features:<ul><li>Retrained specifically for the Beautiful Girls checkpoint</li><li>Significantly improved facial realism</li><li>Better eye rendering and eyelash detail</li><li>More natural skin texture with realistic pores and subtle imperfections</li><li>Freckles reproduce more consistently across different lighting conditions</li><li>Higher consistency between portrait, fashion, and lifestyle images</li><li>Improved hair texture and volume</li><li>Better handling of dramatic lighting and golden-hour photography</li><li>More cinematic color rendering</li><li>Stronger performance in glamour, editorial, and lingerie photography</li><li>Excellent compatibility with sheer fabrics, robes, knitwear, evening wear, and luxury fashion</li></ul><hr /><h1 id="character">Character</h1>Cara Clayton has the kind of beauty that feels effortless rather than manufactured.She has warm hazel eyes, naturally wavy brunette hair, softly defined facial features, and a constellation of freckles scattered across her nose, cheeks, and shoulders that become one of her defining characteristics. Whether she's walking through a quiet European street, reading beside a fireplace, enjoying a rooftop sunset, or relaxing in a luxury hotel suite, Cara carries herself with quiet confidence and understated elegance.Rather than seeking attention, she naturally attracts it. Her expressions are subtle, thoughtful, and genuine, making her equally believable in everyday lifestyle photography and high-end editorial fashion work.<hr /><h1 id="backstory">Backstory</h1>Cara grew up surrounded by old architecture, bookstores, cafés, and museums, developing an appreciation for timeless design and quiet moments. As an adult she built a career that allows her to travel frequently, often finding herself wandering historic cities, boutique hotels, vineyards, mountain villages, and coastal resorts with a camera always close at hand.She prefers authentic experiences over luxury for its own sake, yet she has an undeniable talent for looking perfectly at home in elegant surroundings. Whether she's wearing a cozy sweater in autumn, an evening gown at a formal event, or a sheer robe in a softly lit hotel room, Cara's style is always sophisticated without feeling overdone.Her freckles remain a signature part of her appearance—small reminders that real beauty comes from individuality rather than perfection.<hr /><h1 id="lora-tips-(beautiful-girls-checkpoint)">LoRA Tips (Beautiful Girls Checkpoint)</h1>This LoRA was trained specifically around the Beautiful Girls checkpoint, and generally performs best on that family of models.<h3 id="recommended-weight">Recommended weight</h3><code>&lt;lora:brunette-22v2 BG:0.8-0.9&gt;</code>Sweet spot:0.85<hr /><h3 id="cfg">CFG</h3>Works especially well around:<ul><li>CFG 4.5–6.0</li></ul><hr /><h3 id="steps">Steps</h3><ul><li>10–20 steps generally produce excellent results.</li><li>Additional steps mainly refine lighting and texture rather than identity.</li></ul><hr /><h3 id="strengths">Strengths</h3>This version excels at:<ul><li>Photorealistic portraits</li><li>Editorial photography</li><li>Luxury lifestyle</li><li>Fashion photography</li><li>European travel scenes</li><li>Libraries and cafés</li><li>Luxury hotel interiors</li><li>Rooftop city views</li><li>Autumn photography</li><li>Cozy interiors</li><li>Boudoir</li><li>Elegant lingerie</li><li>Sheer robes</li><li>Cinematic black-and-white photography</li></ul><hr /><h3 id="prompting-tips">Prompting Tips</h3>Cara responds best when prompted with descriptive photography language instead of excessive facial detail.Good examples include:<ul><li>soft natural window light</li><li>cinematic lighting</li><li>luxury hotel suite</li><li>editorial portrait</li><li>shallow depth of field</li><li>natural freckles</li><li>realistic skin texture</li><li>warm golden-hour lighting</li><li>dramatic rim lighting</li><li>premium fashion photography</li></ul>The Beautiful Girls checkpoint already understands attractive facial proportions, so heavy prompt weighting for facial anatomy is usually unnecessary.<hr /><h3 id="recommended-negative-prompt">Recommended Negative Prompt</h3><pre><code>(worst quality:1.4), (low quality:1.4), cartoon, anime, illustration, painting, CGI, doll, plastic skin, oversmoothed skin, bad anatomy, bad hands, extra fingers, extra limbs, mutated hands, malformed face, cross-eyed, lazy eye, blurry eyes, duplicate, cloned person, watermark, text, logo, signature, low resolution, jpeg artifacts, oversaturated, overprocessed skin
