Charisma
The ability to draw interest and establish personal appeal.
Overview
Charisma is personal appeal: the ability to attract attention, inspire interest, and make people want to engage. It supports rapport, confidence, and an appealing presence. Physical beauty is represented separately by Looks, so an attractive character need not be charismatic and a charismatic one need not be conventionally beautiful.
