Terran
This is the name given to the humans that occupy the region of space that humans have colonised, it is largest and the boarders are known due to it being the first region colonised.
The name they gave themselves was both done by society as a whole but also in the struggle to redefine themselves as they loss their 'home world' due their own arrogance, in making it unlivable for humans, they could only look at it from distance or in special suits if they wish to return. They had done this to themselves in their disregard for consequences, that weren't immediate but built up over time.

Beauty Ideals
The idea of beauty, has gone through many shifts and changes, though now with many 'imperfections' clean out of human DNA, it has developed that natural form is best, meaning a healthy size, a person who is fit, but can still be curvy, acceptance of self has also become a important cornerstone of how beauty is considered.
Remaining still is the desire to be pretty, to be fashionable, but 'size' is something that has been strongly advocated that all humans are ideal, they are what the Creator made them to be. For men there is still strength that is consider important, but so to are brains (both genders), showing off ethnic roots are also important in regards to how one dresses, the style of clothes they favour.
