	Although not immediately obvious, there are only 4 distinct faces currently available in the core assets. These brown-eyed women come with various hair colors and styles, as well as necklines designed for different types of bodies. If you look closely, you'll see that the corners of their lower lips are lightened... to hint at vampire fangs! In early TDM, females were considered "Vampire Girls".		Although not immediately obvious (due to a sea of both asset aliases and male faces), there are only 4 distinct up-to-date female faces currently available in the core assets. These brown-eyed women come with various hair colors and styles, as well as necklines designed for different types of bodies. If you look closely, you'll see that the corners of their lower lips are lightened... to hint at vampire fangs! In early TDM, females were considered "Vampire Girls".

	[Figure 0. A Female03 head placed on a townsfolk body. (a) The default offsetHeadModel value of "1.7 0 -1.2" leaves a transparent gap at the lower edge of the neckline. Recall that an AI’s surface textures are one-sided, so transparent if viewed from inside. (b) the head is moved back and down to "1.0 0 -2.0", which works well both from the angle shown here and from a side view.		[[File:Non-default Female03 head as townsfolk.png\|thumb\|left\|Figure 5. A non-default Female03 head placed on a townsfolk body.]]

			The figure to the left retains the body's default offsetHeadModel value of "1.7 0 -1.2". This hides part of the collar, and leaves a transparent gap at the lower edge of the neckline. Recall that an AI’s surface textures are one-sided, so transparent if viewed from inside.

-The first two categories have plunging, shoulder-revealing necklines; the last two are more demure. While the upper chest of a noblewoman is part of the head model, for the wench it's part of the body model. If you use a default head, or select a head whose interface matches the body, it fits without further effort. However, with jiggering, heads and bodies can usually be interchanged across categories, except for the noblewoman.
