Well, try not only to consider how she is viewed by other but how she views herself!. Maybe she could be in front of the mirror while she's giving it!. start off with something like "I didn't ask to be pretty, that just happened" and then talk about how people view pretty people!. things like "she's pretty, she can't be nice" or "i can't talk to her, she's too good-looking"!.
also consider what her family is like!. How's her father!? Was her mother also pretty when she way younger!? Does she have siblings!? What do they have to say about her popularity!? How is she doing in school!? How do teachers treat her!?

Hope it helped
