So I'm sitting here trying to flesh out character/NPC ideas and concepts when I get to this one interesting case. So there's a female student at a magical school who loves nothing but to read about and study magic. All she does is reading while sitting in her comfy armchair. One of her traits i that she doesn't walk because why walk when you're skilled enough in levitation that you doesn't have to? And this leads me to the question: What kind of wounds and diseases would you get from malnutrition, no physical activity what so ever, sleep deprivation and sitting on your butt all day long?
Also general concept discussion thread, I guess.

Bedsores, obesity, hypertension, depression, eye strain, muscle atrophy, diabetes... come on anon, a quick google-search on "malnutrition" or "lack of activity" could have answered these for you.More to the point, if she's so magical she can just float everywhere, why hasn't she just made herself a construct body or something that won't suffer the drawbacks of being an organic meatsack?

OP had a picture of a pretty girl and needed an excuse to post it on /tg/.

Someone who sits around all day and takes less care of their body than the typical American isn't going to be a "pretty" girl.

Great points! I knew posting my questions here would yield me some insights I've looked over. I was going more with the "she does nothing so she doesn't feel when she gets hungry/ignores it and just doesn't eat until someone tells her "come on, you need to eat something." So she would be anorexic tier skinny rather than obese. Bedsores and muscle weakness/degradation were the first thoughts that came to mind when I toyed with the idea. But I find it hard when searching around about such injuries to fully grasp the severity of those conditions and what level of the you would get.
Which kind of leads us to the very great point you made about "Why not build yourself a better body?" Would the conditions she dragged upon herself be so painful that going through the grand process of replacing your human body be worth it? She know there is magic that can do this, there are a few students way less cunning and with lesser magic skills than she have that have done it. Maybe she's against the thought of replacing her body because it scares her or disgusts her? Perhaps she is taking an easy way out by just blocking out the pain, a much easier way to handle the problem though it wouldn't solve it?

Though it seems to me that with magic, she can stay healthy and look as pretty as she'd like.
