An individual competent and of good appearance (10)
I believe the answer is:
personable
'and of good appearance' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'an individual competent' is the wordplay.
'an individual' becomes 'person' ('person' can be a synonym of 'individual').
'competent' becomes 'able' (similar in meaning).
'person'+'able'='PERSONABLE'
