No one calls anyone "bijin" as a nickname in Japanese.
You understand "sempai" is not a nickname. It is a term of respect.
You are essentially asking "How do I force my habit of calling people by nicknames on someone who doesn't like it?"
You have two choices: force her to change, or honor her wishes. The choice you make will depend on how much you care and respect her.
