I may be a bit late to the character evolution party but it prompted me to look back through my 10+GB screenshot archive and I was so surprised to rediscover what my character used to look like and how much she's changed @.@

I started playing the game because I'd seen screenshots of cute catgirls and I wanted one too so when I first made her, my objective was to be as cute and sweet and sugary as possible. I went with a mooncat and a cold, blue-purple-white colour scheme, the fluffiest tail and generally a wintery aesthetic. It was January so I guess that was just the mood I was in.
https://i.ibb.co/zRvqD3s/1-Start-AAR.png

As I was going through AAR, her colour scheme started leaning more towards pink and I traded snow freckles for eyeshadow. But at that point I was starting to get annoyed with how goofy my character's expressions looked in some cutscenes. I was thinking of toning down the sugar a bit.

https://i.ibb.co/NNPNbfv/2-EndAAR.png
https://i.ibb.co/gwyF4r9/2-End-AAR2.png

Around the same time I started thinking of Fantasiaing into a suncat because I kept running into so many pretty ones, both NPCs and players, and I'd also picked up Bard and wanted to try a fiercer and more flamboyant look to match. As soon as I got my free end-of-AAR Fantasia, I made the switch. Sadly... it wasn't long before I regretted it. I hated the new clanmarks and the face itself looked *too* fierce and darkening her eyes made it even worse, the contrast was too much. In a lot of cutscenes, she just looked angry all the time. I overdid it and instead of balancing the sugar, she lost most of it.

https://i.ibb.co/sVG17Jt/3-Bard.png
https://i.ibb.co/ynx3n6T/3-Bard2.png

After the first few quests of HW I decided to pop another Fanta. I went back to cute, but this time I was shooting for a "kind" kind of cute rather than the original childish. It worked! I'd finally struck gold! I was so happy with this look that it stayed pretty much the same through the rest of HW and all of SB. Over time, I made some small changes to skin/eye colour and went through a couple of different tails but those were just finishing touches.

https://i.ibb.co/DL7hfRD/4-HW-SB.png
https://i.ibb.co/qCh3kQv/4-HW-SB2.png

I did have one moment of ABSOLUTE RAVING MADNESS when I wanted to try an Au Ra as I was stepping into Stormblood and seeing so many of them around... So I bought a Fanta, made the change... and it lasted all of 2 minutes before I panicked and bought another just to revert it! I couldn't bear to lose my Miqo >.< After that I just decided to make an Au Ra alt so I could have the cake and eat it. I've been playing both of them regularly ever since.

Anyways, fast-forward to Shadowbringers, I ended up changing her look again... a few times. On a whim, I decided I wanted to make her look a little younger (as a Warrior of Darkness should be, naturally) so I shortened her tail, added a little blush, made her eyes droopier and gave her twintails. I also felt heterochromia was a bit too much so I settled on just yellow for the eyes to contrast more sharply with the pink hair.

https://i.ibb.co/LvxWwyq/5-Start-Sh-B.png

The last change I've made so far was another makeover shortly after finishing the MSQ. At first, I intended to just change her hair because I couldn't get used to the twintails and the texture quality on that hair kept bothering me, especially in cutscenes with all the closeups and under different lighting conditions. I also didn't like the shadow the bang was casting on her face.
However, I didn't want to go back to the ponytail so I tried to explore different options and eventually arrived at the fluffy pigtails style I really wanted to try... but it framed her face in a very different way that exposed the sides, and in turn the clan marks. I never liked how much short styles made the clan marks pop so... after much agonising and creating a lot of dummy characters to test and compare different solutions, I decided to go with the nuclear option and just remove them! I was at first afraid it would massively decrease the cuteness factor, but I was happily wrong! It turned out perfect! <3

Ooh pretty. Not sure the best way to say this is the favorite one of a miqo with that hair. Well done! <3

I finally gave in and got reshade...I'm in love...

Oh man, character evolution party eh?

Well can't get more evolutionary than starting out as a Hyur Midlander.

https://i.imgur.com/2SsP8IL.png

Then around October 2018, at the behest of a friend (I don't talk to her anymore), I Fantasia'd into a Male Seeker of the Sun.

https://i.imgur.com/NoNkZd9.jpg

The only changes I've made since then are just changing his hair colour from black to white.

Glamour truly is the real endgame. It doesn't matter how amazing you are at the game or how good you parse if you don't LOOK GOOD while you do it!

I agree. Glamour and screenshots are the end games for most of us. Showing off your most recent look is so much more fun than raiding and all its stress.

Taking a shot at: My cat through the ages.

Belatedly.

Started out as a young Moon Cat. Changed hairstyles around a bit.

Back to Moon Cat, using the unpopular "older" face, but I think it suits him well.

Honestly, with the right hairstyle the "unpopular" face is the one I find the most attractive. Not for me to use but to look at on others :)

Case in point:

Lovely Miqo'te, Lily!
If you don't mind, can I trouble you for your skin color values? I'm looking for a similar skin tone, but my choices always end up looking too red/pink or too yellow. I'd love to try yours out and see how it works for me!

Welcome back to the saint path of Miqo'te players!

(was bard, changed to MCH later on)

i was absolutely nervous about tanking for the first time, and i'm slowly getting to level cap as of now. taking baby steps. there's a lot more responsibility, but i don't regret it!
sorry for the awfully long post.

Never apologize for sharing pictures of a handsome Miqo'te! ^_^
