That said, they said back in March they had the naming schemes fully realized, so I don't imagine it would take that long to translate them. I just want to be able to name this tough cutie:

P.S. I really will send them a pizza if they get it out before the end of the month.

Your design kinda makes me reconsider that hairstyle even though i didnt originally like it. Maybe it's just cause I went with face 4 cause it fits the kinda dark/evil look I was going for XD

I'm going to be keeping the name I've always had for my character, but even I'm disappointed that the naming conventions have been delayed. My curiosity is in overdrive and I was looking forward to reading a little more about the Au-ra.

Oh well, soon. :)

Draw them however you wish, that doesn't change the fact that Auri ladies were clearly designed to be moe or bishoujo.

The hairstyle really makes the look. The bangs covering the eye gives a mysterious charm I can't quite place ^_^

Yeah Mahri, while I dig the rad art, Cilia is right, Au Ra girls were designed to be "moe", much to my disappointment. Kinda wonder how many folks would make Xaela if they followed a more highlander esque appearance over midlander

I must not self-deny. I will learn to accept this. I will be the right kind of moe.

e. in seriousness I'm okay with it. I fancy a bit of bishoujo elegance, and I've got the perfect glamours in mind to really bring it out. It's the aforementioned lack of muscle sliders that's the only thing that get to me, and maybe could stand to be taller too.

I'll be your anime big sis (there's a word for this, I'm not gonna look it up) even at 5'2".

Sadly, no matter how many pictures I see, I have not seen one that didn't look tiny, waifish, and moe like. Not what I like to play as, I'd love to see them similar to the males in height and musculature. :(

Maybe 'cuz it's literally impossible to make a female Au Ra who isn't tiny and waifish? It's possible to downplay the ~uguu, but their body shape, size, and language just don't lend themselves to being big and burly like the males.

I like to think I've made a more realistically beautiful image, but I guess not :(
