What does change when you arrive at the Azim Steppe?

So, I started playing the game as a Xaela Au'ra but after almost 300 hours of gameplay I got tired of the color of my skin (Dark Blue) and used a Fantasya. I wanted to still be a Xaela, just change the color of my skin, but after a while I decided to go to something completely different and changed into a Miqo'te.

Now I've arrived at the Azim Steppe, with a bit of regret for having changed my race and been wondering what would happen differently if I was still a Xaela. There are any changes in dialogue/lore related to that in this specific part?

And would anything change as well if I was a Raen when I arrived at Yugiri's village?

There's a line from Hien something to do with the "land of your ancestors" if you're a xaela, and a few bits of very slightly changed dialogue in some of the side quests.

I don't think there's anything different if you're a raen in Sui-no-Sato. 99.9% of all raen have nothing to do with the village and everyone there already knows you're an outsider so an outsider raen wouldn't be different to them than an outsider viera.

Most of the game doesn't reference your race at all beyond a rare "Hey, you hyur!" and a few sparse extra bits that go just a little bit beyond that. Off the top of my head, the only drastic differences in the game based on the race you play, is dialogue and access in the 2 dwarf towns in Shadowbringers if you're a lalafell.

Hien just says that your ancestors would be proud of you whether you were steppe-born or otherwise prior to entering Bardam's Mettle, and the buuz seller in Reunion remarks that she shouldn't need to explain how good her product is to a Xaela.

That's the full extent of Xaela-specific dialogue to my recollection.

Magni will ask you if you're his moon if you're an Au Ra female. Not sure if there is more of you're a Xaela instead of a Raen.

There's no apostrophe in Au Ra, my friend.
