Story behind changing to Au Ra?

[Cilia]

I was going to say...As far as I'm concerned, people only acknowledge you as "Warrior of Light" after some revelation and all. Other than 'He' or 'She' is changed depending on your gender at the time. Racial was never even considered during story development IIRC. If you ever played White Knight Chronicles, it's essentially the same thing. Your character is just an avatar that just happens to be there. Though you technically play a bigger role than WKC's Avatar(like really...Why can't I enter the damn Knights!?)

Well some people do refer to you by name or Mr. / Ms. (Mrs. if you're married, I guess?), just never in voiced scenes for obvious reasons. While this works for most races it... doesn't, really, for miqo'te. Especially males.

I think the original question was supposed to be "how do I explain how my character became an Au Ra if I use a phial of Fantasia?" To which the answer is... magic. A wizard did it.

Fantasy world. Sex change. etc. Whatever the reason you want it to be. Just be wary it's not going to be acknowledged by anyone outside of Gender responses for obvious reasons~
