=o Thank you guys! Wasn't expecting to get such positive feedback for my au ra, esp. since I don't really add much to my characters and try to keep them simple. I may try changing a few choices here and there but I'll try to keep this design. Still not entirely sure I'll switch over from my miqo'te
^ differen't angle for the person who was wondering if hair looked good 'cuz of angle

Yeap..we better get used to that. >.> Seeing as how they haven't said a word on being able to separate face from the horn. I can't tell you how many other Raen look like a carbon copy of mine so far hahah gonna be lots of sisters/cousins running around apparently...

Au Ra sadly has the least amount of options available to them or customization when compared to the other races.
Not as many tail options as Miqo'te
Not as many Shapes as the other races (nose, eyes etc)
And they are missing 4 face paint options which the other races get by default
(full face paint, Bruised skin, Freckles, and Eyebrow paint)
The major part of an Au Ra is the Horns as well especially on certain face shapes, the horns also show outside helmets and Robes.
A friend mentioned that Yoshi-P said during the Nico 2015 stream that all features that were not going to be for Au Ra made it in the Benchmark.
This shocked me since during an interview with CruchyRoll this was said:

There has been some criticism for the female version of the new race, the Au Ra. Some people think that they are too pretty. Will we be able to make them more monster like?
With the Au Ra, this includes both female and male, the emphasis during character creation is on the horns. You'll be able to focus heavily on creating the horns. The face structure, for this race, is a little different than what you're currently familiar with. There is a certain direction that isn't really reptilian, but more succubus-like, or demon-like.
When we were considering the options, there were mentions of making female Au Ra more stocky and buff. However the data that's been complied about what race and gender are being used, indicate that Hyur Highlander females and Roegadyn females are not used by very many players. We definitely took that into consideration when finalizing the design of female Au Ra. To reiterate though, there is the option to make her more demon- or succubus-like.
The quote about female highlanders and roegadyns bothers me to be honest. First of all, I see more female highlanders on my server than I do midlanders. There's nothing "stocky" about either of them. If you strip them down to their under garments, both are very slim and toned, no where near the word "stocky". "Stocky" would be a male roegadyn. Also, just because the majority of people may not play them considering the demographics are 90 percent miqotes doesn't mean they wouldn't want to see others playing as them for diversity purposes. Many of the cat girls I know love my roe and say they love seeing other races than just cats running around. Making all female au'ra petite versions looking nothing like the males is silly. They should have gone the midlander/highlander route and made one subrace taller and more menacing than the other that way everyone is happy. You can get your cute subrace and your more "tough" one. Lastly, I think its noteworthy to mention the forums and even among the servers people have commented on how they dislike the gender differences between the two. At least male/female of the other races look like they'd be part of the same race.
