Pretty much this. I just spent a few hours making a character I liked, I like green eyes so went with green. I was gonna go for purple hair as it's my favorite colour but I decided I wanted a more natural looking colour so went with red/brown. Added blonde highlights as my own hair in real life is highlighted blonde. My character started out pale skinned. She was like this in Beta (left), then changed to the right at launch when they allowed us to recustomise:



I changed the heterochromia because it was really common, and noticed as the quote above, whitewashed kitties everywhere. So I tanned up due to my special snowflake syndrome.
The red tattoo? I dunno. I thought it was cute, chose red as it went well with the skin tone and it suited the white/red WHM robes. The face I chose was just because I liked the stripe markings. Eyes etc are just what is attractive to me I guess. Character doesn't look like me at all except the fact I have green eyes (though not as nuclear green lol) and blonde highlights.
