My short attention span and commitment issues mean I've had a fanta addiction and have basically no attachment to characters I make and even have different usernames on different platforms.

I spent the first 5 years or so of the game including 1.0 as a varying cast of pretty boys (my forum name comes from a short lived one I had at the time) and after I thought I'd been everything I liked, I then changed my name to something more feminine and started swapping between the girls. I've pretty much settled for my Midlander girl and stopped using fanta as often, but I had the itch and recently changed to Miqo using the anniversary as an excuse since my 2.0 character was a (male) Miqo.

Midlanders are rarer though since everyone else thinks they're boring which ironically makes them more unique. The princess run doesn't bother me and having no ears or tail means everything fits perfectly with no clipping. Having more hair options than the other races also helps prevent me from using fantasia. Others have commented that my Midlander looks too much like a real person and not fantasy enough but I've had random people send me tells commenting on her so it balances out.
