I started out as a miqo because the one I made felt like a good fit for me, but also at that time I didn't have all of the expansions so I didn't have all of the races unlocked, and I really was mainly interested in au ra and viera. When I did get the expansions, I immediately switched to my au ra after seeing that viera are too tall for me (I vaguely make my character a self insert, lol). When I first made my au ra I wasn't sure if I liked her, but then she grew on me, and I would now call her my most "character that I feel would be the best self insert for myself" in a way. I do go back to my miqo too, but my au ra is my main one.

For my backstory with my au ra it is always changing, so I don't have a set one just as of yet. I see her personality as someone who is sweet but also can be mischievous. While I do see her slightly as a self insert character, it isn't too much so in her personality that I try to relate to mine. I do change her styles up quite a lot as well (hair colour, hair style, etc.) but she mainly always had the lightning hair, or the straight au ra hair.
