[Request] More Au Ra representation on next expansion?

[Iplewhelmed]

I just want a MALE au ra character in the msq that isn't a complete joke. Either they are comic relief like Magnai, or irrelevant like Ahewann, or a meme like Nabhdeen. It's so tiresome and honestly feels like the devs hate male au ra for some reason.

Sidurgu in the Dark Knight class quests come pretty close to what I want in terms of balancing seriousness and lighthearted moments, but he is trapped forever in side content and thus it's 100 % possible to play through the game without knowing he even exist.

JUSTICE FOR MALE AU RA!

Ironically, I think more races/clans need the au ra treatment. We get to visit and learn about multiple places where au ra live (the Azim Steppe, Sui-no-Sato in the Ruby Sea, Thavnair), which is something that a number of races/clans haven't gotten. I'd like to visit a village of duskwight elezen, moon miqo'te, or hellsguard roegadyn.

I won't deny that there's a noticeable lack of important au ra NPCs outside of Stormblood, though. And the one(?) time we had a somewhat important and serious character who appeared as a male au ra in the MSQ, they gave his face a completely different look than what players' male au ra can have, which makes me think they're regretting some of the aesthetic choices they made with male au ra faces. That might even be part of why they're so rare in the story.

I know this is an exceptionally stale opinion coming from a Dark Knight main, but, man, I love Sidurgu. I'd say they should put him in the MSQ, logic and quest continuity be damned, but the writers have been handing out Scion Standard Issue Blandification Arcs like candy lately, so I probably wouldn't be happy with the result.
