Chose Highlander b/c she was the coolest looking character the CC randomly generated for me. I am maining WAR so I like the physicality of the highlander female for that.

Also, I am interested in the whole Ala Mhigo/Garlean Occupation/Underground Resistance Movement story that seems to be shaping up and I wanted my girl to have a personal stake in that, so in my headcanon, she's Ala Mhigan on her mother's side. The part of the Main Scenario where you go to Little Ala Mhigo certainly felt extra special to me as a result of my racial choice as well.

Plus highlander females have the *best* emotes. So expressive. lol
