Evolution of your character

[Gilraen]

Well, understandably, noone had problems with men dressing as women back then. Happened all the time though the names of dress were wide and varied ("It's not a dress, these are my robes!"). Further, actors often portrayed women in theater because women weren't allowed to do much of anything... The problems arose only when women wanted to do anything that wasn't deemed 'appropriate for a woman'. It's what cost Joan d'Arc her life despite everything she'd done for France.

Alright, let's give it ago...

This is a story of a young Miqo'te by the name of Aria Reis...



Don't let the attire fool you, her main class was an ARC/BRD. Throughout her journey, she has gone through changes...





Not too soon after, she soon decided to go by her real name (Read: The name I wanted her to have in the first place): Xiaomu Xiang. And with it came a new default look:



With the aftermaths of the final patch before Heavensward, I decided now was a good time have Xiaomu go through some... drastic changes...



However, after about a week or so, I missed my kitty and decided to change her back.

Her current look as of right now:



Though her streaks are currently pink as of this posting. I do have alts that, sadly, don't receive near as much dedication as Xiaomu does.

Hume in XI obviously (Richter was my name on there too!), only screen I had of my character in 1.0 had the onion helm on (I got him to level 6 or something due to my laptop being unable to run the game for more than 30 minutes before overheating and shutting down), he's still on Balmung too), went male Miqo'te in 2.0 on Coeurl since my friends and brother couldn't join Balmung at launch, and then fantasia back to hyur because I got sick of how manthra's run.



My "mule" in XI (had fun leveling her to 60 RDM no subjob lol) turned into my alt in XIV 2.0 (as stated above, I only got to level 6 or so in 1.0 on one character). Wanted to keep her looking similar in XIV. Had a couple hair changes, then Au'ra. Thinking about going back to hyur though, I only switched because I despise the midlander girl running animation.

I started in march of 2014 as an elezen.(I started getting bored of it since most glamour sets at the time didn't look good and something about being really skinny and tall was bothering me.)



I went Hyurr sometime around October of 2014 (being "plain" really started bothering me. not to mention midlander has the worst run animation)


Roughly around March of 2015 i was getting really envious of other people being a lalafell, and I decided to become one.


Because of personal problems I was facing this summer and still wanting to be a lalafell I decided to try dunefolk.


On a random impulse from getting annoyed with how pinkish my landfall's skin was I wen't kitty =3.

[Emerald_Wyvern]

I started as a male Keeper. Unfortunately, all my pictures of 2.0 and 2.1 are on my old, broken computer. So the earliest I have is this one from roughly 2.2... I think.


Swapped to female Keeper during 2.2.


Changed faces at some point.


Had a moment as a Seeker.


I gave being a Lalafell a few shots. I always missed my tail though so it never stuck.


This is me near the end of 2.5 or maybe 2.55. I'm not sure. I grew rather attached to the Ironworks gear despite hating it at first.


After getting full Law gear in 3.0. I was certain I was gonna keep that ponytail...


... and now I've gone for short hair while using my full Eso gear.

My character's evolution may not be as drastic as some, but she's changed a fair bit still.
