This was a cool idea for a thread, Custard! I like that you're responding to each post.

Does she like the Eorzean equivalent of easter or any holiday prominently featuring chocolate? I love how in lore, any name is a canon viera name. That is how I have a viera named Rosemary Tea (side note: I later looked this up after making him and rosemary tea is quite bitter).

Hatching-tide Day confuses her greatly, but she appreciates the occasion like any other Eorzean holiday. It also has some similarities to a Viera celebration for their fertility goddess (completely made that up), so Kukuru feels a bit nostalgic during that time.

She absolutely loves Valentione's Day, especially after becoming famous because of all the chocolate gifted to her during the holiday.

Isn't it cool how Viera names function? I was going to change her full name, but decided to just change the forename, since Kukuru Dei-Ijla sounds nice together. Plus, she will always have pride in her tribe, even though she adopted a new home/"tribe" (with the Scions).

Rosemary tea... y'know, I don't think I've ever had any, which is a shame. Makes for a cute name, though. Maybe your Viera adds sugar to his tea to make it sweet?

according to google rosemary tea has strong pine notes with undertones of citrus. Now, this is assuming you made tea with fresh rosemary. Often, storage time can change the flavor of herbs and spices (usually mellowing them out. This is why, for example, you want most of your spices kept away from light when not in use). I can imagine sugar would do it favor, though I would need to do more research on this specific tea. Some teas benefit from lemon/lime juice or some other additives (or none. Some like their tea without anything else). Oh! fun tea fact! Some teas change color from additives or oxidizing. Butterfly pea tea changes color if you add lemon juice. Butterfly pea tea starts out a deep blue and will turn pink when lemon juice is added. Burdock tea starts out yellow when first brewed. Once it oxidizes it goes from a light yellow to emerald green. I have drank burdock tea and it tastes strongly of cucumber (said to have health benefits. But honestly? The best benefit is the water! I didn't really like burdock tea when I brewed a fresh, prepared root that I harvested... For some reason I do not like the flavor of cucumbers).

Valentine's day also has a lot of romantic undertones. I wonder how she feels about that. Honestly though, yes the chocolate has to be my favorite part of the holiday too! Especially the day after when they go on sale X3
I love how Viera names function. It is the ultimate flexibility. It lead me to see some silly names that made me smile while I do roulettes.

My main character, Brynne, is a moon kitty whose mother was fascinated with Hyurs (how she got her name). She's practical, logical, and generally prefers to carefully consider her actions. The number of times the WOL has to immediately act without time for consideration drives her crazy, but she's also pretty decent at improvisation due to how much she overthinks everything in advance.

I mainly chose Miqo'te because I love cats, and Keeper of the Moon because I liked the lore better than the Seekers.

Sounds like she has lots of thoughts. How well does she sleep? Whenever I overthink I find I struggle to sleep. What does she think of a lot? What does she try not to think about too much?

reminds me of how Miqo'te M's max height is 5' 8" or 172.72 cm. That is about my height. Whenever my character would stand next to an NPC, he would often feel short anyways (even though it is technically an average human height for men?). Glad you found a race you enjoy! If I may ask, what is her current backstory that you have thought up for her (even if this may change tomorrow)?

Aww yeah, the heights in this game are usually different compared to how irl heights work. And not much of a backstory I suppose, mine is pretty generic. Her leaving her homeland because she didn't feel welcomed anymore, and wanted something bigger in life. But also her spreading troubles at times where she goes (gotta give her that small evil side to her as well). Originally I thought about making her some half void sent, but not sure if that is *TOO* generic, I'm still thinking about it though!

[MikkoAkure]

Oh wow, I'd live to see your midlander! Though, her looking very close to a real person is interesting- don't know if I have ran into that too much myself. I have seen the occasional character with modern clothes on as their glam.

It’s less that the character themselves look hyper-realistic but more that Midlanders in general look more familiar and less fantasy. I’m not at home but funny enough I did find a screenshot of my character wearing modern clothes on a friends’ discord:

And one in my normal glam during the time I tried a slightly more fantasy eye color:

sometimes I think of giving character evil traits as a treat. And not necessarily! Even simple backstories may draw from personal experiences at some degree. Generic isn't always bad either! It really depends ^^ I knew someone who had a half voidsent character- though I do wonder if in game we will ever get even more canon lore on this?

Very true- midlanders look a lot like humans because well- they are modeled on them. I guess a lot of players aren't entirely used to that being in the game (which is understandable given that a lot of races look a bit different from your average human! and hyur isn't the most popular choice per say).
I like your character- she looks very well put together! I always appreciate it when glams incorporate color!
