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!

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?

even though the ginger options can be quite limited (hard to explain it fully, but I guess the limited hair selection is similar to how they skipped violet as a option) I often find the shades of ginger used very nice on the eyes. Also, I really like the grinmore you have there.

The grimoire is called Ethica. It's a very pretty one, with butterflies and flowers. The type of drop you'd expect from a place like Dohn Mheg... except it drops from Castrum Abania?? It has never made sense that the pretty Fairy-looking book drops from a Garlean castle, while Dohn Mheg's weapons barely look fae at all.

As for the ginger options, I think it just stuck because how pretty I think orange and green can look together, and it's not a combo I see too often in XIV. I've dyed my hair a couple times IRL, but the eye color I'd need contacts, and I hate contacts.

Maybe the Garleans stole it? They steal land, so they likely steal pretty things too.

Also I too hate contacts lol This is why I wear glasses instead. Also very true. I usually see cherry red hair instead. In all fairness, cherry red is a pretty hair color.

Edit: Read the comment below me and did a short search. I think the weapon you are thinking of is Aurora

Dohn Mheg's weapons are recolours of the Abania weapons.

Realizing this after years has made me depressed...

Oh no, Aurora is for SMN. I was talking about Ethica, which is the SCH one. Then again, it's just 4 recolors of a single design for the Abania and (as I just realized) Dohn Mheg gimoires.

I just want more actual Fae-looking things.

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?

She has trouble getting to sleep unless she's exhausted. She constantly goes over things that happened, particularly unpleasant things, wondering if she could've done something differently. She really tries not to think about those kinds of things, because what happened happened and there's no changing it, but she gets into thought spirals about them anyway.
