I certainly utilise mine for the sake of light-hearted, cutesy RP; not because it's how I perceive lalafel in general, but because their design easily caters to it. He is quite young, however.
The laugh animation is just... fucking terrible.
Can you imagine, say, Papashan just putting their hand in front of their mouth and giggling like a six year old? 'cause that's what they'd have him do with the stock lala animation.
The thing with Lalas is that they're not childlike, but they are very expressive. It's not just "Welcome to this establishment." It's "WELCOME HONORED TRAVELLER! TO THE BEST INN IN THE LAND!" with the jumping for joy and everything.
At least animation wise.
I could see a DRK Lala from Ul'dah viewing themselves as Thal's reaper.
Too bad my Lala is a pure, chaste lady who seeks only join the ranks of the Sultansworn... who'll then be pushed away from that goal by a much more grandiose fate.
