They're - by and large - a bunch of devious, underhanded buggers, who tear down those who don't think they're some form of threat. Lalafell can be damned scary, and not necessarily always with finance in mind. You ever seen a lalafell with a great axe, cleaving people into chunks on the field of battle? My character has. And he's shit-scared of them.Back on topic XD. My lalafell is a 21 year old female, she isn't played like a child at all, currently she is having a sort of issue with being a lalafell because she feels she is treated like a child. She is very intelligent, and doesn't act childish at all. Physically she has the new ponytail hairstyle and a somewhat younger look to her. I think people are surprised when they discover she is the way she is.
Course I know I will always get random hugs, and tells saying how cute I look.
Sadly, "looking young/cute" may be something she's haunted with for a great many cycles. I'd definitely recommend the advice given above, which is "exploit it". If someone isn't going to take your character seriously despite her being a serious character, it'll ultimately become a game of trying to convince the person, or exploiting them ICly in such a way that they make a fool of themselves.
Or...you'll want to find people who'll take your character seriously from the start. Perhaps find ways for her to get introduced to the people you normally RP with, and their friends.
