Oh cool, I recently changed my character from Elezen to Lalafell (I prefer Lalafell but my friend also then my husband doesn't like them so when we parted ways I immediately went my preferred race just a short why lol) Anyway I have been looking for lore etc. for some years already, google seems miraculously silent on it...

And I agree with OP, I play mine seriously, rather than silly. Smile

(03-20-2014, 12:44 PM)Goodfellow Wrote: Speaking of the lore in terms of personality, we see lalafell portrayed every which way in game: playful/cute, innocent, childish, mature, self-sacrificing, monstrous, sexual, naive, callous, calm, angry, etc.  They're really just people like all the other races, albeit people who tend toward goofier ways of expressing themselves slightly more often than some of the other races.

I tend to see other RPers play their lalafell one of two ways: like they look or juxtaposed to how they look.  That is to say, they play them highlighting either their cutesy childlike qualities or they play up the darkness of their character in a way that clashes with their appearance. 

I think this post covers Lala behavior the best, in my personal opinion. Lalafell are people, just like any of the other races, and thus can act and behave in a wide range of ways. However, several of the PC Lalafell I've come across are as Goodfellow says - usually either wholly embracing the cutesy aesthetic or defying it by being super-serious. Oddly enough, I suppose my Gegenji boys fall into both roles - Chachan I have no issue being adorkable (typo intended) while Gogon is of a far more serious bent. Chachan, however, has had his serious moments and Gogon has had his rare comedic moments as well.

The point is, again, that they're people. And people are complex, multifaceted creatures. So playing them as cutesy, conniving, dark, daring, or any mix of attitudes is completely okay. There is no "right" way to play a Lalafell, just like there is no "right" way to play any of the other races.
