Well, I personally tend to judge people more by what they're wearing and such than I do their class or job. If your character is wearing something deeply impractical but highly ornate, that says a lot about them right there (i.e. that they put personal appearances over personal comfort). This can fall apart in the case of players who don't really give their RP outfits that much thought but, um, well, I can't say I really want to RP with such individuals to begin with.
But okay, T'rahnu. See, the problem with T'rahnu is that she is actually a budding weapon master, and there is literally no way for me to properly represent that in-game. I can't really have her holding a spear, a bow, claws, and an axe at the same time, after all (though it would be really nice if I could have those hanging off of my chocobo...). So that first impression of her, if you take her current weapon as an indicator of her focus, can be really highly misleading.
So that's one of the reasons I tend to look at outfits over weapons. ...Hmm, actually, that's pretty much the primary reason. I already know that it can be a poor indicator as it is, so I focus on other things. Yep. That's how it goes.
