The reasoning behind it is more just what you first said, not wanting to make headline news. She's a Ninja, and her role in the story is to be a spy and a saboteur. It would be hard to fill those roles if everyone and their mother was talking about a Dragon lady walking around.(01-22-2015, 01:36 PM)Ashren Snow Wrote:(01-22-2015, 01:20 PM)Kamome Wrote: I'm assuming there is a reason Yugiri has to keep herself covered up even in the company of her Doman compatriots.
She dresses that way for two reasons. One being an entirely game related design flaw, they introduced her long before they had a model to represent her, so they just used a Miqo'te female and slapped on a custom made set of gear and scaly tail to show she wasn't a Hyur. She more or less states the reason she dresses like that though is because it's customary for Ninjas, it has nothing to do with her race as some people here seem to believe... she has a freaking scaled tail and horns protruding through her hood, she isn't fooling anyone I don't care how Ninja she is.
That's not exactly it, either. She outright tells you she has to hide her appearance because (something akin to) "My kind aren't known here and I don't want to cause any undue distractions or problems." Au Ra aren't currently in Eorzea, and she knows it, so she's trying to not make headline news when a new species of Beastman arrives.
