I gloss over any Miqo'te characters most of the time because there's just so many, it's just mathematical you'll have more bad characters among them as a result.
So as Au Ra #51412, how are you going to distinguish yourself from all the others?
That's strictly my problem, of course, and I'm sure people have plenty of techniques. But to me being part of the crowd was never my preference.
I actually have pondered this very same thing myself and I'll be rolling an Au Ra. I had the same issue with my Hyur initially and when I made a Miqo'te too. But I consider myself the sort to over-worry/concern myself with that kinda thing I guess? I'm a decent writer/roleplayer (so I'm told) so I'm not sure if that quite makes me smug/hipser or just someone who worries about perceptions too much.
