I often play at least one human in every MMO, so Astrid was easily Midlander for that purpose. Back in 1.0, I never planned on RPing, so I chose Miqo'te because it was cute. Once ARR rolled around, I said why deviate? And I shifted the character into Y'raja. I had fun crafting her family tree and backstory, something that Seeker lore lended itself to.
As for my Au Ra... They're shiny and new, don't get on my nerves, and have brought plenty of potential for interesting RP developments. So I said why not?
