One of the things I think is fascinating in this instance is the fight for transracial characters, and the fact that it is possible to be one. Now as a person who leans towards heavy RP, I personally don't like IC Fantasia use, as I tend to ignore it exists at all as a character (nor would I ever have a reason to change from being a Lala...because well, hello, Lalafell duh best yo!), but I have seen it used in instances where it was part of a plot that I felt was acceptable and supported by lore, however they didn't state it was a Fantasia, and was more of a curse which was placed upon them.
Whatever the case, I agree in this case that for the most part, a great deal of RPers are not going to support a race change with Fantasia, and for good reason. The potion itself was placed in the game for OOC of character reasons, and is used to change characters for OOC reasons in general and then made to fit. This isn't the best approach to a race change for me, if one wants to change their character, then make a new character as a main and make a new story to go with that character, if one would like to keep a character they already have and retcon that background to being a different race, then do that, and I think you will be better accepted than using a scapegoat to justify your OOC decisions to race change.
Otherwise, I say make an alt first of that character, play it for a while, see what you think before you make this kind of decision, which assuming you love your character...is a big one! Then accept that you will be choosing to call some of your RP cred in question, because whether you like it or not, it is clear that is what may be a consequence of this choice.
