I find it interesting when a character is shaped by his/her experiences. The xenophobic nationalism common to places like Ishgard is a good example of this. When I first started playing Yvelont, he had plenty of misgivings about the more unfamiliar races - Miqo'te in particular, as after he came to Gridania, everything he heard about the local Keepers painted them as poachers and brigands. Over time, his outlook began to change as he began working with and even befriending these heretofore unfamiliar peoples. He even took on one of these "poachers" as an apprentice, to teach her to better defend and hunt for her clan.
In roleplay, I love coming across more traditional Ishgardian characters just for the contrast.
