I have difficulty roleplaying an Au Ra and I haven't even made one.
Hah!
But in all seriousness, I can see where you're coming from. Since its the new thing to be, there's a ton of "Flavor Of The Month"-ing going on with people making new Au Ra or using a Fantasia to repurpose an older character, and with limited lore available for their mannerisms, I've seen multiple interpretations of them. Some people type them as having accents or broken "English" to represent their foreign nature, some people don't. Some roleplay them as being very knit into clan concepts, others play them as odd loners who don't really fit a mold. Some people seem to believe that the Au Ra females made the long journey to Ul'dah to pursue the valiant quest of becoming scantily clad attention-bait.
Were it me, I'd examine first the question "what do /I/ want to get out of this character's story", and then link up with other Au Ra players who are of a like mind. If it's not the same as everybody else's vision of their racial lore, so what. Yours came from a different clan or whatever, so they're different, everyone gets to do their thing, and life carries on.
