Hello~
I've recently entered the RP arena as well with my character who was a miqo'te... then lalafell, then miqo'te, then lalafell again before I decided to establish her as such. I play a lalafell as my main on another server than Balmung, so old habits die hard I suppose.
Anyhow.
The way I see it, portrayal of your character is key to getting people either to take you seriously or not. Also probably how they dress as well. Someone is more likely to take a lalafell seriously if they're in finery and/or battle armor. If the same lalafell was in beggar clothing or something a harlot would wear.... then yeah.
My two cents.
