This unprejudiced view manifests itself in her despite growing up in a household with a father who exhibited somewhat racist tendencies (generally against miqo'te). Â His racism is less a product of any sort of hatred than it was a factor of his upbringing and "that's just how things were back then" in his culture. Â Eva is happy to call a number of miqo'te good friends and sort of thinks that aspect of her father's persona was a bit silly and misguided. Â She and her father seldom saw eye to eye on many things though.
If we're talking about physical attraction (touched upon this a bit in the intimacy poll), she generally keeps to her own race when considering a mate. Â There were issues in the past when a former lover was Wildwood and not Duskwight (from both families). Â She is also often inexplicably attracted to roegadyn men.
Yeah, from what little I know of your character she seems pretty open minded - which is understandable because I believe she is a nurse (right?)
But my question is: What about any misconceptions your character might have about the cultures of other races? Though K'haz has been involved with other races he's still ignorant to some of their culture, which could lead to a few social blunders here and there.Â
For example K'haz comes from a tribal culture so the intricacies of court would escape him. If someone is doing bad things and everyone knows it you leave him stranded out in the middle of the desert - end of story. However not getting rid of some higher up because he has influence? K'haz doesn't get that. This can cause some tension between races that value political rank and noble blood as he just doesn't see the point of it. He grew up among a people where the strongest survived and got to pass on there genetics - not who had the noblest blood.
