Honestly, those who know me are probably really surprised by my choice of Hyur over Elezen because of my obsession with playing elven mages every chance I get. (I'm still making a Black Mage, though.) I guess I just wanted a change. And after seeing just how big and clunky the Elezen are in-game, I'm glad I went that way because I just don't like being that tall. (Probably something to do with my being short IRL.) That "I don't want to be some big hulking chick" mentality is also why I went with Midlander rather than Highlander.
So... No real story reason for my choices, lol. It was more of a personal preference/aesthetic reason. Call me shallow, I don't care. I stand by my choice.
Oddly enough, this character was loosely based on the main character I played in Skyrim and had a name before I made the final race/clan decision. Luckily, it ended up fitting pretty well with the naming conventions and went with her actual character background. So I guess I lucked out pretty well.
To be fair, though, I'm also planning to make a non-RP Lalafell just because they're cute and I'm going to need some cuteness to escape to when my RP character's life starts taking darker turns.
