ETA - Please don't forget to comment on the character herself! =) It hasn't become that, but I don't want this to only be a Lala vs Miqo thread. =]

So, I'm a bit on the fence as far as what to finally settle on for my main. I'd like to settle before phase 4 starts, and thought I'd feel out some opinions here. =)

I'd originally planned on a Miqo'te (Zha'li's wiki is here!), but spent some time also running around on a Lalafell during phase 3. Sitting around and thinking since I have no beta to play, I came up with a character idea for that Lala that could be fun.

Lala-girl behind the cut:

SpoilerNenemi Nemi (name from phase 3 at any rate) is a young Dunesfolk Lalafell raised in the La Noscea region. Â Her mother died when she was very young, leaving her father to raise her and her older siblings on his own. Â Not considered the brightest of Lalafells, her father had on more than one occasion in his life been ridiculed for his choice to become a blacksmith when his own siblings had followed scholarly pursuits. Â Lacking the size and strength of some of the larger races didn't deter him from his goals either, and his determination was something he passed on to all of his children.

"Nenemi," he would tell her on those nights where funds were tight, often when she was patching up small wounds from his day at work. Â "Never let others tell you who you should be. If you want to do something, be something, you do it. Â Don't just let people toss you around to suit their designs."

Now, part of it was no doubt her father tiring of getting tossed across broken bridges one too many times, but the message was true. Blacksmithing wasn't a path he'd been encouraged to follow, but it was what he wanted, and it'd brought him happiness. Â Learning from her father's example, Nenemi swore to only follow a path in life that would bring happiness, even if it didn't bring wealth or luxury. Leaving home and traveling, Nenemi spent quite a bit of her time as a jack of all trades, wishing to someday become master of at least one.

The Calamity occurred while she was studying botany in Gridania, the young Lalafell caught out in the Shroud at the time. Â Wounded and rescued by one of the Wood Wailers, she was at least spared the full experience of the tragedy, bedridden and protected with other wounded by the Conjurer's of the Twelveswood. Â Once the danger had passed and she was able to travel, Nenemi went immediately home. Â Her father had sustained and injury that would leave him unable to continue his trade, and while her siblings vowed to take care of him, Nenemi decided what she wished to do.

Returning to Gridania, she decided to focus on the healing arts of the Conjurers, learning from those who'd preserved her life in the hopes that she might mend her father's injury further. She's still keeping an eye out for that discipline that will scream 'life's dream' at her, but is happy in her choice for now.

Traits:
- opportunistic
- stubborn
- curious
- adventurous
- loyal

My questions to all of you:
1. Do you have any feedback for her? She's just in the start stages of planning, so she's pretty bare bones.
2. Which of the two would your character possibly have more fun/a more interesting encounter with?

I'm not asking you to tell me which to pick, and I'll certainly be picking the one I like best as a main when the time comes. Â Either of them sound fun to me. =) The class will probably be a CNJ either way.

On the fence - Lala or Miqo
