I learned to RP in a place called Furcadia (don't judge me -_-), where the original anthropomorphic Aysun was inspired, visually, by:
Cute. The rest of her personality I just sorta came up with as I went. Wasn't really based on anything in particular other than what I wanted to play, a spunky shorthaired girl. Anyway, I used the name in XI and didn't RP, but when I started XIV I had to RP! Her basic personality is similar to what she had in Furcadia. That's what I went into XIV with. Barebones personality. Didn't even have a backstory made up yet.
I chose the history I did for her because of my own ignorance about the lore of Eorzea. I wanted her to have a reason not to know many things about it, but not be foreign. So she was raise on a tradeship! I made up her "traditional" name and reason for not using it shortly after I started playing and realized that all Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te had the apostrophe thing going on. Personality-wise, everything just sort of comes together. Like ^they said about their character, there's a reason behind everything Aysun does as well. Even if it's the fact that she sometimes acts irrationally and does things without reason.
She's changed quite a bit through RP over the last few years, needless to say, and I love that.
