I didn't play her yet, but the Highlander I made on previous maintenance was adopted by a Midlander couple. She's also snowflakey as fuck (think tattoos and heterochromic eyes) so I don't know if I'll actually play her or fantasia her into a Midlander woman... or anything else and pay for the name change if SE's gonna get off its ass and let me.
Typically though I try to go with the lore in terms of racial portrayals and against common stereotypes. My Midlander isn't a precious jewel wanting for sempai to notice him. He's flawed but tries to do his best. My Roegadyn is fairly sophisticated and not the giant ruskie stereotype. My Lala is lewd as FUCK and is likely to ask she can oil you up some 'cause she wants to see you glissen, babe.
Though I have said I'd never roll a Miqo, I'm tempted to make an asexual Tia going around challenging Nunhs for their rights to reproduce and just straight up taking them away. I have no motivations other than being a dick for doing this, so I won't do it, but it'd be funny enough to see him try.
