I would like to say something seriously to this as someone who has taken the love of a highlander. Before Clio joined the game Erik was.... on the market as I am a big boy and can separate games from real life so I could "act" in love without being in love. Clio understood and trusted this so it was what it was.
What came from that was Erik was never with anyone...... not based on race but play style. From beta to about year one, there were very few "strong women", which are the type Erik would be drawn too. I don't think the number of Roes and Highlanders was so much about look as it was that early on there were MANY female characters who were of the timid nature. You know the, "U-um... excuse me Ser... I am... um... could I trouble you...." girls. This sort of character leans itself to the smaller frames I think, as a timid Roe or highlander does not feel right. I think now we are seeing more of those races post say, 2.3, because the newer crop from that time seemed more willing to play the "strong woman lead" as apposed to the "lost princess". Due to that I never found someone right for Erik. By 2.3 Clio had jumped in and our off screen chemistry made us a good match in game. Add to that her tough image that is still feminine, something far more common now then it was, just works for me ic and ooc.
What can I say, confidence/power/strength is sexy.
