She's obscure as all hell and those that know about her are literally just... 'Meh' about her. There was VERY little worry about inconsistency when it came to changing her; I knew that hardly anyone would even notice, hence why I did it C:
You ought to also consider that perhaps using Fantasia to switch race, rather than change to an entirely different character concept, stifled some interest from RP partners, because it makes it difficult to reconcile the fact that your character suddenly is another race, and it sounds like it's happened before. In comparison, while it might not be what you're personally going for story-wise, it seems like a lot of people have an easier time with just interacting with a totally fresh character that was Lalafell from the start.Â
That being said, people will try to downplay it, but I do agree with you and I've experienced it. The only real solution is to be very assertive in finding RP partners that you can work with.
It took a little time to decide on it actually; I made sure that no one really KNEW her and that there were no other factours before I did so.
