I think the problem you may be encountering might be related to the "burlesque club" concept, to be honest. Some RPers are going to see that, think "front for ERP," and dismiss the character and the group.
That'll happen whether or not your group actually even has any ERP in it, because concept suggests it and that's enough for some.As for being written off as uninteresting, I think everyone gets that from time to time, albeit usually not to their face.
Not every character is everyone's cup of tea, and I'm sure there are several (many?) people who look at L'yhta and say, "Genki Girl wizard, likes to use exclamation marks, boooor-ing." Undoubtedly, some look at your concept, say "Burlesque club mistress, boooor-ing" and move on, too. It's unfortunate for a character to be judged that way, but that's the way of it.
