So words like “Don’t” he instead says “Do not”, not because he’s snobbish or anything it’s just how he speaks

He definitely was taught to speak formally though when he was training to become a crown bearer, it just stuck and became his default way of speaking

If you remember some time earlier (it is still "earlier" for me) I found my old post with a Kindness soul design concept and thought that they could be the Underswap human.

Well, here they actually are, with the sprite a little reworked (design barely changed). I am working on the other sprites on the way too but they're all even more work in progress than this so I can't show them now.

Back to the human. Their working name is Jam (which I literally just thought of). I might actually keep it because it sounds funny. Although in tags I will still refer to them as "kindness" because this will be too many names to keep the track of.

They are supposed to be French-themed (baguette, croissant, eating frogs legs, that kind of stereotypical stuff)

They do have a beret as an armor item but it is not on them because all weapons/armors are in the overworld and not with humans.

Like, as an Eorzean Hyur you probably know auri people exist, and even if you've maybe not seen a lot or them because they're not really native to Eorzea you've probably interacted with travelers and refugees, so the idea of Au Ra as a race is not exactly weird. But at the same time... you never really touched one. Like, you don't just walk up to people (even those that you know well) and go "hey can I touch your skin?"

And auri skin is quite peculiar. Some scales on the body look very soft, like on the cheeks, neck or calves, while others appear a little more chitinous, like on the hips or forearm, but still not exactly rigid. What do they feel like to the touch? Do they bend? Are they warm or cold? Unless you happen to lie in bed with an auri lover you just keep your questions (and your hands) to yourself.

At the same time I'd imagine an Au Ra would be curious to touch Hyuran ears, of all things. Like, we give ears for granted but I'd imagine they'd be bewildering to a race that listens through their hollow horns. Ears have such a weird shape and structure, and they're unlike anything else on the body. They look rigid and wrinkly but they bend a lot, and they're really sensitive for some reason? They're surprisingly warm, they get red when you blush, and you can poke a finger right inside them? Seems very dangerous and inconvenient.

Not to mention body hair. This isn't really stated anywhere in canon to my knowledge, but I tend to imagine Au Ra don't really have body hair beside their head and eyebrows, as scales seem to manifest in a somehow similar pattern. I can easily picture an Au Ra closely examine a Hyuran arm, taking note of the body hair that's a little too thin or too sparse to be called fur or in some cases to be noticed at all from afar.

but it drives me up the wall that an elven Rook, implied to be Dalish, calls the Evanuris 'gods' instead of 'Creators'.

While Iskra doesn't have any family left back in where she grew up, she still keeps in touch with a childhood friend (a miqote girl) from a neighboring farm. While Iskra doesn't like going back there she sends care packages and stuff to her. After the Ala Mhigo mission, Iskra learns her friend married an up and coming officer in the XIIth legion. (Iskra initially signed on with the XIIth before being transferred to the XIVth)

Unfortunately, the marriage starts to go down hill and Iskra learns some troubling things about their relationship. So Iskra makes an unofficial trip back to the place she never wanted to step foot in again to put the fear of God into this so-called husband of her friend.

Long story short (and i don't want to get too far into content warning territory), things escalate, the husband "disappears" and she packs up her friend and sends her to Eorzea where she's within reach but not likely to be retaliated against by any Garleans that might have an axe to grind.

Friend settles in Limsa and not long after gives birth to a half Garlean daughter. Said daughter ends up eventually working in Costa del Sol at a certain new fad café where she eventually befriends a certain rough talking girl who happens to like the color orange a lot. (Yes, this ends up being the girl Kab lost her virginity to the night before she left Costa to go to Ul'dah and start her hunt for the monk that killed her grandfather)
