So this might be bold of me, but that's just the nature of who I am: I have always hated how most of society doesn't take lalafellin folk seriously solely because of their size. You're just as valid as the rest of us. Have you ever dealt with prejudice because of your petite stature? Are you capable of shrugging it off? Is there something particular you do to impress upon people that they should take you seriously? And on a lighter note, how do you keep your hair so beautifully vibrant?
βIβve certainly been tossed more than a few particularly hurtful comments regarding my race and size, among many other comments.. That I simply am not strong enough, not nearly as experienced in my field as others.. My stature is but one of the many things that Iβve been talked down for.Β
I canβt say that it hadnβt bothered me before.. I could train myself to be stronger, take on more odd jobs to earn the trust and fondness of others around me.. My blood however is not something I can ever change. I wished dearly to be taller, stronger, bulkier.. If not to earn the respect of others, then to defend myself from those would presume me to be the weakest link among my peers.Β
Ah- but.. such comments were more common in the past. Given my reputation now, I believe most of the foes I run into recently have learned to not let their guard down despite my stature. Plus, folks who are prejudiced against particular races are few and far between in Eorzea.. which I am truly grateful for! Weβre not so different at all, behind our statures and physical uniqueness.βΒ

βO-Oh! Umβ¦ Daily showers.. unless itβs impossible to. And umβ¦picking the right soap for your hair is important! I-I heard that pale hair like my own requires more delicate soaps. T-truthfully.. I donβt do very much in the way of self care, but I do brush my hair and wash it often.βΒ
