This is my Miqo'te from FFXIV. I have been drawing them for over a decade, they weren't originally from FF. They were created as a demon for a Supernatural RP group ages ago and just stuck in my repertoire since.
Originally named Grace, we are moving to Gray. I had been losing my touch with them as a character and after a while, was not sure how to play them anymore. As I am a she/they, I thought I was fine with them as they were. But they are more than an OC, they are an extension of me in a way.
My partner wondered if I was losing interest in them because of their gender and at first, I didn't think that was it. But more I dreaded losing their voice and didn't want to RP them. The more I considered that it may be the case.
With some checking to see how I felt about a Non-Binary version of them, I was excited to see them. Felt more appropriate with how I envision them nowadays.
So now, 10+ years of Grace shift into Gray. I have played with the idea of changing their gender before and had enjoyed lil tidbits of it. So, I guess that should've told me that they needed it.
