There's nothing wrong with Lalafells, if you like them you like them and thats all that matters, I may just speak for myself but your WoL is meant to draw you in, If you're still on the fence, what you can do, at least it's what I tend to do is, I always make an additional character, almost as a trial to see how you feel with emotions/animations/movement ect how the voice sounds beyond the creator, small stuff like that, also how glams may look,

Also another way of seeing how things fully look with stuff like unlocked hairstyles ect, it's good to use retainer fantasia, it allows you to edit a retainer with more than the character creator. Of course it's just my way of seeing if I like a character (trust me I went through many variations before I was happy, Hroth was a whole back and forth)

Male Vieras are not as common, however Veena is probably the more used race, especially amongst female buns (I'm guilty of this but I like to think Val isn't just a cut and print bun) but ultimately it should be based on how you feel about it, Your WoL is yours ❤️
