One of my characters is a well off elezen, raised in a more noble way (mother Ishgardian, father hardworking Gridania that built his wealth) . However, she kind of rebelled against what her father wanted. For some context, her mother was a black sheep in her family, sent off to marry my characters father. Her father, wants to be in that more noble world and worked toward it. Even arranging marriages for his two daughters.
Anyways, the one thing I have Ritsu do (which isn't that noticeable) She /never, never/ calls anyone Sir, Miss, Lady ect. Even if introduced as such. But that is my little bit of rich girl snob for her.
That's generally the direction I had in mind. I figure Aloyv (characters name btw I may as well mention) was more influenced by his mother since she was supportive of her son despite strange circumstances, so I figure she doesn't give much consideration to petty noble drama.
That said, I just feel a lot of his influence and conviction are related to the political issues facing Ul'dah: the problem of wealth distribution, the general apathy of refugees, and I figure he tries to play the game of being able to talk the talk but with a more altruistic motive than his peers.
I figure more so as an adult, he's humble enough to take criticism and frustration of the less fortunate head on rather than be defensive, particularly after some personal life experience things that happened in his youth.
