I've actually been tempted to do that with my own character a few times, even though his back story fits in with the world's lore. In the end, the choice is yours!

We have some defensive sorts here. Don't let it bug you.
I can't begin to explain that. I know I get my dander up when people insult Batman. We've all got our triggers.
If you're intent on using the backstory as something that doesn't come up often, you might want to restructure your wiki a little? Maybe spoiler the first bit so it doesn't immediately turn anyone off, then embellish a little more on your history in Eorzea. She appeared in Western Thanalan? Did she stumble out of the desert knowing nothing of the world? What was her reaction to reaching Ul'dah? That sort of stuff, it'll make her a little more accessible for folks trying to invest themselves in you.
If she showed up to a public place and started asking about the history of the city, you'd find plenty of folks willing to show her around.
Welcome! I'm sure you'll work out whatever kinks you need sorted out in good time for us to catch you around sometime. The game is fun, the RP is -- good lord, it's fantastic.Â
I'm sure some of the more...short responders in the thread mean well, but with everything laid out before you, the choice is still yours in the end.
