So it's really a bit different from actual people who live in Doma to avoid any lore conflicts. It's just a hint that her clans do have ninjas and samurais (swordsman to current term).
I'm sure you can see why such an original character bristles with people trying to tell stories within the lore, then. Making up classes and home towns and cultures doesn't break the lore, not exactly, but if I make a character dual-wielding machine guns who comes from Eagleland and handwave it away as "Oh, it's far, you've probably never heard of it" it's going to raise some eyebrows.
Actually, it'll lead to people just ignoring me and refusing to RP.

Some of the regions were still hidden and unexplained.
So this will also be another washed up part where we may not know until further expansions.
XI didn't force job identity down your throat with the AF quests.
