She is not "true to the setting/time period." Despite one of Ala Mhigo's greatest heroines in lore being... Miqo'te.
This is what grates on my nerves as well. If there was zero precedent in the game for it, I'd understand why it would be hard to swallow - but there are examples of pretty much every race also being Ala Mhigan even if they were a much smaller portion of the city's population.
Even if we were to consider that maybe SE just said 'eh, whatevs' and tossed in a few random minor 'lore-breaking' NPCs in some of the cutscenes just to add more diversity - there's the fact that a large chunk of the gladiator quest-chain was devoted to J'moldva in 1.0. It's a lot less likely that they'd have made an NPC so central to that quest-chain a figure that directly contradicts their own lore.
And then put her in the 2.0 version of the game.
And then name an Ala Mhigan fighting fish after her.
That's essentially SE confirming twice that "Yeah, there's a miqo'te Ala Mhigan champion." The fact that no NPC in either 1.0 or 2.0 ever made a huge deal about the fact that she was both miqo'te and Ala Mhigan suggests it wasn't really all that surprising for her to be both either.
