For example Neki's skin color is pale, her hair is white, tail is long and fluffy, and her hair is more on the wavy side which Keeper Miqo'te have darker skin tones, dark hair, thin tails and hair is straight and thin.
Mixed Clan and Mixed Race mating, breeding, and offspring are canon per the devs as well as several instances of each appearing throughout the game. That said, the practice is taboo and is often met with ostracism from the couple's or offspring's clan. And many Seekers of the Sun do not take kindly to the offspring of these relationships mixing naming conventions. (But we see it a bit in game with some mixed race Miqo'te npcs.)

There will be some Seekers of the Sun who will respect this, but others who frown upon it.

She isn't a WoL (I know that is a no-no), but she has the Echo and she is great at combat, is that enough for her to be part of their order?
A good many people have an allergic aversion to anything relating to the main storyline because of its specialness. However, having the Echo is not an ultra rare gift. Many, many people began to develop the Echo before the Calamity in the Year 1562. Ten years later, in 1572, another wave of common people began experiencing the Echo, claiming to have witnessed a star shower (the fall of Dalamud). During these ten years, a secret organization founded by Minfilia, called the Path of the Twelve began seeking out and recruiting Echo-users to aid in the goal of finding out what exactly the Echo was and how to use it - as the Echo can manifest in several different gifts.
After surviving the Calamity, Minfilia merged her Path of the Twelve with Sharlayan's Circle of Knowing to form the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. This organization would make use of their gifts to aid the city-states in the wake of the Calamity. However, after the Warrior of Light's victory of Titan, a group of Garlean agents stormed the Waking Sands and slaughtered many (but not all!) of the Scions within. All of the former Circle of Knowing NPCs survived the raid and were taken hostage, so 100% of the casualties were people who had the Echo, many former Path of the Twelve veterans.
But again, the Echo was gifted to many people and not every member of the Path of the Twelve was killed in that Garlean raid, as evidenced by the number of people still walking around in the Waking Sands. So if you want to have the Echo and you want to be a member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, go for it! There's really nothing stopping you because the lore is on your side. Just maybe refrain from saying you've hung out with the Sharlayans and the Warrior of Light and you're all buddy buddy - I think that's where most people have some sort of conniption with it.
Hope this helps! ^^
