That is SE telling the people that portray her and other characters (or that direct the person doing the portrayal) exactly what she is. A WHM, just like Thancred is a THF, Yda is a MNK, etc. Anyway.

She uses Holy before ever entering the Lifestream, her shieldy thing is a WHM ability now, and lastly the production notes given to the VAs list her as a WHM specifically.
Actually, she uses...
Also, when you first meet her, if you started in Limsa, she's called "Cultured Conjurer" before she's given a name. And her shield is an AST ability, not a WHM one. If anything, being Sharlayan and all, she'd be more likely to be an AST than a WHM. But she is neither. Just a really good Conjurer.
To steer back to that, it can be seen that many people have very differing opinions and views on just how prolific WHM is or is not. It will probably be debated endlessly like DRG, right up until SE tosses a bunch of them in our faces in a CSes and quests.
Rarity is not an issue here, and I cannot stress enough that you should just do you. Do as you want. Rock on with your bad self. Be an Avatar possessing half vampire were-burito if that is your thing. Make interesting story and rp. No one here holds the entire ultimania of FFXIV, or even knows for absolute certain what the heck is or isn't in it. The worse that will happen is you'll be wrong about the "nefarious" method's details, should you go that route. Lots of people have had good advice about character work, which is good stuff. You should also remember one of the best rules of good RP. "An Assassin does not run around a crowded tavern telling everyone that they are an Assassin." So, you do have you character become a WHM by whatever method, who is your character going to trust enough to tell?Â
