Funny coincidence, I am also about to embark on a journey with my first blind character. My suggestion for a character who has been blind all their life, would be to make them self sufficient while still giving them realistic limits. For example navigating the forest with echolocation or the aid of a guide animal would be really cool, but shooting a bow by ear would realistically be very difficult........ deer don't sound all that different from a merchant riding by on a chocobo for example.
If it were me, I would probably place the emphasis on trapping and fishing for her work, possibly using a bow to finish off prey at close range? It might also be cool to level lancer on her, since the lance could play double duty as a cane and close range weapon.
Since my character has lost her sight due to illness, she will probably be quite helpless for the first few months. However one thing that I really enjoy is showing the journey of a character who has their life derailed and needs to begin from scratch. I plan to have her slowly improve and learn new skills, until she's fully independent again.
(Also leveling conjurer gives you access to some really cool canes)
