Well, I mean, obviously MSQ can't be canon for everyone, I get that; so none of the MSQ stuff happens-happens, but the way I've been playing Miiyn (except for a few circumstances here and there in dungeons) is by reacting to every situation as Miiyn, whether it's people RPing or not (which has been really fun by the way, especially trying to explain dungeon mechanics with marks and emotes 
). Â Also serves as a really good reminder of just how frustrating it would be for her to express what's going on in her head without using words. Â I also made Miiyn start in Ul'dah specifically because I wanted her to develop a blanket distrust of Lalafell (everybody needs a flaw!) as a whole right off the bat, and the MSQ, while obvs not canon, was helpful in building up the types of things that she'd see going on in Ul'dah to help get into that mindset.
Since I tend to be pretty (read: extremely) slow with story progression, I'd like to at least, y'know, have some sort of reason as to why she's trudging about Limsa since I can't just skip over to Gridania, Mor Dhona, Coerthas or Ul'Dah right away like I could if I started in the other zones (well, unless an Ul'Dah or Gridania-based FC doesn't mind me joining just to get to the big Aetheryte in one of those areas
). Â Because technically speaking, she should right now be able to just ferry/swim over to the mainland. Â But she isn't doing that, and...well, I'd like to come up with a reason why. Â Plus, she's going to have to have a reason to start studying along the Arcanist path eventually if she goes into Scholar (which, let's face it...that's my main class, she will). Â
Actually nevermind, solved that conundrum while typing! Â That family heirloom stone was lost/taken, and she's looking for it--legally via the arcanists, less legally via the rogues.
If anyone has any insights to 1-3, 5 and 7, I'd appreciate it!
Edit: Did some more digging and finally found the mention I thought I recalled of female sahagin...However, no mention of a naming convention beyond the "Indigo Matriarch."
