There are some good suggestions here so far.

From my perspective, it seems like you're at a point with your character where she's symbolically shed all of her past, and has now become "reborn." In this rebirth, the character is more of a blank slate, with an endless stretch of possibilities ahead of her in starting her new life. This can be a very intimidating position to be in!

You could try poking around some linkshells and/or FCs, for sure. There are many of both who seem to offer actual plots and storylines that your character could fling themselves into, now that she's carving a new path for herself in the world. Will she use her Dotharl combat ability to assist new Eorzean allies in their own fight? Would she get involved in the Ala Mhigo Resistance movement, to that end? Or maybe she wishes to retire to a more peaceful life, with more mundane and domestic goals? In line with that, perhaps she could seek work in one of the many restaurants or taverns floating about? Or maybe she still seeks adventure, but not the sort that would ever harm others - and join ranks with a group of hunters or other professional adventurers? She could even find faith and join the new religious guild that's cropped up, as a representative of the Dusk Mother (forgive me for not remembering the name of the guild, but it should be in the directory! All of the RP hooks I mentioned have guilds that offer them in the RPC FC/Linkshell listing.)

If it feels like you're just beating a dead horse or trying to breathe life into a character who has run their course, there's no shame in going the alt route and trying something totally different. In the end, it's a personal choice, and I wish you the best of luck!
