I'm leaning towards a non-combat-centric character, with a dominant/matriarchal personality, possibly focusing on an occupation like alchemy. (Possibly lab-rat/guinea-pig RP, because I'm a jerk.) Very open to suggestion, but I also am just dipping my toe in and might go a completely different direction. I'm not very familiar with FF14 lore (or FF in general. I know, I'm a bad nerd. plz give wrist slap.) so backstory will be a challenge to work out.
Just to help in this process... if you want a matriarchal character, that sounds very much like you want to play a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te. They have a matriarchal society so you'd be all set there. Then, the alchemy stuff can be covered by... well... alchemist. As a fellow "crafting"-centric character (Armorsmith specifically), it's very possible to run a character who isn't completely combat-oriented. And I've done some RP before with an NPC who messed around with potions (well, he called them "konkoctions" - clicking his tongue on each of those k's) and whatnot to various effects who was decently well received.
... And even if she does get in a fight, you could probably go the old FFT chemist route and hock potions at things (or if you really want to get meta with the FFT-chemist angle, level MCH for the gun).
So you're pretty good to go on that angle, and if you have any other ideas or questions regarding lore and whatnot, there's plenty of folks here who can cover that for you.
