As far as her goals go, though... What you've got is a fair history. You don't really have any explicit motivations for her, though the fact that she's left her tribe to go study suggests that she has some strong ones. I'd ask myself some questions about her, they might help you to find some goals:
- She left her tribe. How does she feel about that?
- Who is she close to, now that she's living in Ul'dah?
- How does she feel about men, in light of her revelations of her father?
- How much is she willing to put herself out in order to gain new knowledge?
- What does she do when she's not studying?
Thank you so much. I was really looking for some questions like these because I hadn't even thought about these things. Let me try to fathom some answers.

I don't recall them being anywhere else, but that doesn't mean they can't be found in other zones. Just something to keep in mind when deciding where the tribe was/is located.
Another thing you might want to flesh out a bit is how the tribal society worked. No need to be extremely specific, but things like how leadership was formed, usual diet, religious rituals, if they were nomadic. You know, things that can come out in conversation with your character some day and that could give you insight as to how she was raised.
As for information on aether, I can provide you this wiki link and this other one. The last post there is actually quite nice.
Firstly, thank you for the links! That's what I was mainly looking for.
As for fleshing out her tribe, how much freedom do I have with that? It is a canon tribe, so I don't want to go too crazy in case I face inconsistencies with other people. Do Seeker tribes always stay in one huge group or can a single tribe be broken up around several areas?
For example, as an answer, could I safely decide that they have their nunh, but no set leadership? Based on reading lore on Seekers, they don't always have nunh meaning leadership. You may bring up a point that deciding on them being nomadic is sensible, especially in a desert region, being constantly on the move for food. Perhaps they were oriented on hunting and more ate meat than plants.
I'm happy to take suggestions. I'm terrible at thinking of these sort of fine details, which are ones I really need.
You're all being incredibly helpful and thought-provoking, and I really appreciate it!
