With that said, it seems Keepers of the Moon are more numerous in the Black Shroud/Gridania and maybe La Noscea/Limsa Lominsa. Still, seeing how the city states are friendly to each other, it shouldn't be hard to come with reasons why your Keeper was born in Ul'dah or Thanalan.
I don't see why a Miqo'te couldn't want to be an arcanist. The arcanist guild-master is a Miqo'te (I think Sun-Seeker, but he appears exactly once), and the "second in command" is a Roegadyn. There's no lore forbidding races from being certain classes. So go wild with that!
I cannot offer much help with the topic due to having limited Miqo'te knowledge, but I shall support Ildur with two words: Lalafell. Pugilists.
