I may have a character or two who could offer you another connection if you're still looking. Their bios are still pretty incomplete as I fill them in slowly over time, but with what is currently there, you may be able to see some parallels to take advantage of.
My elezen Raramia could be a standard acquaintance at the very least, as she took up residence in Gridania a few years before the Calamity and married an archer of the Twin Adder, and helped in tending to the wounded of that battle. Her history as a scholar's apprentice from Sharlayan and early studies of aether may also give them a measure of affinity?
Rui is my Midlander who has a curious background, and I've been considering how to fully detail her particular..."condition" and how it may inevitably relate to aether as well, so perhaps the both of us could come up with something on that front that would give your character something to study and would allow me to develop her personal story a little further, since many things are kind of up in the air right now.
And lastly, I recently made a lalafell THM, Maere who bears a similar backstory after reading yours. Nothing nearly as elaborate and unique, but she was, for lack of a better word, "void-touched" in the recent past during an encounter with a masked man who summoned a creature from the Void. In an effort to protect her twin sister, she exposed herself to an attack and the incident altered her in ways I am still working out. She was born a natural healer and had great potential for conjury, but that event left her less "pure" than before and she even bears a strange mark upon her face from her affliction. Because of the change this caused that seemed to strip the "light" right out of her, she was cast out of the Conjurer's Guild and became outcast. No longer being accepted in Gridania, she left and eventually found herself in Ul'dah to "embrace darkness" in the Thaumaturges Guild. Which isn't to say she is evil, she simply doesn't know where else to go. Still working on many many details, and she is freshly made as well so...
In any case, if any of these strike your fancy, go ahead and drop me a PM. >^.^<
