Faye is half Garlean, born to a pure-blooded Garlean father and an Eorzean mother. I believe the game specifies that only "pure-blooded" Garleans possess the third-eye, insinuating that not only are there mixed blooded Garleans, but that they do not possess the third-eye. As for using aether, I use Faye's heritage as a reason for why she struggles to control her aether and has some difficulty with conjury. I consider her able to cast thanks to her Eorzean heritage, but also a bit lacking thanks to her Garlean heritage.
