My friend also rolled her Miqote in 1.0 and just had her grow up in Ul'dah. She was quick to say that her's family had lived in Ul'dah for generations and, while her great grandparents may have more traditional Keepers, that has since been replaced with a more city lifestyle.
She actually got the idea from me. I'm a 3rd generation American on my dad's side. My grandmothers parents were Basque and my Grandfathers parents were Romanian and both sides immigrated to the states in the late 1910's/early 1920's. My great grandparents aren't that far removed from me really, but I know nothing of either culture and don't even know the language either side spoke. My grandmother says my great grandma could speak 4 languages - French, Spanish, Basque, and English, but she knew only one of them - English.
It's super easy and quick to just do as the Romans do once you are ingrained in it and it totally makes sense to me many miqote moved to the cities and just... learned that culture. My friend has actually been harassed over the decision, that she went the "lazy" route. I have to disagree, I don't think it's lazy at all to go that route and I really don't believe she is playing a Hyur with cat ears. Her character is a Miqote, it wouldn't be right if she played a Hyur, shes just.. a different one.
To me, it makes sense there's a lot of Miqote to immigrated. Why wouldn't there be? People in the real world immigrate all the time.
(As an aside, we should probably make a Miqote thread or revive an old one cuz...)
