Fortunately/unfortunately, depending on your view, there isn't a whole lot of the very solid/specific lore on any of the races. Most of what we're given is some broad brush strokes of lore then things can be taken from context in the game world itself.
As for a 'ranger' sort of character, given the makeup of Gridania (if you'd like to be from there) it would fit well with either a Miqo'te or an Elezen! Elezen are a little more rare to see ingame (by and large) but there are plenty of Miqo'te roleplayers who are in monogamous relationships so I wouldn't let that stop you either. Not all Miqo'te are tribal, which is what a lot of the lore focuses on. Many of them (meaning most roleplayers/adventuring sorts) can be found within cities having adapted to that life as well.
So yeah! Welcome but don't feel boxed in by what you've read. There are lots (and I mean a LOT) of spins to put on what we're given without falling into 'special snowflake' territory. Go with what's fun and calls to you.
