I'm just spinning hypothetical situations. Until they reveal what's on the table, everything is potentially on the table.
Is it possible that someone was secreted away by a secret Padjal traininer, who entrusted a new student with Succor before passing away? Sure, why not.
Would anyone -even in Gridania- ever believe such a thing? There's strong in-game belief that Padjal = White Mage. Go ahead, run around IRL and tell people that you're actually the lost cousin of <name a famous person>. See how many believe you.
This sort of goes back to what we were discussing in the original post: If someone presents an incredulous story in-character, and people react with disbelief in-character, it is incorrect to assume you're being bullied OOCly. As a stereotype, White Mages exist in the Shroud. They're all Padjal. They've got scary powers. The trees will eat you. These are the things the common people would know. Presenting to the contrary would be as effective as it is in real life, which is to say it isn't effective.
Honestly, I'd expect similar responses for people claiming to be Dragoons outside of Ishgard, or people playing Sultansworn outside of Ul'dah. All of these would likely be met with "What are you doing here? Don't you have a job?"
