The way I'm thinking about it is that the baby is discovered washed up, miraculously surviving some tragedy out at sea. Â The Miqo'te that finds them is a fisher as she cannot reliably hunt anymore because of injuries sustained in the Calamity. Â This disaster also robbed her of being able to have a child of her own. Â
I imagine the matriarch would refuse at first, but unable to deny this sister a chance to raise her own. Â What's more important than family to a Keeper? Â The other questions asked above are really good and I'll think about them. Â One aspect I would give the character was a consistent feeling of not belonging. Â Not because anyone said or did anything, but just because it's impossible to not know you're different. Â As I said, I was adopted and never felt like I was truly part of the family. Â So that's the character's motivation for leaving the family to find themselves, which is also what I did at 17.
Some of these questions might only apply to a male character. Â I haven't decided what gender they would have. Â Being a male might complicate things as there are different expectations for a male. Â Staying at home might not be an option. Â If the character were female, it's entirely possible that they could stay in that family their whole lives. It's seems to be implied that the only way a Keeper female is separated from their family is through tragedy. Â That may be why there are so few Keeper NPCs, they just never leave home on a long-term basis.
Lots to think about.
