Maybe it doesn't work in the sense that "not everyone will know about it" but it does work in the sense that you do not mind that interpretation, (I presume!) and should it come up importantly I could easily correct it, and should it come up in conversation Aya would just presume it was an unimportant mistake
For me it is sticking a dog label onto a cat and then getting upset people see it as a cat and not a dog. Thankfully you don't seem to do that though, what I have to give you kudos for.
Anyhow, opinions differ after all, and well, at the end of the day, everyone's going to use whatever model, race, lore or whatever suits them best even if some might not agree with it. Some people will roll with it, others won't. As long people aren't mean about it OOC? Eh, who cares.
But I do feel, especially with the hyur clans, if you do the swap and try to represent the other clan, you should except some people will throw comments at your character or muck up their clan. Because well, a highlander doesn't look like a midlander and visa versa!
