Welcome! 
It's a good start, though it's a name and background story far, far more fitting for a hyur (or perhaps elezen) than a miqo'te. Miqo'te (at least the typical ones, in the game's setting - of course we roleplayers will sometimes go outside the box) have some defined particulars about their cultural norms and even the meaning/structure behind their names. It might be a good idea to read up on miqo'te a little further before you decide if you want to play one - and, as I mentioned, it's totally okay to deviate from the norm if you want to, but you should be sure you at least know what that norm is (your character will probably have encountered a lot of people who were puzzled that she was unusual, for example).
We're just about to learn more about what Doma is like, so if you go with that as one half of her origin, keep that a little "nebulous" for now... that is to say, don't define a lot of specifics just yet, because you run the risk that what you state will end up (in three weeks' time) shown as false in the game's lore. A whole lot of Doman-originated characters are facing that possibility right now, I'm sure people are a little nervous!
As for the Ishgard side, I didn't see many denizens in Ishgard (in the game, looking at NPCs and the like) who weren't a hyur or an elezen. Others might be able to offer better input into this than I can, but, I think (and may be mistaken) that it's very rare for other races to have been there at all until very recently? Anyone have some insight on that?
The last thing of note is that, sadly, there are some jobs (but no classes) which the lore holds strictly away from use in RP. Black Mages, for example, are "allowed", except that the use of black magic is illegal in every civilized place, and punishable by a short drop and a sudden stop (that is to say, execution). Dragoons are, alas, one such job - the lore explicitly states a specific number of them to exist, nearly all of whom are accounted for. That doesn't mean she couldn't be a lancer who, having heard the tales of Dragoons, daydreams about one day having the opportunity to become one... but as far as we're aware (at least, to my knowledge) the Dragoons aren't recruiting. Not yet, anyway. Though again, I might be wrong on that last bit - I try to keep up on the lore, but there's a lot of it and it's ever-shifting as new content comes out and reveals more of the world to us.
I hope this feedback hasn't discouraged you! If you find yourself stumped for how to adapt your original concept, don't be shy about asking - I or someone else will surely help!
