Well... not exactly.The linked dev post indicates that she's a Seeker, but that she might have a genetic anomaly resulting in Keeper features, or that she has some Keeper blood.
EDIT: It's true that she could be a full-blooded Keeper taken in by the Seekers, but that's just one possibility from the dev post. Societally, "(w)e know for certain that F'lhaminn was raised as a Seeker of the Sun..."
Likely she is a Keeper of the Moon raised by Seekers. She has absolutely no Seeker traits other than her name.
Three: It could be that SE done goofed and tripped over their own lore. Instead of trying to correct it, they simply brushed it under the rug and created a reason for the anomaly since F'lhaminn is a side character and not a major character we'll likely see ever again. He simply gives us scenarios as to why such an anomaly can exist, but never clearly states as to why. Trying to spell yes out of maybe is redundant. You're still one letter short.
On the matter of half breeds....
1.) Who cares if the game can't depict your character 100%. Many aspects of a character can't be visually represented in-game. We shouldn't limit our character to the confines of the game's technical limitations due to visuals. That isn't to say, "hey, my character has wings!" or "my character is actually an Amal'jaa!" What it means is adhering to the lore, what is accepted in the lore, and what is accepted in the roleplay community. Mixed-race characters are confirmed to exist, and while they may be rare, there are a handful of instances that other players RP their character as that may not be equally as rare, but are rare occurrences none the less. To dismiss the plausibility of one trope is to place a mark on all the other tropes that can't be represented in-game to the fullest extent.
2.) On the matter that other RPers won't recognize the fact that the character is a half breed, thus dismissing the social stigma that is associated with it, I call to example character height. Character height can only be depicted in-game up to a certain extent, basically what the game limits us to. Say a full Wildwood stands at a staggering 7 fulms and 6ilms. He's considerably taller than normal Elezen standards, but this isn't depicted in-game, only in RP. Being different, in any way, can be a social stigma. With the case of height, others might make light of him, shun him, or even fear him. Don't think so? Look at the handful of books and movies that have this social stigma as a backdrop to the character. Back to the case of half-breeds. If one player wants the other player to react accordingly, both parties should be well informed about the visual nature of the characters. If my character is a half breed and I tell the person I'm rping with and they don't knowledge that fact, that's the choice of the other character/player. Maybe it's a non issue to them. Keep in mind that while there is racism, sexism, and other social stigmas in the world of XIV, there is also a level of tolerance.Â
3.) Here is a list of things that are considered rare occurrences or things that happen in the RP community that shouldn't have as much abundance as they do, yet they are accepted none the less.
- Male Miqo'te
- Garlean Turncloaks
- Ala Mhigan Refugees
- White Mages
- Dragoons
- Black Mages
- People with knowledge of Magitek technologyÂ
