My view on Miqo'te is this. They are a race of humanoid cats. They evolved similarly to humans who started out as apes. Over time they stood upright, lost most of the fur, except the hair on the heads, and their tails and ears.
Their bodies are decidedly a lot more athletic than your typical Hyur and other races. They live in a tribal culture, but I do believe they would still retain their racial demeanor of being cat-like. You see it even in their emotes. When my miqo'te gets furious, her tail stands up and fuzzes out, ears flatten and she looks like an angry cat that happened to have a human-like features.
So I tend to play my character very feline-like. Be it climbing, playing, or whatever. She's a wild spirit that is adventurous. She even has been known to stalk little animals like butterflies and such. If I wanted to RP a human, I'd have a Hyur. In fact I do have a couple Hyur characters. Instead I rolled a Miqo'te who is a cat who happens to have human-like features.
So there are people who prefer playing humans with tails. And then there's those like myself who play cats with human features. Neither side should be telling the other they play the race right or wrong. It's up to the individual's own interpretations. Square has given us some pretty good in game examples of miqo'te as well. From the U tribe's growling, the keeper's "meow" instead of "now", scenes were miqo'te do leaping jumps.
I definitely do believe miqo'te embrace their feline aspects. And why shouldn't they? Miqo'te are graceful, agile, and are outstanding hunters. So I end my post with... meow!Â
