I don't recall exactly where I heard that, but that would explain the lack of a tan. Possibly even an inability to due to evolution? Maybe they just sunburn instead, along with their eyes not liking daylight due to those FOREVER SHOCKED pupils. o_oSounsyy Resources, Best Resources xD
The nocturnal among the Miqo'te have dubbed themselves the Keepers of the Moon. Shying from the garish light of day, they revel in the shroud of night, with most offering their piety to Menphina the Lover, goddess of the moon.
They are distinguishable from their diurnal cousins by their darker fur, larger ears, rounder eyes, more pronounced canines, and longer, skinnier tails. The ritual application of war paint to the face is still regularly practiced, as it is believed the vivid colors grant lunar powers.
The Keepers are known for their reticent and brooding personalities, but are also respected and sometimes feared for their tenacity.
So yeah, I'd imagine its just a nocturnal thing type of deal. I don't know how this makes remotely sense with real life logic, but hey, Eorzea!
