Merp. Sounsyy is Miqo'te because Sounsyy was Mithra in XI. Honestly no other reason. She could just as easily be played as Hyur with very little retcon. Why? Well, for one, when I created her, Miqo'te lore didn't even exist, and by the time it did, it didn't really make a lot of sense with her story.
I did add in some Seeker Miqo'te drama into the backstory, but (to keep from retconning Sounsyy's personality) most of it she is unfamiliar with or doesn't remember. And I think, for myself, that's enough. Sounsyy is a Seeker raised in Ala Mhigo, then after it was razed Gridania, Ul'dah, and Limsa. She's never interacted with a Tribe. It's not a part of her lifestyle. So naturally, she doesn't behave like a Tribal Miqo'te. She behaves like her fellow Ala Mhigans.
Is this evidence that I don't know XIV's lore? Hehehe....
No, it simply means that if I were to make Sounsyy behave/adhere to a Seeker background, I might as well scrap her and start over, but I'm not gonna do that cuz attached. I will spoiler what I did to introduce some Seeker culture into her background though:
