Are Nashu Mhakaracca and Masha(little ladies event) Mhakaracca sisters?(spoilers?)

The first thing that led me to this is that they both share the same last name of "Mhakracca". However, that's not enough information since it's a common Keeper of the Moon last name. Fortunately, since my server unlocked the "tell me more about your family" selection in Masha's dialogue, I was able to dig deeper.

So basically, shes the third child of five who came from The Black Shroud. She also mentions she has an older sister who moved to Ul'dah and then mentions this:

She also talks about a sister if you choose her for leader, atleast if you do the 20 ticket version. With a line that would certainly come from Nashu.

I don't remember what it said exactly off the top of my head, just that I had done Hildy quests the day before, and then when I voted for her it had me thinking "Wait, that last name looks familiar now."

This was my first guess when I noticed the two had the same last name.

Well, I'm of the mind they're related, at least. Sisters? Dunno.

Keeper families are big, but there's probably a direct relation.

This. While big and sprawly, I do get the feeling these two are directly related.

Here's the scene if you vote for her.

It's all but confirmed that they are sisters really. The shady business her sister does is inspecting with Hildibrand.

Pretty sure they are actually sisters

"Cor! This is amazing!"

Definitely sisters.

I was surprised to hear that she came from such a big family. Aren't miqo'te a not very fecund people (or am I just thinking of the relative rarity of the menfolk)? In any event raising kids without the presence of a father sounds rough. Her poor mother, having to cope with 5 children while the kids' fathers (I'm assuming fathers plural given the nature of Keeper families) are off continuing to sow their wild oats. Keeper men seem to have it made.

Not really, keeper of the moon culture prefers men and women to be separate. If you did the moogle quest, "The past is the story we never tell" it's said that it's "unnatural" for a man to be with only one woman, especially have a Seeker-like Harem.

Its been said many times that Keepers are matriarichal, so the mother had support of the rest of her clan, most likely.

They've never stated that miqo'te are any less fertile than any other race, just that the male birth rate is significantly lower than the female. We don't know much about keeper families (we've only really seen one) but given that sisterhood seems to be an important relationship to them, it is entirely possible that sisters raise their children together to help each other (not to mention older children can look out for younger).
