    I don't think she's the Leve-keeper; she's the lass who stands next to the world-weary, incognito Elezen and wants you to bring her one thing, anything, from Ul'dah because she's starry-eyed for far-away places. I will have to go back to Camp Tranquil now!

    There was a lot of controversy about F'lhaminn even in 1.0. She not only has round eyes, but also fangs, light skin, light fur, and a long tail...which are all Moonkeeper traits. It's only her name that says otherwise, which is why there have been debates on it. I highly doubt there would be such an oversight for a main character in FFXIV, which lead me to believe that F'lhaminn had one of each kind of parent, or at least a mix of each clan somewhere in the family line. Not sure if the devs ever cleared this issue up.

    However, if this is true, then that would explain the lesser NPCs with mismatched names (since the lore of cross-breeding is a huge gray area, it may be canon that actual mixed races doesn't occur naturally and that all children are born as one race/clan or the other regardless of parents. This would mean the only way to distinguish them is by the name-race mismatch).

    Indeed, I'll have to go back and check this out myself now.

    Found her. "Detoh Moshroca". She stands next to Lanzenel on the main Tranquil platform. Wood Wailer, with a bone lance. She wears a mask so her eyes can't be made out but there's her name, and she has visible fangs when she's talking to you.

    Also I got one of the quests last night where P'ebaloh, in Costa, mentions in passing, she was once a member of the Company of Heroes. Now it seems I'm finding strong and independent Miqo'te females in the story whenever I open a new door!

    Here's a pic I grabbed


    Like F'lhaminn, the name doesn't match the clan. Again, as Skies said before, it's probably just leftover continuity issues from the 1.0. I still think it would be more fun to use this convention for inter-clan children (since some of the naming rules for each race would make mixed names tricky). Naming a child with the opposite convention his/her physical appearance justifies makes things easier in the long run to pick out mixed relationships.
