    According to his game data, Gosetsu uses Hellsguard with custom face.

    But I wouldn't worry about that at all for your character. Sea Wolves wander the seas after all, and they are really out of place nowhere. It's not like you're writing that she has an entire clan in the Far East, right? It could be as simple as her parents gave up pirating upon reaching Othard or Hingashi, and she was raised Far Eastern. Or she was found orphaned and raised by Far East Hyur or Hellsguard. There's tons of ways to make Far Eastern Sea Wolf work, same way any oddball lineage works. Hell, I've got a friend that's half German, half Japanese. She looks far more Asian than German, and has a Japanese first name with a German surname.

    People move around and fall in love with whoever, and there's always exceptions to the rule with what people look like/talk like/act like against where they are from.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore

    So it's not unreasonable to think that traits presently associated with Sea Wolves could pop up even in decidedly non-Limsan Roes, right..?

    Wait Misija is (technically) a Hellsguard? Between her being pale as hell and not having the nose stripe I could've sworn... But yeah, this does bring to mind the whole "are Ishgardians Wildwood or Duskwight Elezen" debacle lmao

    That's the thing though lol I'm not dead set on her being a Sea Wolf, it's just she's one from a technical POV because they had the skin tone I wanted, in much the same way various NPCs are one or the other and it's never commented on (or even distinguishable without datamining). My (skeleton of a) backstory for her, back when she was a Raen, was simply that she was born and grew up in a remote mountain village
