Admittedly I didn't choose miqo solely for the lore. I chose mithra in XI because I've always loved little kitties, anything to do with cats and kittens, so being a cat-person seemed fitting enough. I chose miqo because by the time I started this game I was just so used to being a cat-person that I kind of defaulted to it. I did choose Keeper based on the lore though, because it just seems to fit my personality better than Seekers do.
