F'lhaminn

[Yrusama]

Without a doubt F'lhaminn character model is a Keeper...

So imho, this really opens the door to her history. I don't want to assume SE just "made a mistake" on one of the main characters, sooo what's with her name then? Was she orphaned? If she was who named her, who adopted her?
Is she a mixed breed of the two clans? Maybe we'll get answers in 2.0 ^_^

Or maybe they'll just remake her character with Seeker of the Sun features. ._.

Hello guys!

The same topic was brought up in the JP forums, so the loremasters decided to make an official response.
Here is a rough translation of what it says:

------

As is indicated by the name, F'lhaminn is a member of the F (bear) Seeker of the Sun tribe. However, as many of you have pointed out, she has many physical features which are attributed to Keepers of the Moon (such as iris shape, skin color, etc). As many of you have also noticed, there have been other characters which have displayed the features of one clan, while following the naming conventions of another. This can be attributed to two factors.

One: It could merely be a genetic anomaly. Just because certain races have a tendency to display certain features (pointed ears, long legs, darker or lighter skin, soul-piercing eyes), doesn't mean that once every thousand or ten thousand births, something deviates from the rules.

Two: It could be that a parent or grandparent was of a different clan, and the features of that clan were passed down. We know for certain that F'lhaminn was raised as a Seeker of the Sun, but we would have to look further down her family tree for clues why she has the appearance of a Keeper of the Moon.

Finally, some good news for our role-players who want a little more spice in their character's history--in character creation for ARR, we'll be allowing the mixing and matching of certain features between clans, so it will be possible to create a Keeper of the Moon-like Seeker of the Sun (or vice versa).

In character creation for ARR, we'll be allowing the mixing and matching of certain features between clans, so it will be possible to create a Keeper of the Moon-like Seeker of the Sun (or vice versa)

And thus our CG Miqo'te's physical features are comprehensively retconed! ^_^

Holy snurble slipper!
This probably the best news for character creation!!!

Does it applies to other races as well? Like Lalafell for example? *wink wink*

I'm just so excited right now, woohoo! I need to get me hands on a character creator with these features asap...
