My characters name comes from her original FFXIV 1.0 name (with he secret addition of a middle name :3): Aluendalee (Maria) Kor, which I then shortened to Aluena Marie, add a little Miqo'te flare and bam: Aluena Mahri

but to note my characters name would be a good Seeker of the Sun name as well: A'luena Mahri <-- done :3
The thing with miqo'te irises actually makes me think: This is obviously a stylistic thing, but if they work at all like normal eyes (normal cat's eyes, for that matter) they'll always dilate widely like that in the dark, and always narrow to slits in the light.

Having eyes set like that permanently would make it really painful for mooncats to wander into sunlight, and suncats would be completely unable to see in the dark. So, I figure, it can be assumed that both tribes' eyes dilate that way, but showing them in different states is a nice little bit of visual flair to show their respectively nocturnal and diurnal natures.
