Chiara is a goldsmith, but mainly specialized in clockwork (so mammets, and other minions); I guess that makes her a toy-maker by definition!
Prior to moving to Limsa Lominsa to join the Maelstrom, Valeria lived in a village of monster hunters; would that count as a "creative" profession?
Clive is probably the most "creative" I have. He is a brawler-for-hire. He is paid to fake fights with his customers and purposefully lose against them to make them show off in front of the crowd. He is actually an excellent fighter, but he prefers to hurt his pride and do this rather than starve and live out of the Ul'dahn walls with the other refugees. Ul'dah is full of people wishing to show off their (low) fighting skills, and a lot of incompetent gladiators have been granted admission to the Coliseum thanks to him! XD

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
