I would think that it wouldn't be enough that you can't find RP, but there will likely be a few people who don't like the idea because it doesn't mesh with how they want to RP. Hopefully, however, they also won't be the super-vocal sort who will actively complain and/or call you out on it.
Though, there's another angle to this. Who would need to know from the onset? There's nothing keeping Y'myrha from keeping the fact she knows White Magic a secret. No matter how she ended up learning it, it's not something that needs to be stated right out the gate - people could just think she's just really good at Conjury. It's not like they would KNOW unless they've actually seen White Magic used before.
That way, the only people who would know would be folks you've decided you want them to know. To the people who might balk at her being a WHM, she's just a simple dancer and conjurer. For those that don't seem to mind it, she can show that she's more than that.
That's actually a very fair assessment. Attempting to do something like this, while avoiding the stigma that comes with it, is probably an unrealistic goal.
Certainly, no one would immediately know. I mentioned before in my original post, it's the kind of thing I'd only want people to find out about through interactions and development. She would have the wherewithal to keep tight-lipped about it, knowing that what she knows isn't exactly "legal" or openly accepted for a wide variety of reasons.
That said... I think I may go with that idea of yours, if you don't mind me using it. It's probably one of the most unique ones I've heard, and actually expounds upon things I otherwise hadn't yet considered. I know it's based largely on the 60 - 70 WHM quests, but it's an idea I feel I could run with, and probably give some more traction to her knowing white magic to begin with. It wouldn't take too terribly much reworking, but if you're open for discussions, I'd be more than willing to start a PM conversation.
Not to mention I actually need to work on setting up a proper profile for her on the Wiki.

Mighty is the hand that knows when to pick the pen, and when to pick the sword."
