As stated by others even without the confirmation there are definitely ways to learn White Magic outside of being a Padjal. Breaking into the Amdapori ruins and finding one there is an option, it should also be noted that survivors from Amdapor settled in both Gyr Abania and Sharlayan both. There is of course always the possibility that any soul stones and knowledge that they brought with them were passed down, especially in Sharlayan. That said in addition to keeping in mind that White Magic is forbidden to anyone who is not a part of the Padjali inner circle, you should keep in mind that practicing White Magic of any form in the Shroud is most likely extremely dangerous as well. So keep that in mind with your back story. It is after all the domain of the very beings that sought to wipe both Black and White magic out of existence with a flood, there is no doubt that they wouldn't take action against anyone that isn't a Padjal or the WoL using White Magic within the Shroud.
Oh yes, I do know that if she were to be a practitioner in the Shroud itself, it would probably be even more dangerous than practicing it elsewhere. She was probably a practitioner in other areas, most likely La Noscea or Thanalan, if possible, since the cooler climates of Gridania wouldn't make for many happy Seekers anyway.

It can also make for interesting interactions when running into characters of the Y tribe that are from other places in Eorzea. I personally rp with one whose portion of the tribe is from Thanalan and could see some interesting discussions and rp come from the differences between the two.
Absolutely! I think it could be a ton of fun as well, so if you'd ever like to set up potential interactions for the future, please feel free to ask me! I wouldn't at all mind getting some potential contacts set up for Y'myrha to have in the future.

IMO so long as you have a thoughtful explanation played out for why, and it brings more to your character other than being a check mark, then you shouldn't have much to worry about.
Thank you for the kind words. At this point I'm relatively sold on the idea, come what may from people I interact with. It's something I've put a lot of time and thought into, so I'm hard pressed to back out of it now.
