Xaela Backstory Question! - A'mahri - 01-07-2016

So after having RPed as a Miqo for some time, I've decided to make the switch over towards Au Ra - mainly because I kinda enjoy their little nomadic tribal style.

Now, I've been trying to flesh this character's backstory out for a little while now..I've even asked some other people of their input and they were a bit stumped.

So here's the question:
Would it be possible for a Xaela child to live within Doma? As in living and growing up with a Doman family before the whole Garlean drama?

Being my little lizard lady is in the Tumet tribe, I had originally planned that she 'failed' her trial by getting lost while returning to her tribe - eventually resulting in her being taken in and raised to adulthood by a more civilized Doman family before being shipped off to Eorzea.

I just wanted to know if it was possible. I thought it would be...a bit boring to just stick with the tribe the whole time.
I'm also open to other suggestions, as well.
Thank you!

I don't see anything wrong with that. You're using a tribe that COULD have something like that happen, and there's probably some interesting stories to tell of a Xaela kid getting used to life in Doma. And then promptly getting shipped out to Eorzea after the whole razing thing.

I'd say go for it. Thumbsup

It's entirely possible. There are Raen in the Xaela tribes and ones who trade with travelers and non-Au Ra. 

As a Xaela player [albeit Dotharl tribe] I give Thumbsup to this

Thank you guys so much!
I've been a bit worried about the idea - but now I feel a bit more confident about it, lol.

If you want you can even run into Skar, who isn't entirely bad for a Dotharl, and they can chat. I'm sure Xaela friends would be nice
