MIQO.TE LORE POST........

-Miqo.te are descendants of the M.ithra (a very feline race from FF 11).

-they’re split into two separate ethnicities (seeker of the sun and keeper of the moon

Satoshi is half and half. he has more seeker of the sun in him but he has things of his father’s half too (such as the more pronounced canine teeth and his reverence for Menphin.a

Sun Seekers worship Azeyma the Warden and Moon Keepers worship Menphina the Lover

Satoshi worships Menphina

Due to their exposure to light, the pupils of a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te are vertically aligned slits with irises faintly colored. It is common for their eyes to be disparately colored from birth, a trait considered auspicious among their kind.

In contrast, due to their exposure to darkness, the pupils of a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te are large and round with little iris exposure. They are distinguishable from their diurnal cousins by their darker fur, larger ears, rounder eyes, more pronounced canines, and longer, skinnier tails.

The groups share a superb sense of smell and powerful leg muscles, results of a long evolution geared towards hunting and predation.

the Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te's ears are wider with thick hair, while the Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te have stylized ears with short hair and are slightly longer and thinner.

Sun Seekers are diasporized across Eor/zea

sun seekers are mostly found in Limsa Lom.insa. many of them do not follow the clan hierarchy closely or at all

satoshi is one of those and if you tried to get him to join back with a clan he will go no

theres also a clan down in Thana.lan in the Sagoli desert. The U Tribe

Moon Keepers can be found in the Shroud. Some of them get a long with the Gridanians and some of them are poachers

female Miqo'te vastly outnumber males, a unique trait among Eorzea's races

A few facts about the Seeker of the Suns

Roughly a head shorter and smaller of body than the average Hyur, the Seekers are blessed with a wiry strength, surpassing agility, and the stamina to run for hours under the blazing sun—a combination of traits that makes them uncommonly suited to hunting in arid climes. As many Seekers are adept at climbing and diving, they also make for excellent sailors

The Seekers of the Sun are a highly patriarchal culture, with each tribe centered around a strong breeding male (nunh) whose duty is to form a harem and lead his people to glory and prosperity. Young males are born and raised as "tia," and must either assume the position of nunh by challenging and defeating an existing nunh in single combat, or leave the community to find a harem of his own. In particularly large tribes, multiple nunh may coexist in the same community, though such cases are rare

Satsuki challenged this. A lot. And she ended up becoming the first woman leader of ANY Miqo.te tribe. She was stronger than most males and she shunned the patriarchal culture that existed in the clan before she took over. When Satoshi was born, she and Miles sought to make sure that he wasn’t going to end up like his ancestors.

While not impossible, a Seeker of the Sun choosing his mother's name to be his last, would amount to shunning his culture and adopting the rules of the Keepers of the Moon. There will be some Seekers of the Sun who will respect this, but others who frown upon it

Satoshi straight up did this and he is looked down on by a LOT of of his kind that are not the ones that he knows in Limsa L.ominsa

There’s 26 Miqo.te clans for each letter of the Eor.zean alphabet.

Satsuki’s clan was most likely an offshoot of either the S or K clan. Which happens often with males. Again, Satsuki is just weird. She took a Moon Keeper (Miles) as a husband so...

Some male miqo.te leave the tribe to try and become breeding males for themselves and establish a new clan. most females don’t follow tho so they die out

Satoshi kinda did this? but he left because he couldn’t deal with the grief of losing his parents. no one followed him because they perceived him as weak.

About names...

Technically Satoshi and Satsuki should, well, be S’toshi and S’tsuki cause probably of the S tribe bull shit but again, Sats tribe was weird and she was weird and since her tribe was an offshoot, I’m sure she had leeway to screw with some stuff.

A few facts about the Keeper of the Moon

Roughly a head shorter and smaller of body than the average Hyur, the Keepers of the Moon are distinguishable from their diurnal cousins by their fur, dark as fog, and rounder eyes with large pupils. They also have larger ears, more pronounced canines, and longer, skinnier tails

Though lacking the physical stamina of the Seekers, they make up for this with a fierce strength of will and unerring instincts. With their keen intuition, Keeper hunters have been known to easily snare even targets concealed in the gloom of night.[3] Keepers are known for their reticent and brooding personalities, but are also respected and sometimes feared for their tenacity

Keepers are known for their reticent and brooding personalities, but are also respected and sometimes feared for their tenacity

In contrast to the Seekers of the Sun with their male-dominated tribes and harems, the fundamental unit of Keeper of the Moon society is the family, centered around a strong mother figure and her children. Keepers are known to form small communities composed of two or three families who hunt together

Now ya’ll know why Miles miqo.te was so attracted to Satsuki miqo.te. she pretty much embodied everything that the keepers of the moon loved. and im sure miles fell hard and fast.

satoshi physically resembles seekers of the sun but he absolutely 100 percent loves his keepers brethren outlook more

satsuki was everything to satoshi

The men of the Keepers of the moon live a wanderer's life, and the women generally believe that men are at their best in small doses. Keepers of the Moon are not raised with a father, and so women and children keep the hearth, ply various trades, and accept game and visits from the menfolk.

idk this just makes me laugh lmfao

i bet miles tried to leave and satsuki was just “wtf are u doing dumbass’

I don’t know much about the mit/hra personally but it does sound like that the keepers of the moon take after them more than the seekers of the sun do

what follows are my own personal headcanons i guess

evolution wise, miqo.te evolved from the mith.ra and they lost many of the cat like appearance that the mi.thra had. such as the feline like face

miqo.te can still do things such as pur and they LOVE raw fish. catnip is their worst enemy

many different clans have various different tattoos for their faces

their ears are indicative of their mood.

so is their tail.

their ears are sensitive! but not in a bad way. some miqo.te dont like it when you touch them but most of the time? they really do

and head scratches ;v;

dont touch their tail tho
